I have a set of file in a directory that I wish to index. In  
2.0, I modified the ftypes file to describe how these files  
look, and which command to invoke to get the correct description  
line into the index.

In 3.0, this all changed. I now have setup the .index.ftypes  
file correctly (I can see that DL knows the file types because  
when I use ixbuild it displays the file types of each of the  
files it is reading). However, the command fileType-desc command  
isn't called and the description for each file winds up empty.

Has anyone figured out how to do this correctly?

	YEP!  Create a service description file (i.e., <file>.service)
under ~/Library/Services with the following information. Replace the <TEXTs>
as needed.  Run "make_services" from Terminal and then use ixbuild -g (note:
DO NOT USE Librarian TO CREATE YOUR INDEX SINCE IT DOES NOT USE THE -g
OPTION: see ixbuild(1))

Filter:
Port: NXUNIXSTDIO
Send Type: NXTypedFilenamePboardType:<YOUR_FILE_TYPE_GOES_HERE>
Return Type: IXFileDescriptionPboardType
Executable: <YOUR_EXECUTABLE_GOES_HERE>
