QuickSilver trick (OS X only)

[Eduardo Rolon]

I just ran into a Quicksilver feature that lets you launch another instance of a program without having had to make a copy of the application so we can copy/paste between different files.
This eliminates having extra copies of the AC app in the application folder.

I am running the current version of QS B33 with advance features on (beta).

Just launch AC and after it finishes, launch QS again, type your abb for AC tab to the next panel, type "lau" and you should see an option for launching another copy.

ooo baby.

and is it reliable? any crashing?

[Eduardo Rolon]

Has not crashed yet....
and remember that QuickSilver is FREE

[Dwight]

am trying it now.

I have not gone beyond 2 AC sessions open concurrently...
enjoy

One for each hand.

I aim waiting for the Kensington "FootMouse™" before opening any more sessions, but this seems to work better than two real sessions does.

Sometimes it gets confused and "boom" no autosave.

And if you have downloaded the user accounts module then you can do fast logouts and you can define triggers for launching programs ctl+cmd+A for AC and you can select a file- launch QS- press cmd+G-tab to the next pane and move it, copy or whatever action QS lets you do with it. Since QS my dock has only a few icons...
Just remember that if you use another mac they will probably not have QS and pressing ctrl+space will not install it [/img]

And if you have the address book module then you can search your address book for a phone number and select LARGE TYPE... no more squinting at the monitor
