I am working on a Spotlight importer for FITS image. For those who
are not familiar with FITS files, this is the format of most
astronomical data, and is usually made of a header containing
keywords and values, and then data in a binary or text form. Some
keywords in the header are standard, but users can also make their
own keywords. So I was wondering: would it be possible to create an
importer which attributes could be customized?
I would imagine a small application wich would help manage the
spotlight attributes of the importer. When the user makes a change
(adding or deleting a keyword), Spotlight would be informed that a
change occurred and would reindex FITS files. The attributes would be
stored in a plist file somewhere, and when a FITS file is indexed,
the importer would read the plist file to know which keywords need to
be indexed.
Does that make any sense? Do you think it can be made?
