Today I’m announcing some code that has actually been on my public subversion repository for some time. The Spotlight Importer Collection is a set of three Spotlight Importers.
The first importer is “Toxic Configuration Importer”. This imports most plain-text based unix config files and Mac OS X plist files.
The second importer is “Toxic Logfile Importer”. This imports all “.log” files as plain text. You can use Smart Folders to monitor your log files from the Finder. Beware that this is can be very expensive (log files are updated a lot).
The final importer is “Toxic URL Importer”, this code imports URL clippings. These are the files you get when dragging a URL from an application to the Finder. This is probably the most useful importer of the three and I’ll be making a follow-up post just for this importer later.
