do i actually recall someone saying this would happen, especially for indesign files? or did i just want it so bad as to convince myself that it was true?

    It ought to be in CS2 if Adobe were any good but I think third parties are providing support at the moment. I've got no idea as to Adobe's plans - it would be useful for Illustrator but it's complicated as once you expand text it's technically an image so wouldn't show up in spotlight. It's only really useful in GoLive - which works as it's HTML and inDesign.

    God I hope so.



    If Adobe were truly a partner with Apple, this would of been done by now.



    I hope Adobe doesn't become the next Quark.

    They would also have made a killer photoshop using CoreImage but they haven't. Remember it was Adobe who stated on their web-site you would be better off with a Dell than a Mac - they're not particularly Apple friendly.



    Apple did respond that the tests they run were slower on both machines than Final Cut - which was amusing!

    spotlight already indexes text in photoshop files by default, but that's aaple's doing (just like preview's been able to open psd files for a while).



    i just need spotlight to see into indesign files and old quark files so i can find old articles we've used.

    Adobe, MS and Macromedia are the main reasons for CARBON. Their clout slowed down the adoption of COCOA.



    Adobe will never port to Cocoa. They've had 7 years and counting to do so.



    With ObjC++ you'd think they'd do it, but nope.
