Descripton: View files in Leopard's Quicklook.

Where to save: ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/
Quicklook.scpt

Usage: Select a file in Quicksilver, and then run this action.  A
Finder window will open, revealing the file, and then Quicklook will
be invoked to show you a preview of the file.

Code:

on open these_items
        tell application "Finder"
                activate
                select these_items
                tell application "System Events" to key code 49
        end tell
end open

This alternative version does not require a Finder window to open.
However, this method of using Quicklook is not as functional as when
used from Finder.  So it is a tradeoff: a fully functional Quicklook
with a Finder window using the script above, or a partially functional
Quicklook without a Finder window using the script below.

Code:

on open these_items
        set these_paths to ""
        repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
                set these_paths to these_paths & space & (the quoted form of the
POSIX path of (item i of these_items))
        end repeat

        do shell script "qlmanage -p " & these_paths & " &> /dev/null"

end open
