Hi all,

Just a quick message to say that I have just downloaded quicksilver and it is really going to make a difference to the way I work. I am already so much quicker around the computer.

This program should be bundled with all Macs. :)

There's some speculation that a similar launcher will be added as an extension to Spotlight in Leopard.

Yes, it's a great program.

I've been working with it - haven't gotten a good feel for it yet. It should be easier once I get my head around it and some workflows down. :)

I have been using it for a while. So far I am kind of on the fence. There is a bit of a learning curve and it can be frustrating considering I can do whatever task quicker without quicksilver compared to the amount of time it takes me to figure out how to do it with quicksilver.

For some tasks like opening programs and contact list people it has been quicker and that I enjoy. I am sure the more I use it the better I will get at it and the more I will like it.

Quicksilver does indeed rock...

It takes a while to get the catalogue set up to only show the things you want, but once it's done its a really nice companion tool to spotlight.

I use the flashlight interface theme, so spotlight for finding stuff is on the right and quicksilver with a similar look pops up on the left to launch bookmarks, apps etc.
