Title: Re: Add metadata to my files for Spotlight
Hi,
thank you. I will try to find the way to turn off the indexing when backing up.
I didn’t think about that. Thanks. I hope that after the backup, when I turn the indexing on again, the new destination files will be indexed too.
And yes, of course, as written in the docs all the developer should try to speed up their importers. But I guess that
many lazy developers will read the whole file... (“ah just for few KB....”).
I meant that using a Cocoa API this procedure could be standardized.
Anyway, forget. It’s everything ok now. Thanks.
Best Regards

the solution there is for backup software to turn indexing off on the target volume.
also, the specific example (how it gets metadata) is rather contrived. your application (and this is in the docs) should try and partition metadata so that it can be read fast without having to load the entire file.

Since the indexing occurs at any time a file is created or copied or
duplicated, I think about what could happen during a backup.
If spotlight creates an index at any file-copy and the importer reads the
whole file with dictionaryWithContentsOfFile, in case of large files this
should slow down the backup time dramatically...
