Despite it’s amazing usefulness thus far, some of us have had issues with the Quicksilver’s extracool Social Bookmark plugin (mostly problems scanning the source). For those of you not yet familiar with this fantastically handy function of QS, there’s a nice intro and set-up walkthrough over at lifeclever.
However, it turns out that the current version you are no doubt running is not truly secure. Passing data in cleartext is not the end of the world, but it’s nice to know that the new version fixed this vulnerability. Except, how the heck to you upgrade to the new version? You can’t do it from within the QS plugin pane. QS thinks it’s up-to-date with version 8F.
Thanks to MaxP, here’s how to upgrade to the Social Bookmark plugin version 92 (i’m pretty sure you need to be running the latest, ß51 (3800), comment here if your milage varies…) –
- invoke QS and put this string in the first qs pane: qsinstall:id=com.blacktree.Quicksilver.QSDeliciousPlugIn
- then tab to the next pane and select “open”
- confirm the resulting prompts to install and relaunch (you may need to RE-invoke qs to see those prompts).
- the plugin may take some time to rescan the source, you can do so manually from the QS plugins pref pane.
Enjoy!
