I have recently been playing with Alfred and especially the Powerpack options that allow you to do some of the most awesome shell hacking with a GUI that I have ever seen.

However, after playing with it for a bit I started wishing that I could quicklook items as I navigated through them in Alfred, so I asked their support for guidance and quick as a flash I got the following answer from Anna:

Quicklook support is not directly in Alfred. With the latest 0.9 release, however, provided you can find a Terminal command that would let you quicklook a file, you could then set it as an additional action in the action list.

So I was slightly disappointed but not deterred – this is after all an App that is so young, the developer has only just gone full time on it (congrats!). I have come to a simulation of what I originally wanted to do and it is close enough to my original idea to be worth sharing – so here is my howto for it.

This always bugs me with Hardware Growler in particular too, but it works for any Application that you want to run without it being visible in the Dock.

Apple has won a permanent injunction against the Mac cloner Psystar, preventing it from selling computer hardware running OS X.

Is it just me, or did you also hear the echoing disembodied voice from the Tekken game series saying “You Lose. Game Over.”

Count me in to this little campaign.
