[OS X TeX] status of Spotlight indexing of .tex files?

[Norm Gall]

Sorry. I hadn't yet finished my morning coffee.

It is clear to me that the importer facilities in Tiger are still  
pretty rough. There should be a straight-forward way of resetting the  
importer look-up tables.

I think Adam is right: wait for it. There is something goofy about  
the way in which the importer list updates itself. Perhaps you have  
in the past installed an importer that is interfering.

Last try:

What is the output for mdimport -L?
