Hiya, I'm looking for a way to grab the spotlight metadata attributes
of a file via the file's path. That is, I am already in possession of
a url to the local file, and I would like to look up the attributes
associated with that file. Querying spotlight seemed one way to go,
but a caveat comes with the kMDItemPath attribute: "The value of
this attribute can be retrieved, but can't be used in a query or used
to sort search results." Can't be used in a query? That's unfortunate.
Is it possible to get the metadata attributes for a file given the
complete path to that file?
-Phil
