I ran into this wile working on issue 182.

To reproduce:

  1. Select multiple items using the comma trick
  2. Run an action on them that returns a result to Quicksilver

The result will be displayed correctly, but the additional items selected by the comma trick will still be present underneath it. This seems to confuse Quicksilver and causes it to display the wrong actions.

I’m sure there are ways to reproduce this with existing actions, I just can’t think of any so I’ll use the new fixed Get Path action as an example. It returns a string, so the default action should be Large Type (in my case), but if you use comma to get multiple files, some of the files still appear below the string after running “Get Path” and the default action becomes “Open”. If you try to choose Paste with Clipboard, you get EXC_BAD_ACCESS.

When Quicksilver runs an action that has displaysResult in its property list entry, it should wipe the entire first pane, not just the most recent object.

Also note that these actions work fine with multiple objects without the comma trick. If you use ⌘A for instance, or select multiple files in Finder and use ⌘G.

FYI, the new improved Get Path action can be found in my branch for issue 182.

I think I’ve fixed this, but I’m not sure of the ramifications. I’m going to run with the fix full time to see if it broke anything else.
