Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Quicksilver Beta 70.

What's new in this version:

New:
- Option under "Command" preferences to switch keyboard layout when Quicksilver is active (#987, #371)
- Show the location for iCloud documents as "iCloud" instead of the actual path (#1018)
- Allow searching on both filesystem and localized names for files and folders (#730, #952, #1017)
- Files with numbers in their name are sorted like Finder (#1029)
- Colors in text entry mode are based on those of the results list (adjustable in the Appearance prefs next to "Lists"). Text no longer shows in the background as you type. (#1029) Fixed:
- Preserve existing web sources when no network connection is available (#960, #634)
- Crash prevention (#986, #1015, #1045, #828, #912, #1013, #1094, #1100)
- Prevent the same thing from being added more than once via the comma trick (#1029)
- Jump to the third pane when ⇧⌘[Letter] shortcuts trigger an action that requires it (#982, #966)
- The "Start at login" preference and "Open at Login"/"Do Not Open at Login" actions work under 10.8 (#831, #1055)
- Required bundles are taken into consideration when loading plug-ins (#1002, #1079)
- After going through the Setup Assistant, new users no longer need to manually refresh to download the list of plug-ins (#1052, #1079)
- The latest version of a plug-in for the current operating system will be downloaded instead of the latest overall version (#1063, #1079)
- Plug-ins that satisfy dependencies will be downloaded immediately, instead of on the next relaunch (#1079)
- When obsolete plug-ins are replaced, only one relaunch is required to fully get rid of it (#1079)
- Prevent the third pane from looking strange when typing text in Primer (#1100) Changed:
- Don't automatically switch to text mode unless searching the main catalog (#650, #981)
- Don't read whole files into memory when checking for executables (#1026)
- The "Quicksilver Catalog Entries" preset is disabled by default (#1041)
- Browsing through folders should be faster (#1029)
- Only search items matched by previous keystrokes (should speed matching) (#1029)
- Don't distinguish upper and lower case letters. Ensures that holding ⇧ to select an action gives the same results as typing in the second pane normally. (#961, #853)
- Quicksilver uses a custom User-Agent string when downloading plug-ins (#1079) Development:
- Removed unused `.xcconfig` files (#956)
- Streamlined documentation process for plug-ins (#988)
- New `indirectTypes` key for actions to filter what's acceptable in the third pane (#620, #1057, #1074, #1088, #1091)
- New `relatedPaths` key. Plug-ins can now be recommended based on the existence of a file or directory. (#1001, #1079)
