Quicksilver alpha builds, B50 Bulldog

Yeah, and every single other dmg mounts just fine, but for some reason, the Quicksilver DMG fires up Stuffit!

Alex: why on earth are you opening a .dmg with Stuffit? All .dmg files should open (by default) with /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app

^^ Confirmed: there's a png called, "QuickSilverMenu.png" inside the package in /Contents/Resources/. Just for fun.

I've hacked QS's internal icons before (like the onerous 'rocket' icon for go - I made a nice green "go!" icon that looks cool). Hunt around inside the QS.app package; maybe it's in there.

I must say, I'm not really a fan of the new menu bar icon. Is there a way to change it back without going back to the old version?

I use QS and everyone I've showed it too after they've used it for a day or so can't go back to not using it. I'd love to see this integrated rather than have spotlight. I've removed it from the menubar. I do still use it for searching however as QS loves to suck up resources if your catalog is large (having the developer documentation plugin for example).

I cannot download Quicksilver! I download the .dmg, then Stuffit wants to extract 2 images that it can't mount.

It's so weird.

The new icon is designed by Adam Betts, if I'm not mistaken:

I use QS to pipe text strings *into* Spotlight, so you don't have this silly search-as-you-type nonsense. It makes for very fast queries.

I really detest the way the Spotlight search results box is 'modeless' and isn't attached to the finder (or anything else). It makes it impossible to tab back to, AFAIK.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Spotlight is for searching. QS is for *doing* stuff. There is overlap, sure, but they complement each other.

Randy, your blog comment about Quicksilver not updating its index can be remedied by setting the update time to 10 minutes. Also, Quicksilver has a number of interfaces, which may feel more "like a part of OS X." (In particular the Flashlight and Menu interfaces, although I'm partial to Bezel myself.

QS is infinitely customizable, and even if you only use a subset of its large featureset it doesn't complain.
