I’m new to QS, I don’t know anything about code (I teach myself web design, so I’ve learned HTML), I don’t quite fully understand what a “plist” is, though I have some idea. However, within three tries, I managed to do this properly and make this work. Absolutely wonderful, thanks a million! this is awesome.

Yea, I think Adium had some pretty significant changes with respect to the contact list in 1.3. I don’t actually use Quicksilver anymore, but I may install it and try to figure it out unless somebody else gets to it before I do.

Update
The code seems to work by removing the or title starts with im_contact_name portion. Seems that property disappeared in the most recent version.

It also doesn’t work for me. So close, I can smell it. Quicksilver B54 and Adium 1.3, here’s what’s showing up in the console:

8/27/08 3:29:45 PM Quicksilver[3728] error {
NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = Adium;
NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = “Can\U2019t get title of contact.”;
NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = “Adium got an error: Can\U2019t get title of contact.”;
NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1728;
NSAppleScriptErrorRange = NSRange: {0, 0};
}

Hhm … doesn’t work for me ;(
Maybe its because of Adium X 1.3?

[...] I’ve had a MacBook Pro for about 3 days now, and I’m loving it. One really sweet program is Quicksilver, which is like the Windows Run dialog on steroids. There’s a great script I’ve just started using that lets you send Adium IMs from Quicksilver [...]

Hey, thanks for making this. I was having problems with outdated versions, but with Adium 1.2.5 and Quicksilver B54 (is it B?)

I think the next level would be to get a list of matching screen names out of Adium, display a drop down, and show which user will actually receive the message. Any thoughts on how this could be done?

Very handy script, thanks. I noticed after using it to send an IM, the focus goes to the chat window.

But I’d rather have the focus remain on my current active window so I can continue with whatever I was doing. Is that possible?

Thanks again.

one thing I would add:
instead of:
send (first chat whose contacts contains user) message im_message
I used:
set im_chat to first chat whose contacts contains user
tell im_chat to activate
send im_chat message im_message

that way if the chat already exists, but a window for it is not open, it will open the window

Great. I have been struggling with the adium applescript documentation to get the old script working with the new adium 1.2.x.. this does the trick. Thanks!
