You know, I didn't understand what this app did either until I read and followed this tutorial:http://vjarmy.com/archives/2004/03/quicksilver_a_b.php
I now wish I had given the app a chance a long time ago. Give it a try.

A complete waste of time? - Adreitz
Have you ever heard of MacBreak, the Mac video podcast that's filmed in HD? I recommend watching the podcast for 7-25-06, which is all about Quicksilver. Demonstrates it in use and the power it has. I hadn't heard of it before seeing the podcast, so I've downloaded it and tried it out.I guess its major power is to initiate fairly complex commands quickly, with a "noun - verb - object" construction. Or you can just use it as a launcher to quickly launch programs buried deep in your hard drive. In order to use it efficiently, though, you need to be experienced with it, which apparently takes a week or so. The program is also insanely powerful and flexible to the point that I don't know 3/4 of what it can do. That's probably why you've had a hard time finding a synopsis of what it is.

totally agree -- overly complexified & no clear explanation for what it does - SWriter
couldn't agree more with all the critiques -- it looks nice, impressive all that but wtf is it for? and if it's not intuitive & easy to simply use -- it's not mac-like at allMonday, July 31 2006 @ 02:37 PM PDT
A complete waste of time? - Razzledazzle
Yeah this application is REALLY difficult....lemme see now you use the keyboard...that's the thing with all those funny buttons that looks like a typewriter. You press control space and up comes this here window where I guess you type in F for Firefox or S for Safari anf gosh up comes a whole bunch of stuff and waddaya know Safari is at the top of the list. I guess I then push return and Safari comes up. Yeah this is real tough to learn. How about iTunes ??? I type Itunes in that there window and iTunes shows up I hit the right arrow and I get a whole bunch of playlists....yeah this stuff is soooo difficult it's more than a moron from Windoze can absorb in one sitting.Reply to This
