Hi !
the more i play with Spotlight importers the more i find Spotlight is
not "ready for production". Let me explain my problem :
i've made an importer in 6 hours that works beautifully, thanks to
Apple.
I have 2 versions of my application (an Express version (Light) and a
Pro version), both embed the importer.
today i've noticed that spotlight does not index/import my files
correctly, i then run mdimport in debug mode (mdimport -d4) and found
interesting debug message :
Plugin 'Spotlight/OD4ContactTaskImporter.mdimporter/ -- /Volumes/Data/
Users/aure/Sources/GumiContactV2.0/build/OD4Contact.app/Contents/
Library/' UUID already claimed by 'Spotlight/
OD4ContactTaskImporter.mdimporter/ -- /Volumes/Data/Users/aure/
Sources/GumiContactV2.0/build/OD4ContactLight.app/Contents/Library/'
2005-05-09 16:21:48.543 mdimport[16830] CFLog (22): Cannot find
factory BC1F2817-5328-4444-AC61-1B830F50F614
it means that the same importer MUST be located ONCE on the computer,
or both will stop working !!!!
i must say that it is a critical bug to me : most of my users, that
carefully backup their app on their iPod or on another folder will
eventually have several versions of my importer... and none of them
will work !
did i miss something ? or did Apple took several years to design
Spotlight, but forget basic concepts ?
