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:

> It's Quicksilver's responsibility. They were using .transmitFavorite metadata files to
> launch Transmit favorites, but we changed the extension to .favoriteMetadata in
> Transmit 4. If they're still developing their software, this should be a quick fix for them.

> (.transmitFavorite made some people think these files were actual favorites, so they

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...

I was going to post to say that - although I've upgraded to T4, I wasn't planning on looking at fixing the plugin.

If the fix is this small, I'll look into it and see what I can do.

Unfortunately time constraints have kicked in for the next month or so...

Is the source available for others to patch?

All released source can be found there at the github repo.

If you make a patch, let me know and I'll add it to the download page there.

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

Oh, and I'll upload a fixed version to the github repo when I have
some more time :)

Actually, Patrick - it does work but connects via Finder, not Transmit 4 (which doesn't even launch).  I was a bit hasty.  Send one beer back!

I thought that the solution was too good to be true.

There are still a few com.panic.transmit3 references in the code, so they need changing.

When I get some time... it'll be after 4th June :)

Whatever you can do and whenever you can do it will be very much appreciated.

Yeah, it would be nice to have the new feature of adding an SFTP
server as a disk to Finder using Quicksilver.

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?

Is there any update?
I tried to fix it myself but I couldn't even find
the .transmitFavorite, which is being spoken of by Panic.

The fix Mr. Robertson gave adds the ftp accounts I think - but opens
in finder :-(

Would be awesome if some experienced guy could take a closer look at
it.
