That merawindows link is giving 'critical errors'. I assume its running on Windows Server...

LOL! :lol:

It is Vishal's website - the only sane Windows fanatic on this forum.

So let's talk about Quicksilver. Aayush, you got any tricks up your sleeve for working with Quicksilver? Even though I do a lot of things with quicksilver, I still feel like I'm scratching the surface...
You feel like it; I know it. I only use it as a launcher.

I do have a very in-depth screencast of QuickSilver and a whole novel (PDF, of course) on its features and how to put them to best use. I'll send them someday.

What do you use it for apart from the launcher part?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Well I never open iTunes anymore.

I don't open Finder anymore. I rarely use spotlight (only in cases where I don't know the filename since spotlight searches for text within files and such)

I access photos in iPhoto through QS

I use it for iCal alarms. Large text onscreen. that's all I can remember for now...

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

How do you access the contents of applications like iPhoto and iTunes? You type 'ip' and hit 'Tab'. What follows after that?

BTW, I think this is now the largest non-sticky thread on this forum. :D

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Don't "tab". Use the right arrow key. Say, you type in Artists (with the iTunes module installed). It should come there Browse Artists. Then you hit the right arrow and it will show you all the artists. then you type in "coldplay" and it will narrow it down to coldplay. You can also use the arrow keys to navigate.

I challenged gx_saurav to a shootout once. Both of us make presentations on a particular theme of his choosing and see which one comes out tops. He backed out. If you are up to it, I still do have some free time I could make use of.

That challenge is still on, but ported to Microsoft Word 2007 & Pages 08 :D. I m busy these days so....forget it.

Do one thing. Make a presentation in keynote, the best one u can make. Then give it here in a format we Windows users can also view. Then we will make the same presentation in PPT 2K7

If you are correct, we shouldn't be able to make it as good as keynote 08 in PPT 2K7.

If we can make the exect thing, that means Keynote 08 does nothing more or less then PPT 2k7

Here is the best part. Suppose keynote has X Effect by default (example), and its not there in PPT 2K7, wel...just open the sidebar -> look on Office website....walah....got the effect in 2 mins.

Oh. I get it now. Easy stuff.

Why do you prefer it to browsing in iTunes though?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Its much faster. When I'm working on something, I just hit Command + Ctrl + T (that's my trigger for searching for tracks) and enter the song name. (Go to quicksilver preferences > triggers for this stuff).

As for using Finder, I just type in "D" (which shows Documents) and then search for the filename.

And since I type at speeds upwards of 70WPM, it is much much faster than using the mouse.

Didn't know you were a n00b at QS. There are so many things I do with QS...
