That's what I would have expected. But anyway, I've set it to build 64bit binaries for release now.That’s certainly a good thing to do. If the importer doesn’t use any code that has problems with 64bit, that’s great.
I think 64 bit also avoids additional overhead, especially for Quick Look. But at least they did add that fallback for 32 bit plugins.
Just opening a file is not a good idea, because it's a relatively slowprocess. We don't do that deliberately. And this is a rare situation, so also not pressing. It's usually a bad idea to always do something unnecessary just to work around a very rare situation.I know that doing a complete consistency check is a pain and may consume a lot of resources. But for the case of completely deleted caches (which I guess is the one that happens in practice rather than the user maliciously fiddling around with single files), there may be a cheap heuristic (check whether the file for the first publication is present and only do the complete check if it isn’t).
Consistency checking was not worth the overhead, so it blindly writes all of them the first time you save. As Christiaan indicated, building the spotlight cache can cause a beachball on an older/single core machine, which is why it happens at save time when that's not totally unexpected.
As there seem quite a few cache cleaning tools around and Time Machine doesn’t preserve metadata in caches either, I am not sure how rare a loss of Spotlight metadata is.
In Apple's case, it seems lame to delete all cache files, regardless of whether the frameworks created them. I can see deleting WebKit caches, but not deleting Library/Caches/Metadata/*, since that's reserved for Spotlight usage.
