[OS X TeX] TeX Spotlight plugin

[Simon Spiegel]

I'm chiming in late here, but this doesn't seem to work here. I installed the new importer, I updated TeXShop, I made sure that no other importer is around. I tried both /Library/Spotlight and ~/Library/Spotlight, I tried mdimport -r ~/Library/Spotlight/TeX.mdimporter, I logged out and in again. Still, my .tex files seem only to get imported by the Rich Text Importer (they're mostly UTF8).

2013-05-23 09:35:46.425 mdimport[300:707] Imported '/Users/simi/Dropbox/Todorov/Kapitel/faustus.tex' of type 'edu.uo.texshop.tex' with plugIn /System/Library/Spotlight/RichText.mdimporter.
2013-05-23 09:35:46.429 mdimport[300:707] Attributes: {
    ":MD:kMDExtendedImportDictionary" =     {
    };
    "_kMDItemFinderLabel" = 0;
    "_kMDItemStaticInterestScore" = "0.5";
    "_kMDItemTextEncodingHint" = 134217984;
    "com_apple_metadata_modtime" = 313019140;
    kMDItemContentCreationDate = "2010-12-02 21:45:40 +0000";
    kMDItemContentModificationDate = "2010-12-02 21:45:40 +0000";
    kMDItemContentType = "edu.uo.texshop.tex";
    kMDItemContentTypeTree =     (
        "edu.uo.texshop.tex",
        "public.text",
        "public.data",
        "public.item",
        "public.content",
        "public.plain-text"
    );
    kMDItemDateAdded = "2013-03-20 19:08:16 +0000";
    kMDItemDisplayName =     {
        "" = "faustus.tex";
    };
    kMDItemKind =     {
        "" = "TeX File";
        en = "TeX File";
    };
    kMDItemLogicalSize = 14001;
    kMDItemPhysicalSize = 16384;
    kMDItemTextContent = 

Any ideas?

TIA
