    Thanks a lot. I am getting used to the power of QS and its awesome. Don’t know how I was surviving for these many days.

    Unfortunately append doesn’t work for me too… I’m trying to append text to plain text file…

    you are not wrong …
    you are not wrong man, i’ve downloaded this program for a day now and have been trying to see how its faster. when i want a file, i know where all of them are already. just every once in a while, reoganize your folders and u don’t need this. this isn’t faster for most thing. if u want a photos folder, just open up finder, type photos, and it comes right up, BAM! also, if u use spotlight, its even less hasslte. but seriously, open a finder window, type in folder want, Bam, its there.

    For a while I couldn’t get past square one with this: opening the home folder, but then I realised that it wasn’t “ampersand” (&) at all, but the ~ key that was required!

    quicksilver is …
    quicksilver is withering on the vine. i moved on to launchbar 5 beta. it does 95% of what quicksilver does and is much more stable and fast. quicksilver is a lot sloppier and broken since it went open source.

    launchbar is progressing while quicksilver is just trying to keep it’s head above water with osx updates.

    quicksilver in it’s day was the best program for the mac PERIOD!

    Haha this is great, QS does a lot of stuff, this shows some of them and very well, but sadly I only use QS to lauch apps, saves me time from going to the App Folder and look for it =)

    Tried it and worked with plain text. Is there way to get QS to work with RTF too? I find plain text hard to read. Thanks a lot for your help!

    Yes by default …
    Yes by default texteditor can’t save files in plain text but you can click on layout->export the text as plain and then adding text will work fine.

    Hope that this will help others too

    Thanks for your reply. So you’re saying it doesn’t work with RTF, only with .txt?

    Reason why append …
    Reason why append doesnt work is that’s not saved as plain text by default, point to a default plain txt file and append works perfectly

    I just tried to use the append function. Period > typed Text > “append” > chose text file and hit Return. Result: The No-Can-Do sound and QS closed. Nothing was appended. No message why.

    Is it possible to …
    Is it possible to find every mp3 in my Music folder? I tried searching for a bunch and they didn’t show up although my Prive folder was added to the Catalog. So I found the file via Spotlight and played it. Searched again in QS and it didn’t show up. After playing it a couple of times QS suddenly found the file but only this one, not any other mp3s when searchign for them.
