It does a couple of things on these commands. Usually after the computer has been unused for a while, it will just hang. Doesn't crash or become technically unresponsive if I look in the Force Quick Applications menu, but it also won't accept input. Sometimes it does crash.

Just updated to Mac OS X 10.9.5.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I have this exact same issue which has occurred in both 400E and 4010 (in Yosemite 10.10.1)

Just updated to 4010 Tuesday or maybe Monday. Problem is getting worse. Now it crashes on "Copy to Clipboard"

Can you post a link to the crash log somewhere? Or just send it to me
directly.

That looks like a sample of a running QS, not a crash from using “Copy to Clipboard”. For the file you posted, it appears to be getting stuck in a section of code that only runs if you select “Move To…” or “Copy To…”. Does that sound right? Maybe you’re searching for “Copy to Clipboard”, but the “Copy To…” action gets matched first?

Anyway, it looks like it’s getting stuck going though your catalog to find folders. One or more files in your catalog is an alias to something on a network volume that isn’t available.

This wasn’t an issue in previous version of Quicksilver, and we hope to prevent it in the future, but until then, you can remove aliases to things that don’t exist from the catalog (or remove them from your filesystem if they never work).

Of course! My catalog points to an old network drive that was offline, as soon as I removed that, the hangs no longer occur.

Thanks.

That sounds right. I don't think finder thought it had crashed. I'll check my catalog list. Thanks!


Best, 
Josh

Okay, checked the catalog, didn’t find a missing drive.
Also, It’s crashing (now, it’s really crashing) on “Copy to Clipboard”. It doesn’t get to “copy to”; the clipboard comes up first.

However, I’m getting this error, that I think is the cause:
12/8/14 9:08:26.108 AM Quicksilver[91189]: Remote hosts could not be loaded from ~/.hosts: The file doesn’t exist.

That leads to this: 
12/8/14 9:09:22.987 AM Quicksilver[91189]: [Quicksilver -[QSExecutor validActionsForDirectObject:indirectObject:fromSource:types:fileType:]]: localException = '*** -[NSPathStore2 rangeOfString:options:range:locale:]: nil argument'

But I’m not savvy enough to know why I don’t have a .hosts file or what should be in it if I did. 

Hm, maybe this is the problem? 
12/8/14 9:09:25.139 AM Quicksilver[91189]: [WARNING] DropboxSDK: error making request to /1/delta - (401) No auth method found.

I’m cataloging my Dropbox folder, but I think this refers to the API, not the folder itself, right? 

Can you tell I’m confused? 

Best,
Josh.

We always appreciate your referrals.

When you select it, or when you run it?

That wouldn’t cause a crash. It means exactly what it says. No one has ~/.hosts by default. Either create it, or disable that catalog entry to get rid of the messages. See the help on the Remote Hosts plug-in for more info.

That leads to this:
12/8/14 9:09:22.987 AM Quicksilver[91189]: [Quicksilver -[QSExecutor validActionsForDirectObject:indirectObject:fromSource:types:fileType:]]: localException = '*** -[NSPathStore2 rangeOfString:options:range:locale:]: nil argument'

That could be a problem. Is this right before the crash?

Correct.
