Just tweeted by @pvponline: No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater than a clean install of OSX on a brand new hard drive.

I’ve been thinking of doing the spotlight thing too, but haven’t got around to it.

So I haven’t had to worry about doing anything about launching vm-machine apps either. To be honest, a year on from this post, I’m not using my virtual machines much any more.

I would try creating an alias for the app you needed and perhaps putting them in a particular directory somewhere handy and launch from there… I might play with that later today.

Hey Shayne, me again. I’ve just replaced a hard disk and updated my OS and *not* installed QuickSilver. So far I’ve been happy using Spotlight to launch apps, which was the only thing I used QuickSilver for.

I’m about to google it, but thought I’d ask here first if you’d heard if one can access virtual machine apps via Spotlight?

cheers

Thanks for stopping by Noah. One day I’ll get around to writing up my list of indispensable windows apps.

Excellent instructions, just what I was looking for to launch that one (or two) indispensible windows app with QS. Thanks.
