Sorry, I didn't realize this from the original post & started that discussion. > Also speaking from an academic standpoint, I wonder if users of Apple > X-Serves get any of that kind of functionality to play with (or will > in the near future). Apple discusses Tiger and Tiger server interchangeably, much of the time (as they did with the prior versions). Since Spotlight is part of the core OS and file system, it suspect that it will be part of both OS X and OS X server... > As a photographer who deals with metadata regularly, I can appreciate > the value of robust system-level support for it. Yes, many feel that the major new Feature of OS X Tiger is the Spotlight content/metadata search capability. Steve Jobs said it will change the way you use your computer.... I t already has for the millions using iTunes (it contains a limited subset of content/metadata search for mp3 (and other) audio files). Many (including myself) think it will also change the way we write web and desktop applications. > Thanks to everyone who posted with ideas and suggestions, especially > James, whose help was invaluable. Yes, the Java class solution was enlightening. I never say an answer tho: Are you able to edit/change the metadata with the Java classes? TIA Dick > Regards, > Warren L.
