I would like to extend apples spotlight importer for images to index
additional metadata. Does anyone know how to do this (I know it's
possible since it's been done in SpotMeta) or if cascading metadata
importers will become possible in future os x releases? Even though
it's doeable, it seems unnecessary to have to re-implement the entire
image importer just to index a few extra exif tags that aren't indexed
by the default importer (which is what I'd like to do).
That's not supported as of 10.4. You can only have one importer per
type. The only way I know of is SpotMeta, but I don't know how the
author did it. I guess he's patching something and wrote some code to
have one importer manually find and call through to the other
importer. If you're interested in taking that approach, I'd suggest
you try the Spotlight-Dev mailing list, because it's very likely the
Spotmeta author and other knowledgeable people hang out there and can
help you get it working.
