I’ve been meaning to write a post about QS for a long time (about a month) - but didn’t think that I could really do it justice with my rather bad, terse, prose style.

Sod it - I’ll never do it justice - so I’m posting about QS now. I won’t explain it very well - but you (dear reader) can find out more by Googling or reading the docs.

QS has become an addiction for me - if I find myself using a Mac without QS installed I get very frustrated.

It all started (for me) about a year ago when a friend showed me LaunchBar which allows you to open files by typing parts of their names. I thought “wow - that’s clever, but I’m not paying for it” (I can be rather cheap like that.)

Then early this summer I found out about QS. I can’t even remember where from now… At first I thought it was just a free version of LaunchBar - but I quickly discovered that it is so much more flexible than just a file locator.

Now I use it for almost everything.

I shall add to / edit this post later…
