Quicksilver

Saturday, August 21, 2004

I love Quicksilver. The more I use it, the more functionality I discover. Quicksilver does everything LaunchBar ever did, and more. Quicksilver is my new command line.

You guys using Windows and Linux don't know what you are missing. Check out AppRocket for the taste of a cheap rip-off.

For some reason, their website detests screenshots for the curious souls. Got any? :)

    The first screenshot was shot with a Nikon camera? Why?

      Must be an error. The picture is too clean for a camera, plus the menu bar in the screenshot clearly indicates he's using a screenshot app.

Linux?
The download only seems available for WinXP, and needs the .Net free package et al. No hope for Linux users to integrate it! or am i missing something?

  Re: Linux?
  Maybe you should Wine a bit.

      Re: Linux?
      slow ?? what kind of machine are you using ?
      
      Any app that runs on wine runs just as good as under windows!(getting them to run is a different matter!)(In fact some apps run better/faster on wine+linux than on windows)
      
      I play a lot of games under wine... and it's anything but slow... and people actually pay transgaming for cedega subscriptions.

  Re: one of the apps "copied" in tiger
  John Gruber has an excellent argument for why it's not copied: http://daringfireball.net/2004/06/dashboard_vs_konfabulator
