Getting Quicksilver show notification to work

Jump to Comments

Anybody trying to use “show notification” Applescript with Quicksilver b54 (3815) may get this error: “Quicksilver got an error: Some parameter is missing for show notification”

Looks like it is a bug on this version, as more people reported here.

You may try providing all parameters. Here are some examples:


tell application "Quicksilver"
	show notification "QS Notification" text "QS text" image name "Quicksilver.icns" image data read (path to resource "Quicksilver.icns") as picture
	show notification "Yes Notification" text "Yes text" image name "BooleanYES.png" image data read (path to resource "BooleanYES.png") as picture
	show notification "No Notification" text "No text" image name "BooleanNO.png" image data read (path to resource "BooleanNO.png") as picture
	show notification "Toggle Notification" text "Toggle text" image name "BooleanTOGGLE.png" image data read (path to resource "BooleanTOGGLE.png") as picture
	show notification "App icon" text "App icon text" image name "com.apple.safari" image data read (path to resource "Quicksilver.icns") as picture
end tell

Now it should work. Note that the displayed image will be defined by the image name, not the image data, which seems to be just ignored.
