10.4: Watch for lost Spotlight comments with file renamers
Authored by: karlheinz on May 25, '05 12:00:06PM
Did you (in the Terminal) try
mdls filename | grep FinderComment
?

I noticed that the Get-Info dialog doesn't display the Spotlight Comment I had entered some time ago ... but the information is still there - in the kMDItemFinderComment field.
And if I make a SmartFolder and let it search the SpotlightComment field it DOES find the file(s) - although the file doesn't seem to have a SL comment.
