I would recommend TagoMan — open meta based and fully AppleScriptable

Hi Benko,

First: sorry for replying so late; I was on holiday abroad for 3 weeks with no steady access to a computer.

You’re absolutely right — I, the big dum-dum that I am, forgot to add the feature of installing the Spotlight importer for OpenMeta tags (which is needed in order to enable this feature of searching for tags with queries like “tag:todo”) into Tagger (this importer was installed on my development machine already, so I didn’t have this problem myself and thus failed to notice that it was indeed missing).

Please download the latest version of Tagger (v0.8.2) and run it — it should automatically notice that you don’t have this importer installed and offer to install it for you. You can also invoke this installation from the menu whenever you want.

Hello,

Thanks for your work.
Unfortunately, Tagger 0.81 doesn’t seem to work for me.
It works well to put tags on files… but the search with spotlight doesn’t find anything…

Is there any special things to do ??

Please help

The latest version of Tagger (0.7) now uses OpenMeta.

Hi Pate,

I just created a hidden folder, added a file into it and tried to open the file with Tagger. It works for me, both by selecting the file in Finder and launching Tagger via a global shortcut as well as dragging and dropping the file on top of Tagger’s icon. I tried both methods of hiding a folder — prepending its name with a dot (.) and setting the HFS+ invisible bit. In both cases it worked fine for me. Are you using the latest version?

I still love tagger after testing it the last weeks.
BUT it would be great if it’d allow me to tag files that are in a hidden folder.

I navigate via a shortcut to my hidden folder, but trying to tag the files inside it via tagger doesn’t work.

Hi Ali.
Thanks for your reply. I didn’t know anything about that controversy. Really sad that Apple don’t support Openmeta. But maybe it comes in 10.6, implemented by Apple. ;)

Hi Pate,

Thanks for the bug report. I’ve just uploaded v0.6.1 onto the server — the issue you’ve described should be fixed there. Let me know if you have any further problems.

Also, there seems to be some sort of problem in WordPress with the commenting, sorry about that. I’m having trouble getting this comment posted myself!

This only happens when triggered via Launchbar. When I drag and drop (or use launchbars open with feature ?+D) it works as supposed.

@myname: here’s a summary on openmeta: http://tr.im/heBT

PS: I couldn’t send this ‘post’ in the blog via yesterday (hadn’t the nerves to test other browsers) – this time I tested it all Firefox, Camino, with and without TextExpander. BUT it simply that theres a limited wordcount. :[

Cheers,
Patte

Only Tagger (I knew it in an instand when I was clicking the submit form button that I should have mentioned that up first).

The error message is:

Could not get file to tag. Tag a file by either dropping it on top of Tagger or selecting it in Finder and then launching Tagger.
