Great work! A couple of issues:
(1) I get various errors while processing /usr/local/tetex - see
below. These may be problems with files rather than the importer - I
am unsure.
(2) Am I right in presuming that if I want to use these to process
all bibtex and dvi files in dirs within my home dir, I need `mdimport
-f ~myusername`? Or will this be done automatically?
Errors include various ones like:
2005-05-03 06:23:12.298 mdimport[470] -[FileProcessor
importMetadataFromFileAtPath:] Got exception *** -[NSCFArray
addObject:]: attempt to insert nil for path '/usr/local/teTeX/share/
texmf.tetex/doc/latex/amscls/jr.bib'
and
Expected integer; found `n' instead.
Missing or invalid generation number.
missing or invalid cross-reference stream.
Invalid stream length 547; should be 546.
and
PSSniffer error: No such file or directory
Best wishes
