Debugging Quicksilver
Disabling the Catalog
If you want to run Quicksilver with the catalog disabled, hold down the SHIFT key whilst starting Quicksilver. This will give you an NSLog in the console saying 'Catalog Disabled'
Testing an Old Version of Quicksilver
The oldest commit that is easily build-able, is commit 33022115. In order to build this version of Quicksilver, there are a few tasks you must first complete.
First, checkout the commit using
git checkout -f 33022115be10ddb169e33fef6e0a8d351305e4c9QS_ROOT/Code-External/GMTClasses/Within XCode, search for `QSKeyMap...` and delete the two .h and .m files in red
Again, within XCode, search for `QSModifierKeyHandler...` and delete the two .h and .m files in red
Open up GMTDebugSelectorValidation.h and delete lines 31, 93, 99 (related to #if DEBUG)
Open up GMTCarbonEvent.h and delete lines 399-413
Clean the targets
Build the `Quicksilver Distribution` target in the Debug state.
You can now test an ancient version of Quicksilver, and use
But be warned: Make sure you keep a copy of the GMTClasses folder when changing commits so you don't have to do all of this all over again
Commits older than this will be more difficult to build, since they use .nib files instead of .xib files, and it would involve either converting all the .xibs back to .nibs or downloading all the original .nibs.
Debugging Plugins
Debugging Quicksilver plugins requires a little more work than just clicking "Build and Debug" in XCode. There are step-by-step instructions in the Plugin Development Reference
