I've heard a lot of praise of Launchbar so I decided to give it a try.
Is Launchbar not as intuitive or fully featured as Quicksilver or something?
For example, I open Quicksilver with my shortcut, type in "Finances" and my Finances folder pops up. Or I open Quicksilver with my shortcut, type in "Budget" and my Budget.xls spreadsheet pops up.
When I do the exact same things in Launchbar (shortcut, Finances), I get hundreds of hits from internet history, bookmarks, itunes - but not one instance of the Finances folder. Same thing happens with budget - lots of internet history and bookmark results, but not a single instance of the File.
Now, I can navigate to the folder (and the file) in Launchbar by typing Documents, right arrow, highlight Finances, right arrow, highlight budget.xls - but why would I want to go through all those steps when there is another program that does it much faster?
Please tell me I've triggered some option that is screwing up my results or that I can edit some preferences to get it to behave more like I want it to.
Thanks guys
