Hmm, I generally try to make things as backwards compatible as possible. I set the deployment target for this project to OS X 10.6, and tested it in a virtual machine running OS X 10.6 and it seemed to work OK. I will do some additional testing to see if I can reproduce the issue here (I do have a copy of every version of OS X going back to OS X 10.5, so it shouldn't be too difficult). Will let you know.

Oh, NSGod, thanks for that, I'll immolate a cow to you. Btw, which SDK did you use?

from ichm.

NSGod avatar NSGod commented on July 22, 2024

I used the OS X 10.11 SDK from within Yosemite (OS X 10.10).

OK, can you do a couple of tests for me?

In Terminal.app, run the following command and paste the results in a response:

mdimport -L

Note that unfortunately, just by placing iChm.app version 1.5 with the Spotlight importer, your current .chm documents won't be searchable, at least in my experience. You can either run the following command in Terminal (which I may build in automatically to the next version):

mdimport -r /Applications/iChm.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/CHM.mdimporter

(Note that this assumes you have iChm.app installed in your /Applications/ folder, if it's located elsewhere, adjust the path accordingly).

That will tell Spotlight to reindex existing .chm files.

Otherwise, you can use touch on existing individual .chm files, which will force Spotlight to wake up and process that file.

By doing either of those 2 things here in my 10.6 test machine, I am able to have the spotlight indexing work properly.

mdimport sees the plugin at

/Applications/iChm.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/CHM.mdimporter

I run the command posted by you, but it doesn't index chm files. That means, for example, that if I search for the author of a chm book, Spotlight won't find it.

I even dragged a folder full of chm books to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy and deleted it there to force re-indexing, to no avail.

I also checked Apple's documentation to troubleshoot importers.

I read about problems arising when targeting an older system with a newer SDK. Do you have 10.6 SDK to compile against?

"I read about problems arising when targeting an older system with a newer SDK..."

If you know how to do things properly, it shouldn't cause any problems. (For example, if you blindly try to use some functionality that was introduced in OS X 10.10, when running the app on a user who only has OS X 10.6, it could crash. But nothing like that should be happening, as I've made sure I don't do anything like that). The problems that do occur are usually quite obvious, and usually result in a crash.

The first section of Console logs you've posted aren't coming from iChm.app:

First off, you'll notice quicklookd32, that means you have a 32 bit CHM QuickLook plugin somewhere on your system, and for whatever reason, it's logging something having to do with a CHM Spotlight Importer that's different than the one included in iChm. The Spotlight plugin I've included in iChm is named CHM.mdimporter, while the paths logged in the console are CHM Metadata Importer.mdimporter. Also, the lines like "... /SharedSupport/chm/chmlib.py" are Python scripts and Python bytecode files which iChm doesn't use.

The logging in the second section is from iChm and is all normal.

It looks like there are probably multiple CHM Spotlight Importers and/or CHM QuickLook plugins that are conflicting with each other. I've tried to locate a copy of the CHM Metadata Importer.mdimporter Spotlight plugin for testing, but Google searches turned up nothing.

I have a large update that's almost finished that adds a QuickLook Generator, and in which the Spotlight importer will log the paths of each file that's being indexed to the Console.

To help troubleshoot, I really need the full output from the following commands in Terminal:

mdimport -L
and

qlmanage -m

I have since restored things back and deleted unnecessary plugins, but I'd be willing to try the update. Please, do post in here when it's available and I'll be happy to test it.
