Spotlight while running windows modal

Hi all,

I'm trying to cancel a modal NSAlert when Spotlight determines a file exists in the file system. I create and start the NSMetadataQuery before I run the alert modal. However I do not receive notifications of changes to my metadata query while my application is running modal.

The docs indicate NSMetadataQuery and MDQuery operate on particular modes of an application's run loop however I am required to run the NSAlert modal.

I used an NSAlert with a modal session but that produced strange results. These results did not include the observer receiving the appropriate notifications for changes to my metadata query.

Is there some way I can have the best of both worlds?

Thanks in advance,

Kiel
