Quicksilver + Calendar Events
smg
Love the idea of quickly adding these but using the instructions found online at Lifehacker and Engadget
https://lifehacker.com/171357/quicksilver-google-calendar-quick-add
https://www.engadget.com/2006/05/04/quicksilver-plug-ins-for-google-calendar-and-gmail/
I've got both the Calendar and Google Calendar plugins installed, the only second pane option I get is for Calendar and if I select this Quicksilver seems to go through with it and then sends me a confirmation note too that the event has been created. However the event is nowhere to be found in calendar. For text I've used the exact example from Lifehacker article so the format shouldn't be a problem. Any tips?

The Google Calendar plug-in hasn’t been updated in years. It was never recompiled for 64-bit CPUs and if you try to load it now, it will get moved to ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/PlugIns (disabled). That explains why you don’t see its action.
I’ll see if I can adjust the plug-in list so it won’t appear to current versions of QS, since that’s probably confusing.
There’s a very small chance that the plug-in would still work if we recompiled it for 64bit. If anyone wants to test it and let me know, I can update the listing. I don’t and won’t have a Google account to test with.
As for the regular Calendar plug-in, as far as I know it works (I never use it) and if it was hooked to Google Calendar, the data should end up there.

Maybe the syntax for the regular Calendar plug-in is different somehow? Probably not if you’re getting a success message. Anyway, I’d look this over and see if it helps: https://qsapp.com/manual/Calendar/
Maybe someone else out there actually uses the Calendar features and can offer tips?
