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?

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...

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.
