Applescript mdimporter - beta testers needed

Greetings everyone. I’ve been working on and off for a while now on an applescript mdimporter (aka an applescript spotlight plugin). Most of the approaches I’ve used were pretty clumsy and had unpleasant side effects. I believe that I’ve come up with a functional system that is almost completely transparent and allows the searching of all applescript scripts (.scpt) indexed by spotlight.

What I am looking for is a handful of volunteers that can install the importer and do some basic testing and observation.

Minimum requirements:
OSX 10.5

  • The importer and helper app use code and frameworks that are leopard-only.

Comfortable using Terminal or executing shell commands

  • After installing the plugin, you need to issue a command which forces all indexed scripts to be reindexed using the new importer. There is only one command to enter, and it is discussed in the included readme file.

A little free time

  • Once the files are reindexed, you should be able to search all scripts visible to spotlight by contents. I would ask that you do some test searches to find out if the importer is actually indexing your files’ contents.

If you are interested in testing this software, please contact me via email at jobu10000(a)yahoo.com.

Thanks…
