SD, Spotlight, and "Open With"

[donstrack]

That was incredibly easy. Spotlight is considerably faster now (and I mean considerably!).

Onyx told me to repair the drive, which I did with the Install DVD --> Utilities --> Disk Utilities. I then cleared the "LaunchServices" cache. I use a System Preferences plug-in for "Default Apps", and it apparently kept all the file associations.

While I truly do trust SuperDuper!, I'll check tomorrow to see if in my (usually unique) circumstances, the backups were indeed made to unmounted external drives, as Dave says they will. As they say in my business, "Trust, but verify." I'll let you know.

By the way, although Dave was an incredible help, this really is not a SD issue. Is there a better place to ask these types of questions (i.e. tips and tricks for OS X, in this case for Spotlight), without reading all the whining about Leopard. Applecare is plugged up tight with Leopard issues, usually with a 20 minute hold time.
