unfortunately its not working for me on snow leopard and i am told i have to reset the preferences but i used it on leopard last for a number of things and it was indispensable. here are some of the uses i made of this amazing tool:
- moving files (e.g. from folder to folder in finder) makes file organization a snap
- calling people on skype (you need the services menu plugin for this) by selecting a contact from address book via QS (address book plugin) and then arrowing right to phone number and then tab followed by call (or SMS) this number. (note there is no skype plugin, it just uses services and addressbook plugins)
- capturing screenshots (using the appropriate plugins or applescripts)
- locking the screen when away from computer
- triggers: considered by many to be a power-feature of QS, they allow you to assign hotkeys to almost anything you can do with QS. i used this to search google, google feeling lucky and many more in addition to assigning app launches to my Function keys.
there is so much more but the problem is that development and support have become spotty and we are now relegated to patching together fixes much like a ship springing leaks and eventually it will have to sync unless major repair and redevelopment work is done.
google quick search box is reminiscent of QS in certain way but lacks key functions including the invaluable 'triggers' i mentioned above.
