Quicksilver v2.5.6 Release Notes
This release is a minor update to v2.5.5 to avoid a potential crash
New Features
- Extract text from images — Image objects now have their text extracted, allowing you to search for text within images
- Additional search context for objects — Objects can now carry hidden search context (e.g. text extracted from images) that improves search without cluttering the UI
- Open plugin docs on the web — Plugin documentation now opens on the web when available
Improvements
- Resolve indirect objects on a background thread — Avoids blocking the main UI and a potential deadlock
- Bring up main window synchronously — If already on the main thread, avoids an unnecessary dispatch that could cause a laggy feeling
- Improve opening the Preferences pane — Using ⌘, now more consistently brings the Preferences window to the front
- ⌘F now focuses search bars in Preferences — Works across General, Actions, and Advanced preference panes (#1011)
- Score 3rd pane objects when displaying — Improves relevance of results shown in the third pane
- More fuzzy searching for plugin names — e.g. searching "mail" now returns "E-Mail Support"
- Tweak to insertSpace — Avoids resolving objects when not needed
- Filter out non-bundle applications from results
