ChemSpotlight is a Spotlight metadata importer plugin for Mac OS X which reads common chemical file formats
ChemSpotlight 2.0 README
ChemSpotlight is a Spotlight metadata importer plugin for Mac OS X 10.4 or later, which reads common chemical file formats (MDL .mol, .mdl, .sd, .sdf, Tripos .mol2, PDB, Chemical Markup Language, XYZ), etc. using the Open Babel chemistry library. It is provided as a Universal Binary.
It expects the Open Babel 2.3 chemistry library (including headers) to be installed into /usr/local/lib which should be the default when you compile from source yourself or install from the ChemSpotlight package.
The main metadata importer code is in GetMetadataForFile.mm -- an Objective-C++ file. (It resembles fairly standard C++ code with the exception of some Apple CoreFoundation code to interface with Spotlight.)
