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).

Quicksilver, that amazing application which, under the guise of an “application launcher”, transforms the way you work on your Mac. Providing control over every aspect of your system from changing the Desktop background to moving, copying, deleting or browsing files, the real success story behind Quicksilver is its ability to evolve.

It’s finally here… The first Beta of the next generation Wordpress social bookmarking plugin - with more features, options and functionality than ever before. The whole system has been (almost) re-written from scratch. That’s a spinning head, tired brain, and over 1500 lines of code.
New features include:
- Drastically improved UI, organized structure to the admin page
- PostBadge: unlimited control over the Digg button / Share This link placement, without touching the template
- Extremely cool “check for updates” feature
- Addition of template tags digg_button() and share_this()
- Dynamic overview (pictured above) lets you know the critical details
- Completely automated alerts and messaging system. The plugin will tell you when something’s wrong. It’s alive!
- Sweetened up interface using javascript effects, and fam-fam-fam’s silk icons.
Who says Wordpress can’t handle Digg?
A big thank you to all the other Digg plugins out there. The half-implementations, buggy, or just plain annoying plugins were the inspiration behind Gregarious. Alex King deserves a round of applause for his Share This plugin, which comes bundled with (more like merged with) Gregarious. Some of the javascript and CSS from the interface was borrowed from RapidWeaver’s placeholder, and the insertAtCursor function is courtesy of phpMyAdmin.
Plans for the final release include adding a page to view a list of Dugg posts, enabling / disabling the Digg button for certain posts, documentation, built-in help system (for the whole mass of options) and a few more surprises.
This is a Beta test, so it is a condition of usage that you provide feedback, whether it be bug reports, feature suggestions or opinions and desires.
