Spotlight still depend on the importers (with .imdimporter extension) of the file to extract the metadata. For instance, to extract full metadata for ODF documents and MS office, NeoLight importer needs to be installed in /Library/Spotlight folder. <br />By default Spotlight only index those files that it understands and if it does not understand, it will just provide the basic metadata of the file. This basic metadata will work cross-platform.<br /><br />I written blog post of using Spotlight to implement MAC watcher: http://lindaocta.com/?p=126 but this implementation still need to be considered.<br /><br /><br />Linda OctaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446362035242548471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746807651848493410.post-50875460890833430562009-06-15T00:12:39.956+01:002009-06-15T00:12:39.956+01:00The metadata filesystem (ie the extended attribute...The metadata filesystem (ie the extended attributes) will work for Linux and probably windows in some form. Almost everyone does it, it's just that few applications use it.Leslie Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951479417243623642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746807651848493410.post-27335418205826781292009-06-14T22:31:13.319+01:002009-06-14T22:31:13.319+01:00One of the things we're trying to do is get so...One of the things we're trying to do is get software that will work cross-platform. I don't suppose this metadata file system is available to run elsewhere?<br /><br />See Linda Octalina's post on our Filesystem watcher so far for Linux but she is doing OS X as well and Ron Ward is doing a Windows version: http://lindaocta.com/?p=119<br /><br />BTW I only look like I use OS X - that MacBook I had in Atlanta was running Ubuntu.Peter Seftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434589779730690418noreply@blogger.com
