Ken, as per my comment about to Liam, the QSB developers know that this is a big hole in the app, and are working to add it.

I thought that QSB would search my gmail account. How? Does it? I’m not seeing that this works???

@Toby — You raise a good point. Not everyone may be able to work it out. I’ll post something on this, I think.

latest QSB release seems to fix the problem, at long last. Moderator, fee free to eliminate both of my comments!

Thanks for all you do, hawkwings!

Man, I can’t figure out how to Send File with Martin’s services plug in. I can send text and things, but not objects. Any ideas of what I might be missing? I’ve spent hours trying to figure this out!

Thanks for any advice, anybody!

Thanks for the pointer to QSB. I’ve installed it and the plugins and it’s looking really useful.

@Liam, Great to hear from you! I recall one of the developers saying that contacts and calendars are some of the things still on the to-do list for QSB. Development seems to be cracking along at a fair pace, so it won’t be long. He said, hopefully ;-)

Great to see you back Tim. How have you been going recently?

I just switched from Quicksilver to Google QSB actually, because I was under the impression it would search my Google Apps address book and calendar, but alas it doesn’t.

I haven’t been able to, but you may well have found a plugin that allows this? It seems silly that it can search my documents (although precipitate does that in Spotlight for me) but not my Google Apps/Gmail contacts.

Again, great to have Hawk Wings back :)

@Tom, thanks for the tip. I’d like to see more happen with QSB too. Let me know of any other plugins that you come across.

I’m happy to trade the flexibility of Quicksilver for the support and development QSB is getting, but I’ll be even happier when the poser of QSB increases some more!
