I'm writing a spotlight plugin to grab the metadata from the data files
that my application uses. The files are unique to my application so I
am exporting a new universal type identifier. Everything appears to be
working, the metadata gets stored and is indexed and I've successfully
queried it in multiple ways.
My problem lies in getting finder's spotlight search to filter on this
new file type. Basically when you start the search in finder, you can
click that little plus button and attempt to search "kinds" of files.
If you specify "Other kinds" it populates a pull-down list of all sorts
of file types that have associations with applications on my hard
drive. What I would like is for my new file type to show up there as
well. Besides declaring my UTI is there anything else necessary?
One other thing, I've kind of developed this iteratively and I was
wondering if I may have mucked with the application types to the point
where something is overriding my attempted changes. Is there a nice
way to be sure I've reset things (besides like reinstalling the OS)?
I appreciate any help and can provide more information if necessary.
I apologize if anyone has gotten this twice, I also posted this on
carbon-dev.
