Hello,
Has anyone made a Spotlight Importer for PD? Or is there another way to index all content of PD files for spotlight searches in home folder for example?
I just want to search a folder where I have many .pd files for content ex. 'bpm' or whatever... for object/expressions/comments in the patch itself. OSX does not seem to index .pd file content OR am I missing something?
thanks! m
Amusingly I did exactly this, and then forgot to tell anybody about it or upload it anywhere, then I reformatted and lost it :P.
It was /extremely/ useful at the time (indexing comments, etc, which I could then take advantage of with impromptu tagging and TODO etc), so I've been planning to do it again. I just followed a tutorial somewhere; if you do some googling for "spotlight importer" "plain text" "source code" or some combination you should pull it up.
I'll do it again if you have any trouble.
Cheers Luke

Hey Luke,
Too bad you lost it! Happens to the best of us!
Was it this xcode tutorial you used?
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/MDImporters/Conce...
I will take a look at this because for me this would be extremely useful. Probably will not get a chance to take a look until next week though.
One thing - if indexing plain-text will it index everything in a patch? can it exclude stuff like "#N canvas 540 610 118 149 10;", "#X obj 8 63", "#X obj 10 64", etc. or does it even matter do you think....
Yeah i was looking into this last night and thought "hey someone on the pd list MUST have done this already"... guess i was right!
cheers m

This sounds super useful! I'd like to include it in Pd-extended if
someone can recreate the work.
