Up-and-coming GTD productivity app Actiontastic has a new public beta (beta 3, app version 0.8.2).

The updated version has a completely rewritten database. Several interface improvements add extra grunt without sacrificing the underlying interface design goal of “a lean mean action contextifying machine”, among them a new drawer for adding notes to inbox items, projects, contexts and actions, better drag and drop, smarter editing of existing events and a shortcut to turn actions quickly into projects.

But the real show-stopper in this release is the Quicksilver action which comes bundled with the release and which you can install by double-clicking on the file in the disk image (as John rightly points out in the comments):

You can use it to file a thought quickly into the app’s inbox or select text in an email or web page, hit ⌘-` (you may need to disable Front Row first for this to work) and watch as Quicksilver fills an initial text field with the words you selected, letting you quickly execute the Actiontastic action and file it. Nifty.

The public beta is available from his web site and expires on 18 December.
