wow. thanks for the heads up. that is sooooooo smooth. quicksilver gets better and better.
you gotta love os x icandy!!
This is wonderful! Like denny said, Quicksilver keeps getting better and better. I’d also like to extend my thank you for the heads up! I so love living on the bleeding edge – with the likes of Camino, Quicksilver, WriteRoom, on and on and … :).
Just been playing with this myself. Nice as it is, I think I’ve just become to accustomed to the bezel interface.
Yes, I know what you mean. I am very attached to the Bezel too.
Cube – interfejs Quicksilvera….
Bardzo fajnie zapowiada sie nowy interfejs do Quicksilvera.Niestety zbyt maÅ‚a wiedza jak i niechęć do eksperymentów jak na razie powstrzymujÄ… mnie przed jego używaniem.Jednakże liczÄ™ po cichu że ktoÅ› zechce napisać ……
hmm, i’m new to QS… i don’t see how the cube rotation effect is caused when using the cube interface… any suggestions? so far, all i can see is square rather than the 3d cube when i launch an app. thanks, -jam
Jam, with Quicksilver you use tab to move between the “object” and “action” panes (and optionally a third pane). Select an object, hit tab and you will see the rotation.
ahh, now i see. thanks tim. hmm, just to make the most of the i-candy, it would be nice if it rotated when i hit enter after typing the partial app name… (that would also visually indicate the action that was taken upon default, so it would still have meaning) otherwise, in most cases the rotation won’t be seen much. oh well, that slightly reduces it from cool to cute imho. ;;)
I just updated to the latest (unstable) version 3767 (not 3776) and installed the plugin. But “cube” doesn’t show up in the “comand interface” dropdown-menu. Any suggestions?
You may need to install it from the list of plugins first, where it is listed as “cube interface”.
Did Blacktree yank the 3776 version? I can’t find it anywhere.
I’m on 3778 now. Do you have “Unstable Development Versions” selected in the Extras pane of QS’s preferences?
I think the cube interface is cool but not useful… I like to see all my steps so Bezel is the style for me!
I have ‘Unstable Development Versions’ selected in Extras, and Application feature level ‘Beta’, but I’m still not getting a version higher than 3766. The cube interface installed, but gives a ‘requires 3774′ error…
Any ideas? I’d love to give the cube a spin…
Ok, I lost like 15 minutes trying to get this. I don’t why nobody posts a link, the development version is NOT the one selected from the preference pane you have to download it: http://getqs.blacktree.com/dev/
Hi Kyle, sorry for the 15 minutes and thanks for the link.
Thanks a lot, Kyle. I now understand why QS was always telling me to update: there must be something broken in 3766 that prevents it from updating (even though it says it’s doing it).
[...] If you own a Mac and haven’t tried Quicksilver, you may be doing yourself a profound disservice. Quicksilver is a smart application switcher / desktop workflow tool. Here’s a better explanation. I’m pretty much using it for doing simple stuff like opening apps and finding files, but it seems that once you achieve Quicksliver guru status, you could rip through reasonably complex multi-step workflows like kids pull off long Tekken combos, in that the heavy lifting can be relegated to muscle memory. After using it for a few weeks now, I’d have a real tough time getting rid of it. I just installed the Cube interface, and although it’s arguably just eye candy, that UI seems more Quicksilver-ish (or true to itself) than the other interface options. Here’s a movie of the cube in action, recorded by Tim Gaden at Hawk Wings.
