Quicksilver Endless Update Loop

Anyone do me a quick favor?

Basically what I'm asking is, is anyone else having an issue where QS finds an update for the newest prerelease candidate even when it has it already installed?

Wondering if this is just an issue with the latest prerelease, or if I accidentally broke something.

It just so happens I was changing a lot of system files and QS files today so I don't have a good baseline to work with here. An uninstall/reinstall didn't fix the issue, and I'm hesitant to do a clean uninstall with all my preferences gone unless I confirm it actually is something on my end.

Open up Preferences -> Extra for Quicksilver, turn on prerelease updates. You could select "Show Task manager" to make it easier to figure out when QS is updating too. Go back to General and click "Check now" under updates. "Check on launch" can be either selected or not.

Does it find an update and then restart?

After it restarts if you checked "check on restart", does QS find the same update and try to self-update again?

Similarly, if you didn't check "check on restart", go back into preferences and click "Check now" again - does QS find the same update?

 

Bump to the top for you, taelrak . I don't know the answer of your question .

 

Oh oops. I figured it out.

Thanks though.

In case anyone's wondering, it was a problem with the updater to the latest prerelease. Going to the forum and manually installing the latest version fixes it.
