I don’t know about a “formal” release. These days don’t developers on the cutting edge regard it as a mark of distinction to stay in beta as long as possible (cf. Gmail)?

Anyone here know if/when there’ll be a QS 1.0 release? It still seems like too much of a moving target for me, which I admit is an excuse not to try it sooner and getÂ distracted just tinkering with it instead actually increasing productivity.

Hi David -- there's a great setup guide for Quicksilver at 43 Folders. You can also find many other good Quicksilver posts there. Merlin's almost made the genre his own.

Lots of folk rave about QS, but I’ve not had the wherewithal before to make sense of it.

I tried wading through the documentation and I tried just using it. Neither approach worked much. Also it took several tries to get the plugins happening.

So, a Quicksilver manual sounds great. Safari is currently reporting network probs downloading it, but Firefox had no trouble.

This is great. I could use more information about how to use QS better. Thanks for the link.t

A new version (and all future versions) of the manual can be found here. If you have comments (and I hope you do) please post them on the Quicksilver forums in this thread. Note there isn't much on installation and I'm waiting for the next Quicksilver release before documenting Preferences, as they're changing a lot.

I have been using QS for what seems like forever, but I’ve always been stymied by the lack of docs. I don’t have time to wade through the forums, so this news has made me a *VERY* happy camper.

Excellent. Now if someone could just document the process of creating Quicksilver plugins, I’d be a happy camper. I’ve tried to figure out where to start, but haven’t been able to find information to get me going.
