Quicksilver developer update with new triggers, preference UI, more

A pre-release, developer version of Quicksilver is available with a seriously revamped preference pane. Also included in this not-ready-for-prime-time release: a new Triggers system that allows for groups, a revamped plug-in pane with categories and "droplets," which you can read more on here. I'm sure there's more hidden under the hood of this release, but finals are trumping the amount of time I have to tinker with this stuff.

Since I just know some of you are going to ask, here's how to get your hands on this developer preview edition, but please do not bug us if things get wonky; it's an unstable dev edition. You have been warned: Go to the Application tab in Quicksilver's preferences and change which version it checks for updates; I believe it's actually called 'developer preview.' Then tell it to check for an update and you should be able to snag the new version. Enjoy.

By the way, if anyone stumbles on this post in the future and is wondering what's going on... turns out for me it was a problem with permissions. I'm not logged in as admin, so I had to pull Quicksilver.app out of my Applications folder, auto-update it, then drag it back. Works like a charm now.

lakiolen- I theoretically should be getting that too:

"A new version of Quicksilver is available; would you like to download it now? (3766)"

And I do get it downloaded... just doesn't install itself.

I just selected the Development Versions, clicked Check Now and it did its thing and now after it restarted, I've got version 3766.

Well, you've got me. I've switched it to "Development Versions", downloaded the new version it finds about 3-4 times now and it still doesn't get installed. I click the "install and relaunch", it relaunches, but I'm still stuck on version 3758 no matter what I seem to try. Strange. :
