10.4: Use some iView Media Pro data in Spotlight
Spotlight grabs IPTC/XMP metadata for me. I'm not sure which one, or if it gets both, because I use Graphic Converter to tag my images, and by default it tags them with both XMP and IPTC metadata (at least I think that's what it does). Spotlight definitely includes this data in its database.

You can also use the Sync Annotations command in Action menu to copy metadata from within IVMP directly to the selected files from directly within the program.

That's the problem, only certain fields will be indexed. But Location data e.g. won't be indexed, as many more.

spotlight isn't indexing encrypted volumes
anyone know why spotlight doesn't pick up the keywords from an encrypted volume? even tho the volume is open, it doesn't appear to keep any spotlight indexing... I use iview to put keywords in about 120,000 photos but spotlight won't do the search as outlined above for keywords, it will only search on file name and date info. |
