Hi Tom,
The reason I added the #include is to get rid of the "Undefined
symbols: _GetMetadataForFile" error I was getting when compiling
the project (which was created in the proper manner in XCode)...
If I'm doing something [terribly] wrong, please let me know!
hmm, still, you should never have to include a c file, if you're
getting undefined symbols there's either a typo or you're not
linking properly. Try checking the function is defined exactly as
it should be in the docs, and then if that doesn't work, I guess
make a new project and add the files again.
The problem is, we already made a brand new project, got the UTI
registered and everything, but the same error pops up. The new
project was also a lot more basic than the older one (the one I
first described), with no schema entries, just an object under the
kMDItemAuthors key in the GetMetadataForFile function... I'm
puzzled as to why this is occurring, as we followed the Apple docs!
well I haven't tried to make an importer, and I'm definitely not
going to start tonight, I have to write 2500 words on the Free Trade
Agreement and software patents, but maybe tomorrow or the day after
I'll have a crack at it and send you something, or you can send me
the project and I'll try and fix it.
However, I guess there's something we must be missing or doing
wrong, judging by the fact that Apple has been able to make
Spotlight plugins, as well as third-party developers (such as
OmniGroup)... I wonder if any of those people can provide any tips?
Heh, I just realised you work for TLAF - I was talking to Mat a
couple of weeks ago about possible employment, damn it's a small
world.
Indeed I do. :) I thought your name rang a bell. I actually go to
UNSW (although I'm not a CSE student), so I guess it's an even
smaller world than you thought!
what course do you do? as if anyone wouldn't chose CSE! :p
cheers,
Tom
Jeremy.
