[OS X TeX] Spotlight

[Eric van der Oord]

Hi all,

I use TexLive 2010-64 and TeXShop 3.16.

Here is what I get :

[new-host-9:~] ericvand% mdimport -d3  /Users/ericvand/Dropbox/Trav-Ret/Analyse-1/2012/Ana1-v9c/Ch1-S1c.tex

        "public.content",
        "public.plain-text"
    );

    kMDItemDisplayName =     {
        "" = "Ch1-S1c.tex";
    };
    kMDItemKind =     {
        "" = "TeX File";
        en = "TeX File";
    };
    kMDItemLogicalSize = 56118;
    kMDItemPhysicalSize = 57344;
}

I see the words 'Error', 'Bad', 'Wrong'... Is this serious or a formal complain ?

Best Regards

Eric
