In the posted documentation, it states that the importers need to be
placed in ~/Library/MDImporters or /Library/MDImporters. This means
that when you distribute an application you need to either:
a) include an installer of some type to put the importer into place, or
b) get the user to drag the application to the Applications folder and
drag the importer to the MDImporters folder
This means that the simple disk image with the application in it, and
the single step install will be a thing of the past.
What I was wondering is whether it would be possible to get the Finder
to also look inside application wrappers to find the importer bundles
and register them at the same time as the system picks up the presence
of the application itself. This would allow us to keep the simple
"Application contains everything you need" model.
Are there any downsides to this suggestion that I'm missing?
