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.Yes, I consider that a design flaw of Spotlight (which then went on into Time Machine). According to documentation you can also save Metadata for indexing in ~/Library/Metadata which one could hope to be safe from deletion. The text reads as if that should be true for X.4 as well but I don’t have a machine for testing that anymore. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23187
Well, I don't think the search locations were documented yet when I wrote the Spotlight code, and I recall having a lot of trouble getting it to work. I used ~/Library/Caches/Metadata based on a suggestion from one of the Spotlight engineers:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/spotlight-dev/2005/Jun/msg00022.htmlDoes stuff in ~/Library/Metadata get backed up by Time Machine? The difficulty with switching now, though, would be duplicate results...so ~/Library/Caches/Metadata would have to be cleared out when saving.
