I am doing Spotlight searches using the NSMetadataQuery API.
Usually, my search is limited to a specific folder.
Is it possible to make it follow aliases (and symlinks) that might exist in
that folder?
I am especially interested in aliases/symlinks that point to other folders.
Or do I have to find all the symlinks/aliases first, follow them "manually",
then set up a Spotlight search with a list of directories?
Best regards,
Gabriel.
Encl.:
For your reference, the code I use for initiating the Spotlight search is the
following:
query_ = [[NSMetadataQuery alloc] init];
NSPredicate * predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:
@"(kMDItemContentTypeTree = 'public.image') && (kMDItemFSSize > %u) &&
(kMDItemPixelHeight > %u) && (kMDItemPixelWidth > %u)",
excludekB_ * 1024, excludeSize_, excludeSize_ ];
[query_ setSearchScopes: [NSArray arrayWithObject: dir]];
[query_ setPredicate: predicate];
[query_ startQuery];
queryProgressTimer_ = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:
QueryProgressUpdateTime
target: self
selector:
@selector(checkOnQuery:)
userInfo: nil
repeats: YES];
