NSMetadataQuery can not be synchronous ?

Hi list !

most of my code is currently using MDQueryRef. I have a crash somewhere in MDQueryExecute() with very few informations. I suspect an Apple bug, but i'm not sure...

Trying to fix my bug, i want to use NSMetadataQuery instead of low level MDQueryRef (because i'm maybe doing something wrong ?)

with MDQueryRef, you can make the query synchronous, i mean block until all results are found, using

if( !MDQueryExecute(outboxQuery,kMDQuerySynchronous)) // /*kMDQueryWantsUpdates if you want asynchronous mode*/

but AFAIK Cocoa's higher level NSMedataQuery API does not offer this choice, it seems that you can only use asynchronous mode !?

am i wrong ? why do Apple limit our possibilities here ?

I know that asynchronous is generally better design, but it depends...

Aurelien
