1.3.3 (4015) crashes constantly #2158
Comments
It looks like the crash happens when scanning a Spotlight-based catalog entry. For now, disabling it should prevent the crash. Can you share the query it’s using so we can figure out what’s wrong? |
Thanks for the quick response: It's not related to any specific query: Every Quicksilver activation causes a crash, whether I search for anything or not.
I was persistent: I managed to move fast enough to go to Catalog > Custom > Spotlight and disable it, and now I am able to use Quicksilver again. Spoke too soon: it crashed again, but I was able to keep it alive long enough to find and disable Plugins > Spotlight > Smart Folders and Plugins > Spotlight > Comment Tags. It's been alive for 5 minutes or so now, and I'll await further instructions. Thanks again! |
For the record, here’s the crash.

I moved it to a "Plugins (disabled)" folder and restarted Quicksilver. It's only been a few minutes, but it seems to be just as stable as it has been since I followed @skurfer's instructions yesterday: moving quickly (since at that time I was only getting 30 seconds of Quicksilver operation per launch), I disabled all of the catalogs related to Spotlight under "Plugins" and "Custom," making it perfectly stable. As far as I can tell, it remains stable now that the (idle, thanks to skurfer's help) Spotlight plug-in is now a plug-out. |
That’s weird. It’s not configured to actually do anything. Here’s one that I use. Note the
So I guess you could just delete it. Do you remember creating it? Any idea how it ended up without some of the settings in it? |
This happens if you just create a Spotlight source but haven't configured it (that's how I reproduced the crash : create source, rescan => crash). As @skurfer says, it can be safely deleted. |
@skurfer and @tiennou: Thanks. I have no idea what it was supposed to do. It's been a long time since I created any new sources, and I'm not missing the Spotlight functionality (of course, I've already got Spotlight, it comes free with the OS), so I'm satisfied with the current state of affairs. I'll probably move the Spotlight plugin back into the Plugins folder to see if it behaves, in case I ever have need for it. |
Me too. From the crash report:

This was tracked to Spotlight catalog entries with no configuration, @Jmuccigr (so they’re useless). We have a fix in the works to prevent the crash, but the best thing to do for now is locate and delete the entries. (Preferences → Catalog → Custom) |
I've moved the plugin to the "disabled" folder and now also deleted that entry in the prefs. I don't use the Spotlight option too often in QS, because it's not as convenient as the actual Spotlight interface. |
Since updating an hour or so ago, I can't keep Quicksilver running for more than half a minute or so. Entirely unusable. I have submitted crash reports.
I'm on 10.9.5
