Quicksilver defualts
Authored by: dudemac on Jul 15, '05 12:32:39PM

Ok, I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned yet, but if you have Quicksilver installed one of the default apple script actions is "Fast Logout" as in fast user switch to the login screen. So in less than four key strokes my computer is locked at the login screen and all my programs stay running. Plus its more secure than the screen saver.

I can't recommend enough the Quicksilver program. It saves me so much time and I am constantly learning of new functionality. I hardly use the finder or spotlight, but I use QS all the time.

same here. I never use spotlight, because I know where my stuff is and for starting programs QS is just 1000 times faster. plus it lets my type in stuff and doesn't need to search an endless time.

Why should fast logout be more secure than a screensaver? If I turn of fast user switching and I lock my PC with the screensaver than only I can access it and nobody can login with some other account that might be there.

I agree. Quicksilver is probably the most useful app around. I've solved this issue for myself by having it the launch the Screen Saver Engine by typing "SS".
