So I'm like, oh, I don't want to do that. You file a bug, but then you feel bad because it's just one guy trying to maintain the thing in his spare time. And you're like, maybe I should just try another launcher.

So I just go through all the other launchers that I already own, buy the latest Alfred power pack, make sure I have the latest version of all the things, try Raycast, all these new fancy things. And it was like, you know... I can get by with some of these, but I kind of miss Quicksilver.

And then the Quicksilver dev will come back from vacation and make a change, and Quicksilver will start working again. I just feel like I'm kind of stuck here, because I'm just so used to Quicksilver, and I just want it to continue to work the way it has always worked. But the things... I'm getting hung up. And so...

some of the problems i've been having with it is sometimes they're just playing crash and that's one of the worst things it can do because it's faceless i run it in faceless mode there's no dock icon there's no menu bar icon it's just faceless it's just part of my mac and there's nothing worse than hitting command space and having nothing happen because i have a spotlight bound to command option space so having a launcher and hitting command space and starting to type and nothing happening well a that typing is now going into whatever the hell you were in like a messages window and

It's like whatever the beginning of what you're going to type. And B, it just makes your computer feel like it's broken. Right. It's just like, oh, just it's like it's like getting on an escalator that doesn't move. Right. My computer is not doing what it's supposed to do. And then it's like hung in the background or it's like it's crashing. You need to relaunch it. And how would I relaunch it?

Command space Q. Oh, no, that doesn't work. It's a chicken egg. Like I don't know how many times I've done that to try to relaunch Quicksilver. It's just madness, right? Sometimes it hangs. And then this other thing that it was doing that I actually filed a bug on was like it would launch.

But if you look at the Quicksilver catalog, which is like the list of things you wanted to index that are searchable, I have a very limited catalog with a bunch of custom items in it. And I like type command space and start typing something and it wouldn't auto complete to the thing that I know is there.

And I like type command space and start typing something and it wouldn't auto complete to the thing that I know is there.

And I'd go look in the catalog and it would be like, yeah, look in this folder and scan all the files. And it would say zero items scan. I'm like, what do you mean zero items? So I hit the little refresh circle button and it would scan it and say a hundred items. well, why didn't you scan them when you booted up?

It's like, oh, do you have it set to manually scan, to automatically scan, to scan every hour? You know, like I tried all these different things. So the bottom line was it was just not scanning my catalog. You log in, you know, you boot your computer, log in, and Quicksilver would be running, but half the catalog would not be scanned.

For no errors logged anywhere, I was just like, oh, I can't use it like this. Like, oh, either it's crashed and it's not running at all, or when it's running, I hit Command Space and start typing stuff, and it doesn't find the things that I said. So I'm like, this is too much. I can't... It's not...
