No Scripts (User)

[Nick]

I want quick access to my user created apple scripts. I have created
one and it's in my apple script menu. However, when I go into the
quicksilver catalog and go to the scripts screen I only see an option
for including Scripts (All Users) and not Scripts (User), which I
understand is necessary for quicksilver to catalog the scripts in ~/
Library/scripts.

Can someone let me know how I can get QS to catalog my user scripts?

Thanks

Seems like this used to be there by default, but I never needed it until recently, so I could be wrong. I added it manually.

Click the ‘+’ at the bottom of the Catalog window
Add a File & Folder Scanner
Point it to your scripts directory
Set the depth to 1 (I’m assuming) and omit the source item

That should do it.

It's not that I think guns, drugs, prostitution, swimming, eating and reading should be legal. It's just that no one on Earth has the authority to make them illegal.

The problem is that this opens my script in the editor. What I'd like
it to do is run the script. I could compile the script as an
application, but I'd prefer to launch it in the same way the script
menu does.

I don’t know much about AppleScript behavior, but the one script I have in there runs when I hit it. I notice that when I pick the script, Quicksilver provides both “Run” and “Open” actions (and they do what you’d expect) with “Run” as the default.

Maybe you just need to adjust the precedence of your actions in the Preferences.

Correct. Simply drag the Run action to a place higher up the list of
actions in QS's preferences than the Open action. It is very strange
if Nick does not have a user scripts entry in his catalogue, but
adding it manually will work perfectly well.

I didn’t have it either, which yeah, seemed strange. (I did have the “All Users” entry.) I expected it to be there when I finally needed it and thought I had even seen it before, but it wasn’t there so I added it by hand. What’s even weirder is that I went back to check just now and it’s there.

I went to ß57 temporarily several times over the weekend to test some things, so maybe all the version jumping caused it to return.
