Does this work at all on 10.4/Tiger?
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.
According to this http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1406.html the public.plain-text UTI we're using existed in 10.3. Also, this seems to be a transitional document for 10.3>10.4, and doesn't include any callouts except: "Note: UTIs are available in Mac OS X v10.3 Panther and later. Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger added many new types and integrated support throughout the operating system."
So I think it won't be a problem for the keys in the plist, and in the future, 10.3 should just ignore the Library/Spotlight/PureData.mdimporter file just as it would ignore any other file it didn't recognize in the bundle.
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.

Will do. Cheers Luke
