Greetings. I am just wondering if anyone in the Quicksilver community has any news about the ability of Quicksilver to send attachments through Gmail. The last forum post was about four years ago, and I see that the program is constantly changing, being improved, etc.

Unfortunately, Gmail still has no method of attaching files from your local hard drive except for using drag and drop or the attach button. This is a feature I would also like, so if/when it comes available I will most certainly make it available.

Reason #8 why a web browser makes a lousy e-mail client. :-)

Gmail supports real clients, which would give you this ability.

Theoretically, it might be possible via Scripting Bridge to use
doJavascript (Safari)/execute (Chrome) to execute JS that simulates
the drag and drop functionality. I haven't tried to do this, and I'm
not sure if there are any security measure that prevents such code
from executing, but it might be a way to go. It may be too complex to
fix, and it seems Firefox does not contain any functionality to
execute JS.
