One more change to the google voice actions
Apologies users to my Google Voice Quicksilver actions and OS X services:
I found one more bug in the php script and killed it.
Which is good.
Bad news is there’s no way for me to update the copies of the script that are on your computers. You’ll have to do it manually by tracking down a file named “google-voice.php” and deleting it. The next time you run one the actions the script will get re-downloaded with the updated code.
The file is located in different locations for the QS Actions and the Services.
Quicksilver actions: ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
OS X Services: ~/Library/Services/

Update for Google Voice Quicksilver actions and OS X Services
One of my first posts I released applescript actions for Quicksilver that let you easily send a SMS or initiate a phone call thru Google Voice as well as OS X (10.6 only) services that let you right click on a phone number in any application and do the same.
Sometime in the last week the PHP script I used to work with GVoice broke. I fixed it. If you already use the QS actions and want to get them working again:
Go to “~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/” (“~” means your home folder) and delete “google-voice.php”. That’s it. The next time you use either the gvDialer or SMSgv actions they will automatically download the updated version.
If you already use the the OS X services you can find and delete the old “google-voice.php” file in “~/Library/Services/” folder. The next time they are run they’ll download the fixed php file.
If you’re just finding out about all of this and want in: read the original post here, the actions and services will just work.
Snow Leopard Services… pt3, Google Voice
Seemless integration of Google Voice into Snow…
Select a phone number in any application, right click, select the services sub-menu, and choose either gvDialer or SMSgv to initiate a phone call or send a text message through your Google Voice account.
If texting, a dialog box will pop up for you to type in your message.
Growl will growl (if you’re a growler) upon dialing/sending the message.
The first time you run this the service will ask you to enter your Google Voice account info (it’ll get stored in your Keychain). The services also require a php script to do the heavy lifting and you’ll get asked about installing that to your Home/Library/Services folder.
There’s also Quicksilver actions that do the same thing. Once installed:
Activate Quicksilver, and either enter a phone number in QS’s text entry mode, or use QS to search your Address Book and find a phone number. The point being to get a phone number into QS’s first pane.
Tab over to QS second pane and type till you see either gvDialer or smsGV (depending on what you want to do, dial or text). and hit enter. If you’re texting a dialog box will appear allowing you to enter your text message.
To install: download and unzip the following file below, move the two actions smsGV.applescript and gvDialer.applescript to ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/ (where ~ means your home folder, and if you don’t already have a folder in Application Support/Quicksilver/ named actions, make one, and put the two files there. Restart Quicksilver and you should be good to go.
