I've just upgraded to Transmit 4, and so the venerable Transmit 3 QS
plugin has ceased to work. I emailed Panic to ask if they knew
anything more about what might have caused it to break, and received
the following from Les Pozdena at Panic:

So, might it be possible for the Transmit plugin to be updated to
support the new version? At least judging by this comment it seems
like it's a small fix...

Just looked into this and the solution is actually really simple. No need
for any rebuilding.
Here are the steps to get it fixed:
1. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Plugins (~/ is your home
folder)
2. Right click the Transmit Module.qsplugin file and click 'Show Contents'
3. Go into the 'Contents' directory
4. Open the info.plist file
5. Change every 'com.panic.Transmit3' to 'com.panic.Transmit'
6. Save the file and relaunch QS.
It should all be fixed now!
Attached is the info.plist file with the corrected values if you just want
to drag/drop it into the 'contents' folder

I downloaded the code to try and patch it, but I can't edit
Transmit.scpt, which I think _might_ be the missing link. Is there a
plaintext version of it anywhere?
