Some of the picture in my iPhoto are not showing in Spotlight. Someone posted a tip that mdimport -f ~/Pictures command should reindex the Pictures folder. I am not familiar with Terminal so I don't want to run this command. I wanted to ask if this command safe to run? Will it reindex my Pictures folder?

Thanks

Yes, that's safe, and yes, it might solve your problem.

OK, thanks. But when I run it after about 30 seconds this text shows up in Terminal

*** Parsing file: '/Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library/AlbumData.xml'
ERROR: syntax error (<key>LastViewedSlideIndex</key>)

What does this mean?
