Slow Xcode indexing fix

I've seen a couple of allusions lately to the issue of how long it takes for Xcode to reindex a project; for example, if you end up dealing with an Xcode problem by removing your project's build directory.

I just thought I'd make sure everyone knew about "Xcode Index Templates", which can dramatically reduce the index rebuild time. Read this (on your Mac OS X machine where Xcode is installed - I dunno where it might be on Windows):

/Developer/Extras/Xcode\ Index\ Templates/Index\ Templates\ ReadMe.rtf

Then do this:

   cd /Developer/Extras/Xcode Index Templates
   ./install_templates

This will index a set of "index templates" (found in that same dir), and place those indexes in your
~/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Index Templates
directory (which it will create). It will also set "PBXCodeSenseEnableIndexTemplates = YES" in your defaults db, indicating to Xcode that it should look for these "pre-cooked" indexes at that location (instead of reindexing all the various classes from all the frameworks referenced by your new project). The result is that the initial indexes for projects will be created very quickly.


Be patient... it'll take quite a while to index all the index templates for the various project types that they have there.
