Ok, sounds like it is worth trying to add the Info.plist UTI stuff to this release.

I don't quite get it. Sure - Spotlight searches not only filenames but file contents for your search terms, so it would pull up "Theory and Techniques of Electronic Music"'s PDF if you searched for "Fourier", for example (since a PDF Spotlight importer is built in to OS X). So, with the Pd file importer, it will pull up not only "I01.Fourier.analysis.pd", but "I02.Hann.window.pd", "I03.resynthesis.pd", etc. as well, since they contain the word "Fourier" in their comments.* It also works with objects, so you can find every patch containing "fiddle~". And, as I mentioned, you can use it to implement, e.g. a "TODO/FIXME" tracker by creating a smart folder (aka saved search) that searches for Pd files containing those words. *It will only find files if they're outside of the Pd bundle, so I guess that's a drawback (but I'll see if I can find a way to force it to search within the bundle) Cheers Luke (and by the way, this is a common practice lest you think I'm doing something nutty : ); Apple includes source code importers for c, obj-c, ruby, python etc when you install XCode, and most OS X apps with a custom file format include a Spotlight importer. The next step would be to add real Quick Look support to show a preview of the patch's appearance as the icon and QL view (right now it just shows the plaintext version of the pd file).

One more thing I forgot to mention, it's too late to include the spotlight importer into this release, but I did make the Makefile create the Library/Spotlight directory, to make it a bit easier to manually install it. Once we set up the 0.41-extended builds, it can be included there. .hc On Jun 19, 2008, at 2:10 PM, Luke Iannini wrote: > Hi all, > Here's a Spotlight importer for Pd (and AFAIK .pat) files. > > Starting with tonight or tomorrow's autobuild, installing it (just > double-click it) will let Spotlight look inside your Pd patches. > Also, a beneficial side-effect of a necessary change to Pd-extended's > bundle means that Pd-patches are now Quick Look-enabled (don't get > /too/ excited, it is only the plaintext representation, but still > extremely handy).

Re: [PD] Spotlight Importer for OS X
Does this work at all on 10.4/Tiger? As for building it, how do you build it yourself? That's usually a good starting point for adding it to the auto-build. If it is an xcode project, you can use the command line tool xcodebuild. Also, it seems that .pat should have a separate entry, something like this: UTTypeConformsTo public.plain-text UTTypeIdentifier org.puredata.max-patch UTTypeTagSpecification public.filename-extension pat .hc On Jun 19, 2008, at 2:10 PM, Luke Iannini wrote: > Hi all, > Here's a Spotlight importer for Pd (and AFAIK .pat) files. > > Starting with tonight or tomorrow's autobuild, installing it (just > double-click it) will let Spotlight look inside your Pd patches. > Also, a beneficial side-effect of a necessary change to Pd-extended's > bundle means that Pd-patches are now Quick Look-enabled (don't get > /too/ excited, it is only the plaintext representation, but still > extremely handy).
