If I'm missing something, let me know; but it seems invoking the OF quick entry feature from within another app causes OF to come to the foreground. This is, in my opinion, distracting and undesirable. The "context" or "mental state" I was in is disrupted as OF marches to the fore, asserts itself, and demands my attention. So now I have to appease and dismiss the program before getting back to what I was previously engrossed in before being so rudely interrupted.

I'd like to request as a feature a less obtrusive means for making quick entries from other applications. If there's a way to do this already, someone please let me know.

I'm not seeing this foregrounding behavior on my computer.

Adding things via Quicksilver might feel quicker.

Really? That's interesting. I'm running 10.5.1 on a Mac Pro, and when I use the clipping Quick Entry, OF comes to the front.

I think that might be a bug. You should report it via "send feedback". It happened to me once today, but didn't repeat.

What's Quicksilver?

a launcher and much more

Quicksilver rocks! I love it. To chime in, I have never had OF activate on the Quick Entry.

Ok, I now realize I wasn't specific enough. I was referring to quick entry via the OF clipping service. I just tried plain old quick entry, and there was no activation of the OF app. If I use the clipping service from Safari or Mail, however, OF is activated. It's annoying, but perhaps there's no way around it?
