Filesystem metadata issue
Authored by: miggins on Jan 20, '02 11:06:04PM
This problem was caused by Apple's recent decision to stop using some forms of filesystem meta data, like HFS type and creator codes. If Mac OS X was simply intelligent enough to use whatever form of meta data is available on any given filesystem, then problems like this would just simply not happen. See the Mac OS X meta data petition for more information, and perhaps to get Apple to make Mac OS X more intelligent rather than less so. http://www.petitiononline.com/osxmd/

Filesystem metadata issue
Authored by: robh on Jan 21, '02 06:19:00AM

Since other apps, e.g. GraphicConverter, Photoshop, Preview, etc can import iPhoto jpegs, it seems to me that the problem is with iMovie's import mechanism. I assume that iMovie relies on missing metadata.

This could be an argument against metadata over-reliance.
