Issue with Manytricks "Witch"

[Fred Weiner]

Friends,

Some of you may be familiar with Witch task switcher from Manytricks. I've been using it for years; something has come up recently, after a recent upgrade and also since the latest QS upgrade. The Witch pane evoked by its key combination now shows Quicksilver "Clipboard" and "Shelf;" of course I have both of those activated in QS as I have all along. When I deactivate them the Witch pane no longer shows them, not surprising. There's a preference pane through Sys Prefs that allows one to include programs to be ignored by the switcher, and I have put /Applications/Quicksilver.app in that box, to no effect: the Witch pane when evoked still shows the two processes. The reason I'm writing to this group is to find out what I might put into that preference pane to let Witch know not to list Clipboard and Shelf. Maybe nothing would work but I thought I'd ask...

“Shown” meaning they’re listed in the Witch interface, or that the
windows themselves are made visible?

Like close them permanently? Do you normally have them docked to a
screen edge or what?

Unless you use Abracadabra triggers, Quicksilver only runs one process
and it sounds like you’ve listed it.

Do you have the Dock icon for QS enabled or hidden?
