* multiple pasteboard
* ability to add keyword web searches (wiki, imdb, etc.)

These may be present in QSB, but the documentation is sparse.

Has anybody managed to get services to appear in QSB on 10.5? I realise that everything changed for services in Snow Leopard, and I’m not seeing any change in QSB, bar the plugin being listed in my preferences.

If anybody’s had a similar experience, I’d be grateful to hear :)

However, i’m now wondering how to get multiple arguments into my script from QSB. Lets say we are talking about adding an event to your iCal. You want to have a title and a date. Is the only way to get this info via parsing the text object you create in QSB? Ie, can i have multiple text objects passed into a script? It doesn’t appear to work this way, so i’m thinking that you have to parse the text object, which means having a “format” to how you enter your data.. Like

“here is my new event | may 6 2010″, and in the service look for the ‘|’ character and parse out the date…

Or something :)

But how did you replace the google-logo within qsb by the quicksilver icon? You can see the logo after 19s in the video. Thanks.

I have been looking for weeks on how to make better use of QSB. Are you folks planning on doing more posts like this?
