 MetaData.osax 

Type:

Scripting Addition

Version: 1.0.8

Suitable for Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.5

Description:

MetaData.osax is an AppleScript implementation of some of the facilities available in the Metadata framework on Mac OS X. Metadata framework technologies are familiar to most users through the Spotlight search utility.

MetaData.osax provides commands to report information about file system objects (roughly equivalent to the command line tool mdls) and to query the Metadata database for objects (roughly similar to mdfind).

Instructions and examples are available in the download.

Version Notes:

Version 1.0.8 implements changes necessary for Mac OS X 10.5 while retaining compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4. Contains updated installation information. Required for all Leopard users.

Version 1.0.4 changes the return value of the md query command to create an empty list instead of generating an error when no items specified by the query expression are found.
