Hi Bennett,

thanks for making this available -- greatly appreciated and much needed.

I installed it and tried it, but, alas, it doesn't seem to work, not even after logging out and logging in again.

The way I tested it was to think of a word that so far was not on my harddisk, type it into a new LyX document, and save that. Using Spotlight afterwards should have produced a pointer to that file, but did not. When I exported the file in question as ASCII, Spotlight immediately found the word in that file.

Any suggestions on where I might have gone wrong? Here is the output of the mdimport command (in case that is of any help, but it looks normal to me):

nsdhcp209:~ > mdimport -r /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Library/ Spotlight/LyX-Metadata.mdimporter/ 2005-08-30 16:01:53.437 mdimport[4291] Asking server to reimport files with UTIs: ("dyn.ah62d4rv4gk8y8xc3pa", "org.lyx.lyx", "dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8028p2")
nsdhcp209:~ >

By the way, the Spotlight looking glass symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen did not indicate that Spotlight was indexing anything -- I don't know whether it is supposed to, but you seemed to hint at it.

Best wishes, and please let me know if you have an idea how to fix this,

Andreas
