Automator and Quicksilver

[Boomhowler]

Hello!

I'd like to choose some files in finder (or via QS), invoke quicsilver, press cmd-g to get the files in the first window of QS. Then I'd like to be able to use a workflow on these files, using the QS selection as an input.

Searching through automator for a solution gave me the function "Get Quicksilver Selection" which I thought should do the trick. However, I can't seem to get it to work at all. I can't even choose it for my workflow, I just get an error message when I try to pull the object into the workflow 🙁
The error is something like (I use the swedish osx which give me the messages in swedish, I'll try to translate it.. ):
"Get QS selection" can't be read since its executable file is not readable.

Have anyone solved this?

I've set up triggers to work with automator (posted about it here: http://groups.google.com/group/blacktree-quicksilver/browse_thread/thread/abc1a25d5aefce05#)

and you need to add 'get current finder selection' to the beginning of the workflow.

So all you'll need to do is highlight your files, invoke QS and drill down to the workflow in the 1st pane, then set the action to 'execute workflow'

but this is exactly how I already am using it. I want the workflow to be used as an action rather than a file, is this impossible?

Not sure what you mean.

Setting up a trigger for the selected finder items is the only solution I can think of - my post at google groups.

I'm having the same question/issue. (See also my thread here)
Anyone have any thoughts?
