SpotlightIndexer for Mac0.2.2b

It seems Safari mistakenly downloads the file as a .dmg.bz2 file, rather than just a .dmg file. This means that when you try to open it, the contents get hashed up by the unpacking process. If you simply rename a Safari download to .dmg before opening, it opens fine. The possibility is that the server the file has been hosted on, is configured to identify .dmg files as .bz2 in the MIME information. This would cause Safari to dutifully mark the file with the .bz2 file extension.

Okay, I ran the chron scripts, cleaned user caches, repaired disc permissions, restarted and still get a message the dmg has no usable files. Drat. Running 10.4.9 on a MacBook Pro.

I've downlooaded this three times and each time get a message saying the file has no mountable disk!

Fantastic news - thanks you very much!!

Fantasicto! I can finally really search my whole drive with Spotlight.

Perhaps I don't get the hype, but this seems like a click n drool version of "mdimport -f". Apple has had the functionality there throughout Tiger, not exposing this to the GUI probably keeps the average computer user from doing things that would otherwise cause Spotlight to lag (more than it already does) without advantage (to said user).

I'm so happy I find this utility. I was swearing about Spotlight before because it could't find but one tenth of the files I have on my HD, so it was totaly useless for me. After running this, I can find anything. Thanks very much for this.

This app is great! Now I truly can find any file on my hard drive without frustration! This cool utility lets you break through the limitations Apple has put on it's innovative system-wide search function, so can have full control of your Spotlight searches!
