Quicksilver Screencast: Tags & Playlists

Written on January 25, 2007 by Nick Santilli and 23 people have commented

In the comments of last week’s screencast, Aaron asked about a way of creating iTunes Playlists through Quicksilver. So I thought I’d take that as an opportunity to share a couple of great Apple Scripts that have been created expressly for this reason.

You’ll see the websites in the screencast, but just for [...]

Quicksilver Screencast: In-n-Out

Written on January 19, 2007 by Nick Santilli and 32 people have commented

Got another screencast for ya’all this week. I wanted to take a step back from some of the more advanced features and tricks. Today I focus on something that doesn’t require special settings, plugins, or any interaction with the preferences screen whatsoever.

Loading items into Quicksilver focus is relatively trivial. Basically, select [...]

Screencast: Quicksilver Catalogs

Written on January 12, 2007 by Nick Santilli and 10 people have commented

One of my new year’s resolutions was to try to do a screencast per week here on The Apple Blog. Second week into the year and I nearly blew that one! It’s just been a busy week, I emerge triumphant. (at least until I run out of ideas for screencasts…) However [...]

Quicksilver Screencast: Running with Scripts

Written on January 03, 2007 by Nick Santilli and 20 people have commented

Here in The Apple Blog community, there was a mention about the power of using some of the scripts that are accessible through Quicksilver. So I put together a quick screencast showing how to make sure those options are enabled and what some of the more useful items are.

From my perspective (on [...]

Quicksilver Screencast: The Clipboard

Written on October 24, 2006 by Nick Santilli and 40 people have commented

More often than not when Quicksilver is blogged, the topic focuses on simply launching apps or some other pretty basic use. But here on TAB, I’ve tried to show some of the more advanced features of this amazing program. Recently David at TUAW got down with the Quicksilver screencasts too, and did a [...]

Quicksilver Screencast: Pictures

Written on May 02, 2006 by Nick Santilli and 19 people have commented

I knew that once everyone put in the time to get Quicksilver setup according to the last screencast, they’d be chomping at the bit to do something that was actually interesting. So I wanted to get this next screencast out sooner than later. As long as you followed The Setup, then you’re in [...]

Quicksilver Screencast: The Setup

Written on April 27, 2006 by Nick Santilli and 32 people have commented

Well, I’ve finally gotten the next Quicksilver Screencast put together. I’ve changed gears a few times, and it’s prolonged the release. Sorry about that. But hopefully we’re on course to start this the right way, and build upon it.
Instead of doing a back to basics type of screencast, I’ve chosen to do [...]

Let’s try this again.
