10.5: Quit iTunes to see file info changes in Front Row
I'm pretty sure it happens as a result of the architecture. All of the inter-application interaction with the media libraries uses the .xml files generated by iphoto, itunes, etc. Inside the iTunes folder, you'll find an itunes library, and an itunes library.xml . Chances are the xml is generated only when itunes quits.

Yes, I'd bet that this is exactly the cause. The XML gets generated from iTunes when iTunes exits, and FrontRow (and other apps) read their info from that XML file.

I believe this is because iTunes writes changes to a temp file and updates the main database on quit.

I think you've got it. This XML file is specifically there so that third party applications can read it, I believe. But iTunes itself uses a binary database that is much more efficient for reading and write, and so the text-based XML file is updated only when quitting. Shame that there is no public API a la Address Book. |
