QS keeps running.

Does QS report that it crashed whenever you restart it? (In which case it will usually offer to mail in a crash log.)

If not, I wonder if this might not be a Quicksilver issue, since there are no other indicators that it's crashing. Could something else be closing it?

Nope, there’s nothing in the system logs. I checked before filing the bug report.

So that’s a good question. The weird thing is that with no crash reports, it feels like Quicksilver is exiting normally. It’s been working fine for such a long time, now it goes for less than an hour. I’ve had numerous problems since the last macOS upgrade. Could there be something in there which doesn’t like Quicksilver running?

It's hard to say.

Have you tried temporarily disabling your plugins to see if the behavior is any different?

Can you try running the binary directly from Terminal.app (and leave it running until this happens) to see what kind of output you get?

Should be able to

  1. Quit Quicksilver
  2. open Terminal.app
  3. paste in /Applications/Quicksilver.app/Contents/MacOS/Quicksilver and hit return
  4. It should launch, might give you the request for permissions

Whenever you notice that QS has died, go back to that Terminal window and:

I haven't gotten a reply, so I'm closing this as dead. Please feel free to let me know if I should re-open.
