doing the job that i needed to do so for i spent a while using alfred and i sort of hammered alfred into shape to try to make it more like quicksilver it's not exactly like it in in ways that are in pointless ways just like aesthetics like i like the big i use like the quicksilver bezel um bezel classic i think whatever it is it was the original appearance of quicksilver and they they changed it years and years ago and i complained and i said hey i'm

why don't you just leave the old appearance in too? You have seven different appearances, but you deleted the original appearance. Just leave them all in so we can pick our appearance. And they brought back the one and they called it classic or whatever. That's the one that I used. It's got really big icons.

When you type command space and start typing something, it cycles through the matching icon. Like as you type, as it refines it, it just basically, it just shows you the top hit. And configurably, you can make it after a delay show you the second and third and fourth hits, or you can make it only when you hit the down arrow show you the second and third hits.

But the bottom line is, when I'm typing, I just want to see one very large icon right in front of me that is cycling as I type things. And if I want to, I have it set. So if I want to see the third and fourth, the second, third and fourth options, I use the down arrow. Alfred doesn't work like that.

Alfred has a configurable amount of stuff that it's going to show you, but it doesn't, it can't just show you the one item and the icon is smaller. And if you do make it show you only like the one item and you don't have the option to show the other ones, like it's just, it's just not the same. Right. But, you know, hey, it works. So I was using Alfred for a long time.

But like I said, the Quicksilver developer came back and he fixed some bug in something. And the Quicksilver wasn't crashing anymore. And by the way, Quicksilver was only crashing on my computer, but not on my wife's computer. But she has a different catalog set than I do. But for a while, it was freezing on her computer. And she was complaining about Quicksilver.

And I'm like, I'm going to have to take her off Quicksilver. Maybe I'll put her onto Spotlight. And just it's made me think about like how... such a small part of my computing life can throw everything else into chaos, right? It's kind of like if, like, the right button on your mouse only works sometimes. It's not a big deal, but it's like... Oh, that's a big deal.

It doesn't realize how often you're doing that. Like, there's a quick workaround. Just click it again or something, right? And then, you know, the workaround to Quicksilver, like, launch it with Spotlight or whatever, but it's just been a mess. Anyway, right now, I'm running Quicksilver again, and it's no longer crashing and no longer freezing. It's scanning my catalog, so fingers crossed, but...

I'm not going to write myself a Quicksilver replacement, and like I said, I can't even get Quicksilver to build due to things that are above my pay grade in Xcode, causing it just not to build. Or maybe it will build, but it won't let me attach a debugger, because I want it to catch where the crash was or whatever, and LDB gives me some error and I want to attach to it. But anyway, that's all.

I just wanted to complain about Quicksilver, which has been such a fixture in my computing life, and I'm sure everyone's going to send me all their alternatives. Like I said, I probably already own all of them. And some of them are really good. And some of them are really cool. And some of them, you know, tons of them do things that Quicksilver couldn't even dream of.
