Running mdimport with -d4 or -d3 or -d2 doesn't report any errors. I
only have one copy of importer on my machine which is part of the
application bundle.
Strangely enough, if I do a reboot, and then save files through my
application, Spotlight finds them.
Since I'm in development mode, I have to keep rebooting each time I
recompile my code... as it stops working on each new compile.
I'm sure others have come across this issue.

run mdimport with the -d4 option to see what's happening, the
reasons the import does not work are *very* numerous (several
importer with the same UTIs is the biggest bug in Spotlight IMO,
but there are many other)
read the output of mdimport carefully sometimes small error are
reported !

I've written a Spotlight plugin for my application but none of my
application files get indexed by Spotlight.
I have to MANUALLY run mdimport on my application files before
Spotlight can see them. The fact that mdimport does the trick
tells me that my plugin is working.
But I don't understand why I have run mdimport manually to get it
to work.
Metadata files created by my application are written to ~/Library/
Caches/Metadata/myApp directory.
There must be something I'm not doing right. Any ideas?
