Therefore, I knock off 2 stars in the score. As such, I'd never recommend it to Granny. General conclusion: Great software with long term incoherent, geek inflicted quirks. When I do update, I save a copy of the currently working version first in order to be able to restore it if the new version of Quicksilver manages to break something, which it notoriously has in the past. I've also found it dangerous to update to the latest version, creating what is for me the unique situation of avoiding updates. For example, "Unable to locate 1Password logins Please set the 1Password 3rd party integration file'." means what? Good luck ungeeking the lingo. It often provides geeky, obscure notification messages that are entirely useless.If you want to save it, you have to manually name it from 'Untitled'. The version Changes web page hasn't been titled.Instead, it can run off the bottom of the desktop, making it impossible to see all the updates or click the button at the bottom to install them. If there are plugin updates available, the list window isn't smart enough to allow scrolling within the space provided by your desktop. The auto update process runs to what appears to be completion, then it FAILs, forcing the user to manually download the latest version, Quit running Quicksilver, then manually install the app and run it. However, it has some consistent, long-term problems that the developers willfully ignore. I use Quicksilver all day, every day and am grateful for its existence. Quicksilver, Default Folder, Path Finder, Alfred, I would add FinderPop (sadly not more updated by the good Turly but still NECESSARY and still 'almost working') are keeping our MacINTOSHES (!!!) on the original path tracked by Stev, making them, if carefully 'tuned up' still the best and most lovely OS: powerful while friendly.Īpple developer should learn by these guys instead to be 'corrupted by avidity'! Then there are experienced developers that keep making year after year more perfect their products, not discouraged be having been abandoned by Apple, if not even fought as atheists in Egypt. There comes out often new system utilities made by developers full of goodwill and visions that I encourage as I can but seem to be a bit lost facing the many traps put with purpose and bugs lazily left in MacOS evolving to downgrade the Macs towards iOs and phone users, as the smart asses of the marketing imposes to satisfy the avid, bulimic hunger of the stakeholders of a company that once upon a time was lead by someone whose aim and priority was to build the best computers of the world. Quicksilver has a modular structure which means features for interaction with a whole host of of other applications (iTunes, 1Password, Safari, Microsoft Office) can be done after installing the relevant plugin. Quicksilver indexes and parses only selected parts of the contents of your hard drive in the Catalog, which means it locates and displays the items matching your search quickly. As an example, if you want to find an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it, or tab and type to find an action such as Quit, Trash, Email To., Run at Login, Move To., Get Info, Reveal, the list goes on. Quicksilver allows you to find what you need quickly and easily, then act upon these objets as you see fit. Quicksilver is a light, fast and free Mac application that gives you the power to control your Mac with keystrokes alone.
