This update fixes proxy objects, which is huge. I haven't seen any other program come close to QS's flexibility. I can do "Current Selection > Search/Email/etc.", "Current Application > Show Menu", all kinds of cool stuff.

The last example shows all the menu items for the app in quicksilver, so I can search through it. Kind of like the search box in the app's help menu, but faster and easier (just make sure to bind that action to a key).



Yes, gotta love proxies.

Select an item in finder, press [alt-cmd-space] and type "email", [tab], then type the name of the person (QS searches your address book) and then hit enter to send off.

EDIT: Not very stable though...crashed it just now when trying to use the proxy select to append to file.


I experienced a few crashes after applying the update.

It's a lot more stable now that I trashed the associated .plist and reinstalled.
