Large Type display doesn't stay on screen

[protoplasm]

Since I've upgraded to the latest version I've noticed that typing
text, tabbing over to the second pane and selecting 'Large Type', the
large text appears suddenly and then vanishes. The same thing happens
if I select the 'Get IP' script or anything similar. Text disappears
as quickly as it appears after pressing Enter. I use this little
feature for all sorts of things when I need others to see something on
my screen. Is there a fix or work around that anyone can share?

By "latest version" you mean what? b56a7?

[protoplasm]

Yes, by last version I mean:

Quicksilver-b56a7.tar.gz Quicksilver b56a7 [Universal] Jun 23 2.1

this problem has been there for the last couple of versions... search
for 'Large Type' in the discussions. i got around it by writing my own
action that displays the text as a growl message -- but in many cases
the 'large type' action would be a lot more useful :(

This is fixed for the next release.

That's great! Can you also please include 'quicklook', 'display as
growl' and 'define using the dictionary' actions in the next version?
The following are the self-defined scripts that I use for that
purpose. For the growl plugin I 'defined' an application that shows up
in the growl preferences and which is set there to be sticky; you can
possibly incorporate into the QS growl ticket.

Quicklook (calls a self-defined shell script 'qklk'):
on open of theFile
set thePath to quoted form of POSIX path of theFile
do shell script "'PATH/qklk' " & thePath
tell application Quicksilver to hide
end open

where the shell script qklk is:
#!/bin/bash
qlmanage -p "$@" >& /dev/null &

Growl some text:
tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
-- Make a list of all the notification types
-- that this script will ever send:
set the allNotificationsList to ¬
{"Text"}
set the enabledNotificationsList to ¬
{"Text"}

register as application ¬
"QS Text" all notifications allNotificationsList ¬
default notifications enabledNotificationsList ¬
icon of application "Quicksilver"

end tell

using terms from application "Quicksilver"
on process text im_text
tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
notify with name ¬
"Text" title ¬
"Selected Text:" description ¬
im_text application name ¬
"QS Text"
end tell
return nothing
end process text
end using terms from

tell application Quicksilver to hide

Define using the system dictionary:
using terms from application "Quicksilver"
on process text inputText
tell application "Finder" to ¬
open location "dict:///" & inputText
end process text
end using terms from

Is it long until this new version is available for download?

I've been having the same problem since I installed the last version
(Beta 56a7), I reinstalled QS many times but it didn't change
anything...
I hope there will be some improvement because QS is the best mini soft
I use all day long, if it dies : I die !!!
