Wow! So many useful features that I didn’t even know about! The clipboard plugin actually does somethng, as does the shelf! Wow!

Thanks Neil, that's another feature I didn't know about. I use Default Folder to ease most of my open/save dialogue woes, but that is a great trick.

One of my favourite features:

Say you are saving/opening a document in just about any Mac program. You get the save/open sheet. Now instead of navigating the file system to the folder/file required, invoke Quicksilver, type in the few letters to find the file/folder then drag this from the quicksilver window onto the sheet. Voila! Your file/folder is automatically located and selected in the open/save sheet. A real time saver when you have complex file directories.

Ah ha, I didn't even know about that feature, and I've been using QS for several months! This is exactly why I wanted a bit of input for other users. Thank you for highlighting it. Much appreciated.

No – history of previous Quicksilver actions : Command – [ . I find it useful.

Romain - Thanks for the list, especially compressing files and web searches. Filters in the catalgue I already included as changing source options.

Pete - do you mean clipboard history?

I think the Clipboard recording feature is so useful - I've lost count of the number of times I've needed to fish something out that I cut or copied a day or so ago.
