Folder show as 'Catalog' and not as Folders

[daniel]

Not sure what happened...

Some of the folder entries in my Quicksilver catalog no longer have an
'open' action. I know why, but I can't figure out how to change or
modify my catalog to fix this.

For example, when I look in my catalog and open the drawer on the
left, I see the list of scanned objects such as Applications,
Documents, and Downloads. Downloads and Documents, however, show
'Catalog' in parenthesis... so when I invoke Quicksilver and select
either Documents or Downloads, I'm only allowed to apply catalog
related actions.

How do I change these catalog entries to regular folders?

Thanks,
Daniel

This has been covered before. In short, you need to delete
Quicksilver's cache and let it rebuild it. If it keeps happening, it's
possible a plugin is corrupting it. Search through some past threads
and you'll see the files you need to delete under Library Caches QS

hi daniel, as he said the fix is pretty easy for a lot of people. here
are the exact files in case you should have any problems.

Quit Quicksilver, navigate to ~/Library/Caches/
delete the com.blacktree.quicksilver folder
delete the folder "~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver"
relaunch quicksilver
they will replace themselves

daniel -

none of the fixes below or otherwise worked in the long term and i was
using b57. today i experienced the same problem in the usual sudden
way so i thought the upgrade to b58 may fix it.

i am happy to report that, on update, the problem seems to have been
repaired although i cannot be sure if this has been explicitly
addressed within the software or if it was due to the upgrade cleaning
out the existing catalogs and caches.

i will report here if there are any further incidents re. the same
issue.

good luck.
