It shows in the activity monitor, the dock, and the menu bar. Then it crashes.
I run Mac OS 10.6.2, and use QS version β56a7 (3825) A little background - I had some problems and I tried to uninstall the app (using CleanApp) and just re-download QS. I think that may be part of the problem. The ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/ Shelves folder is empty because of my attempt to reinstall QS. The console report for the crash is: Process: Quicksilver [46071] Path: /Applications/Quicksilver.app/Contents/MacOS/ Quicksilver Identifier: com.blacktree.Quicksilver Version: β56a7 (3825) Code Type: X86 (Native) Parent Process: launchd [251] Date/Time: 2010-01-06 15:24:12.244 -0700 OS Version: Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540) Report Version: 6 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000020 Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x96bf6362 CFBundleGetFunctionPointerForName + 18 1 com.blacktree.QSEffects 0x000c1ce9 -[QSWindowAnimation setAttributes:] + 91 2 com.blacktree.QSEffects 0x000c2785 +[QSWindowAnimation (DefaultEffects) effectWithWindow:attributes:] + 133 3 com.blacktree.QSEffects 0x000c053c -[QSWindow showWithEffect:] + 349 4 com.blacktree.QSEffects 0x000c0757 -[QSWindow showThreaded:] + 72 5 com.blacktree.QSEffects 0x000c02cc -[QSWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:] + 327 6 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x000123ef -[QSSetupAssistant run:] + 118 7 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x00007e71 -[QSController runSetupAssistant:] + 124 8 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x0000d360 -[QSController (Application) startQuicksilver:] + 2930 9 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x0000d883 -[QSController (Application) applicationDidFinishLaunching:] + 49 10 com.apple.Foundation 0x92ad71c7 _nsnote_callback + 176 11 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x96bef9a9 __CFXNotificationPost + 905 12 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x96bef3da _CFXNotificationPostNotification + 186 13 com.apple.Foundation 0x92acc094 -[NSNotificationCenter postNotificationName:object:userInfo:] + 128 14 com.apple.Foundation 0x92ad9471 -[NSNotificationCenter postNotificationName:object:] + 56 15 com.apple.AppKit 0x9506e73a -[NSApplication _postDidFinishNotification] + 125 16 com.apple.AppKit 0x9506e64a -[NSApplication _sendFinishLaunchingNotification] + 74 17 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x000030f7 -[QSApp _sendFinishLaunchingNotification] + 61 18 com.apple.AppKit 0x951c5595 -[NSApplication (NSAppleEventHandling) _handleAEOpen:] + 274 19 com.apple.AppKit 0x951c51b5 -[NSApplication (NSAppleEventHandling) _handleCoreEvent:withReplyEvent:] + 101 20 com.apple.Foundation 0x92b0c404 -[NSAppleEventManager dispatchRawAppleEvent:withRawReply:handlerRefCon:] + 511 21 com.apple.Foundation 0x92b0c1c8 _NSAppleEventManagerGenericHandler + 228 22 com.apple.AE 0x92deff3a aeDispatchAppleEvent (AEDesc const*, AEDesc*, unsigned long, unsigned char*) + 166 23 com.apple.AE 0x92defe39 dispatchEventAndSendReply (AEDesc const*, AEDesc*) + 43 24 com.apple.AE 0x92defd46 aeProcessAppleEvent + 197 25 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x90fb02a1 AEProcessAppleEvent + 50 26 com.apple.AppKit 0x9503ed02 _DPSNextEvent + 1420 27 com.apple.AppKit 0x9503e306 -[NSApplication nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] + 156 28 com.apple.AppKit 0x9500049f -[NSApplication run] + 821 29 com.apple.AppKit 0x94ff8535 NSApplicationMain + 574 30 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x0001b3a5 main + 219 31 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x00002a9b _start + 209 32 com.blacktree.Quicksilver 0x000029c9 start + 41 ...then later: Thread 0 crashed with X86 Thread State (32-bit): eax: 0x00000000 ebx: 0x00000000 ecx: 0xbfffea94 edx: 0x00000000 edi: 0x00303920 esi: 0x000332ac ebp: 0xbfffec28 esp: 0xbfffec10 ss: 0x0000001f efl: 0x00010282 eip: 0x96bf6362 cs: 0x00000017 ds: 0x0000001f es: 0x0000001f fs: 0x00000000 gs: 0x00000037 cr2: 0x00000020 There is, of course, much more, but this sums it up.
