Quicksilver’s losing weight; a far cry from the 30+ MB RAM usage it once required while idling. The speed at which it runs is also nearing “spectacular” status.
Not for human consumption. Yet.

Very much looking forward to a new version of QS. It’s one of those apps I just can’t live with out!

Really looking forward to this. Thanks Ankur!

Ankur, thanks for all your great work keeping Quicksilver alive and kicking. Is there any chance the code will find its way to github.com (to use GIT instead of SVN)? It would make it much easier for others to fork, track, and contribute to Quicksilver. It would also make it easier for you to merge in submitted changes (than the more cumbersome SVN).
Just a suggestion. I can hardly wait for your first release version.

I am pretty sure you are busy as hell with this, but just to let you know, you have our support
Just a little “i am still alive” would be great, heh!
Keep up the good work!

Yes something like “i’m working on it” would be great. Can’t believe that development really stopped…

Thank you to all the people saying “Thanks”.
I don’t know myself, but discussions are happening. Hopefully soonish.
I’d love to, but unfortunately I don’t have Leopard…
Git looks promising and I’ve been meaning to play with it, but that suggestion will have to run by Alcor and the other developers.

Sounds good. Thanks for keeping in touch.

Love Qs - hoping the next release happens before Butler goes payware
reported by Andrew on July 8, 2008 11:29 pm | Permalink
I’ve heard / red that there was a new version with the same build number on google (code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list) (btw It’s a bugfix tho nothing like ankur’s version who doesn’t only fix bugs, but also rewrites / clenses code (i think:-) )
The article was on 43folders (www.43folders.com/2008/07/08/quicksilver-update)
So for the people who can’t wait .. try that one.

I noticed a couple things you can’t do in Quicksilver Cleaned.
I can no longer send a group of files to the trash (delete multiple files). I can no longer move a group of files to another location.
I can grab the files and it looks like it’s going to work, but it only ends up moving one of the files.

Matt:
I have noticed this as well.

“Quicksilver cleaned”
is not released yet.
For people wanting to try prerelease versions, use the download from the Google code project. I’m committing many of the improvements there as well.
I just tested this with all the different permutations I could think of (in multiple versions, with different types of ‘groups’ of files) and it always worked. Hmm… maybe a Leo thing.

Aha! These things work well in Quicksilver-b56a2.
Awesome.

I noticed that in Quicksilver-b56a2, though, you can’t use the Delete (Erase) feature. When you hit enter with “Delete” selected (pictured in screenshot below), Quicksilver gets sent to the back if you have other apps open, and then when you click Quicksilver to bring it back forward and confirm the deletion, you’ll see that the file didn’t actually get deleted.

I used to use this feature a lot. Especially from within the Trash itself, because some files are stubborn, but with Quicksilver, you used to always be able to delete anything no matter what—even if it was in use—which was nice.

Thanks for the reminder - I have a fix for that which I’ll commit soon.

Any ETA for spicandspanQS-1.0?
Or how about Github’bing the source so we can all play with it? (or is it there already, and I missed ann’t?)

For those of you who haven’t noticed, the old download link points to the google code page for quicksilver (http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list).
Although he did say that some of the code was being put in the main branch, I don’t know how much is in that release.
Also, if you’re interested, you can listen to episode 100 of Mac Break Weekly and hear the original author of quicksilver talk about the status of the project. He goes a little into the details of how there are a number of developers with their own versions of the application.

i know your a busy guy but, could you pretty please give us an ETA?
uttered by Anonymous on August 18, 2008 8:03 am | Permalink
Probably two months. Probably.
reasonded by Ankur on August 18, 2008 9:24 am | Permalink
Thank you for giving us some idea. Now I don’t need to poll this board so often for the next 60 days!-)
declared by occam on August 18, 2008 11:03 pm | Permalink
occam: Aww, don’t go sayin’ that. He won’t give us more ETA’s if it’s going to start driving away traffic ;). Or maybe he’ll have to make shorter ETA’s :D.
In all seriousness, thanks again Ankur for the hard work! Keep it up.

2 Months? Sounds good.

This makes me very excited. Very very excited.

This is terribly exciting. There is no good reason for me to be as excited as I am for a software update. But I am.
