Writing Quicksilver Plugins: Actions
Writing an action
Previously
We set up Xcode for Quicksilver plugin development, created a Quicksilver plugin project and got familiar with the QSPlugIn portion of the Info.plist file.
We’ve introduced ourselves to Quicksilver, and told it some fundamental information about the plugin we’re making in the QSPlugIn section of the Info.plist file associated with the Quicksilver project.
In this tutorial, we look at the procedures involved in specifying and writing an action for Quicksilver.
Anatomy of a plugin - Info.plist Part 1
Previously
We discussed the basic setup required to begin writing Quicksilver plugins in Quicksilver plugins in Objective-C. Anatomy of a plugin
is a multi-section guide which explains the various sections of Info.plist, the different components of a plugin and the basic groundwork required in order to write a usable plugin.
To go through this guide, you need to have followed the steps in Quicksilver plugins in Objective-C. Once you’ve got Xcode set up properly for Quicksilver development, create a new Quicksilver plugin project in Xcode, and get ready to start planning your plugin.

Quicksilver plugins in Objective-C
Quicksilver is a ubiquitous application. Everyone knows about it, and most people use it to bolster their productivity. The application is able to catalog portions of your hard drive to give you instant access to your documents and software. Various plugins extend Quicksilver’s functionality and add more actions (such as calculations, dictionary lookups or scaling images) as well as allow it to index a wider range of files. This system is so powerful, that in two keystrokes it is possible to locate almost any file buried in your hard drive, and two more to perform an action on it such as deleting, renaming, etc. However, due to limited documentation and the application only being a Beta release, writing a plugin remains a mystery to most developers. This article aims to illustrate the steps needed in order to write a working Quicksilver plugin in Xcode and Objective-C. (Python programmers may use PyObjC).
