NSMetadataItem question.

Subject: NSMetadataItem question.
From: Josh Morris <email@hidden>

Hello all,

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is the kMDItemID metadata attribute always unique, even across all volumes?

I heard that Spotlight gathers metadata on a per-volume basis, and since it seems likely that kMDItemID is just a ROWID in a database (or similar), I'm concerned that I might run into duplicate item id's across different volumes. This would be bad news for my program, as it depends on kMDItemID's uniqueness.

Also, if this and other Spotlight questions would be better handled on some other list that I don't know about, please let me know. Thanks!
