Yes, it's configured by default to work with both 10.4 and 10.5.
Any idea whether it would cause problems on 10.3? That's not a make-
or-break thing, but it would be nice if it could still work on 10.3.
As for including the Info.plist changes in v0-40, it would need to be
throughly tested before including it. Currently, there are only a
couple outstanding bugs that need to be fixed for this release
(AFAIK), so I am really hesitant to include something totally new.
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.
Yo, I just built in with the build button : ). I like buttons... So yea, I have the project. Looks like it builds aok with xcodebuild, thanks for the tip. Where should I put the project folder?
Good question. The first place I thought of is packages/darwin_app
since it is only for things related to the Pd.app for Mac OS X. Maybe:
packages/darwin_app/spotlight_importer
Then it probalby makes sense to make a separate 'spotlight_importer:'
target in packages/darwin_app/Makefile to build and install it.
.hc
Also, it seems that .pat should have a separate entry, something like this:
<dict> <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key> <string>public.plain-text</string> <key>UTTypeIdentifier</key> <string>org.puredata.max-patch</string> <key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key> <dict> <key>public.filename-extension</key> <array> <string>pat</string> </array> </dict> </dict>Sure, makes sense. I'll do that

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). And after the importer itself gets enveloped by Pd-extended's bundle, it will just work (no installation needed).
This version just indexes the entire text. In the future I could
add specific metadata keys to correspond to "Pure Data Objects", "Pure Data Messages", "Pure Data Comments", and "Pure Data [declares]", which could then be used to construct complex Spotlight queries
(but I just learned enough Obj-C to get this far tonight so give me a
while : ) ).Hans, apparently placing it in Pd-extended.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight will make it magically start working the first time Pd is dragged out of its .dmg. I don't have a clue about building this dynamically in the autobuilds, but since it is a Universal Binary and OS X only is it cool to add statically?
enjoy Luke
(by the way, you'll know you have the right Pd-extended when running "mdls -name kMDItemContentType a-patch.pd" gives "org.puredata.pd-patch" rather than "dyn.ah62d4rv4ge81a3a" or similar) <PureData.mdimporter.zip>___________________________________________ __ __ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ listinfo/pd-list
