Latest Download Proxy crashes QS

[durandom]

My Downloads Path is a symlink to /Volumes/data/Downloads
I use this to conserve space on my SSD
Unfortunately this crashes QS when selecting the Latest Download Proxy.
This is also true if the symlink points to another directory on the same volume.
This is also true if the Downloads folder is empty (although #187 states it should not crash).

var/log/messages gives only this:

Nov 28 17:08:16 hexa com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[654] ([0x0-0x19c19c].com.blacktree.Quicksilver[5851]): Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault: 11
Nov 28 17:08:16 hexa ReportCrash[5847]: Saved crash report for Quicksilver[5851] version ß63 (3912) to /Users/hild/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Quicksilver_2011-11-28-170816_hexa.crash

I can attach a crash report if it help.

I had recently come across the 'empty downloads folder' bug. Seems like
#187 didn't fix it.

I have a fix in the pipeline, and just need to submit a request when I get
the time.

Just looked into the symlink bug and that also seems like an easy fix. Will
try and push something out son.

See #616 for further information on another crash

I see this issue as well (B63 on Snow Leopard). I've got "~/Downloads" symlinked to another mounted volume. Any attempt to search objects starting with "down" inevitably crashes QS.

Pull request #602 should have fixed this problem. We hope to release a new Quicksilver version soon, but in the meantime you can build the latest version from GitHub (not for the faint hearted!)

See here: http://qsapp.com/wiki/Building_Quicksilver

I will close this now that #602 has been merged into master.

I can confirm that B64 (3915) fixes this problem. Thanks!
