This is an old thread, but I just came across it as I have the same problem after upgrading Lion and thought I'd add my solution. While I tried the steps from other contributors below, they did not work for me. I found that my hotkey (command shift) was bringing up the spotlight function. Essentially, my shortcut was already assigned to a specific function so quicksilver was not able to run with the same shortcut and thus would never open the program. Extremely frustrating. To get rid of spotlight coming up every time I entered command shift, I did the following:
1. Open system Preferences 2. Choose Keyboard 3. Choose Keyboard Shortcuts 4. Choose Spotlight 5. Uncheck "Show Spotlight Search Field" And voila! Once I did that, the hotkey option I chose worked like a charm for opening quicksilver. I think if the other steps in this thread do not work, you just need to find the shortcut that may be duplicated in your computer preferences and either change that to make way for the one you chose for quicksilver. I'm sure you've already resolved the issue on your end, but hopefully this will help others. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
