I had to reinstall OS 10.15.7 after it became corrupted, and have lost all of my QS configurations (as well as so much else :-( ); I'm thinking there may be a file or files in an Time Machine backup that could be restored, but I don't know what to look for. Gratitude for any guidance here . . .

If you can find and restore old copies of the preferences and the Library data, it’ll be like nothing happened.

~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist
~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver

You’ll want to restart Quicksilver, and if it doesn’t pick up the preferences right away, you might need to run defaults read com.blacktree.Quicksilver in Terminal.

Oh, you’ll also need to re-authorize all the stuff in your Privacy settings, like Accessibility, Full Disk Access, etc.
