URL input gets Calculate command

[erisenhoover]

When I enter a shortcut for a URL, I get Calculate as the automatic action. Why?

Can you give an example? Are you typing this by hand?

Hi Rob. Thanks for replying.
Example: I invoke Quicksilver, type the letter "G", which is my shortcut for Google, and the Action pane defaults to Calculate with a calculator icon. I can then tab to the Action pane, type "O" and Open URL is the first option, but not the original default action.
However, since posting the topic, I uninstalled the Calculator module and now Open URL is the default action for website shortcuts.
Of course, it is better if the Calculator module works, but I rarely use it.
So, I have a workaround, but not an ideal one.

With the Calculator module installed, go into the preferences and make sure “Open URL” appears higher than “Calculate”. The calculate action works with text (and URLs are text), but the Open URL action should only work with actual URLs, so moving it up higher shouldn’t make it show up at inappropriate times.

Nice.
That works.
Thanks so much, Rob.
