Hi!
Apple defines a list of common metadata attributes (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/MetadataAttributesRef/index.html). They leave it to the developers of Spotlight importers to define custom attributes as needed.
Is it possible to query the Spotlight server for a list of defined (or actually used) attributes and their definition?
I.e. While I know the 'kMDItemAuthors' attribute exists, a third-party program may have defined a 'photographer' attribute that I could query too. The trouble is finding which attributes exists and what acceptable values are.
TIA
