  Update, on my Quicksilver hangs:
  I was able to successfully upgrade to 2.5.6; here’s what finally worked for me:

  • quit QS
  • delete ~/Library/Caches/com.blacktree.Quicksilver/
  • restart QS & wait (a few minutes)

  just heard about this today (via “On, with Kara Swisher”) and it sounds very interesting (because potentially very effective): www.resistandunsubscribe.com

  I use Quicksilver - a LOT.
  When the 2.5.6 upgrade (from 2.5.4) failed, even my efforts to debug, were painful - most would have started with Quicksilver. :/
  Anyway, after over an hour, here’s what finally worked for me:

  • revert to v2.5.4
  • AND: delete ~/Library/Caches/com.blacktree.Quicksilver/
