Actually, I just thought of another detail concerning dependencies. If you *really* need to know what is required by a plug-in, you can look into Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Plugins.plist. The QSPlugIn dictionnary under each plus-in is pretty descriptive and should make it relatively easy to find out.

On my system activating the File Tagging Module causes Quicksilver to bloat on CPU, to more than 50% CPU time after a few days. Too bad, since I liked that plugin the best.

Just a note concerning plug-in dependencies. While I agree that there is no way of knowing what plug-in depends on what other plug-in once installed, you can uncheck the “Install prerequisites without asking” option, which is set by default. This preference is visible when clicking and holding the “setting” button (toothed wheel, left of the “refresh” button and search field) in the plug-in pane.

Thanks for the screencast, there is nothing I want more than to be like Nick, now at least I can use QS like you do. Seriously though, thanks, always nice to see someone’s setup. It gives me ideas for some changes to my setup, in spite of using QS quite differently than you do.
