I am looking for ways to add metadata to external files using Spotlight - video files in particular from within Revolution. I think it would be very useful if the stack indexing suggestions was extended to standard Apple file formats or to any file format with an existing system level spotlight metadata plugin (you'd need to know or parse the plist structure).

In the meantime I'm looking to use AppleScript or the command line tools - but not got anything working yet - any ideas?


If you use "Get Info", on a file, you will see a section at the top called "Spotlight comments". Anything typed into this box gets added to the Spotlight index. You can edit this text using AppleScript, here's an example.

tell application "Finder"
    set tFile to choose file
    set the comment of file tFile to "Index me!"
end tell

HTH,
Sarah
