Re: Spotlight Plugins don't immediately work?

Your correct, about Spotlight (at least to the best of my knowledge).
And your right again with your suggestion for the Application to handle this problem instead of the plug-in.
A simple fix (for Apple <wink> <wink>) would be to add a Folder Action Script that runs the needed command when a Spotlight plug-in is added to the Spotlight plug-ins folder.
Also on that note a simple Apple Script could work as the installer for a Spotlight plug-in; that way the user doesn't have to interact more than double clicking the script. Just a thought.



Spotlight importers can reside within the application's bundle, so this isn't going to help. Especially for drag and drop installs.
