Version 1.2.5

Download
May 21, 2010
Changelog:
- Added hacky (but mostly working) support for tagging websites via Chrome and Chromium. (note: this is very experimental and relies on scripting generic GUI elements since Chrome and Chromium don't have AppleScript dictionaries yet. it might fail to work at times.)
- Fixed a bug where
.webloc
files that didn't have any tags were sometimes not deleted.
Version 1.2.4

May 16, 2010
Changelog:
- Fixed the broken support for tagging websites via Opera (the built-in AppleScripts didn't work for the latest version, 10.53).
- Improved the GUI elements when installing updates (the default Sparkle progress bar window that was shown under the main window has been replaced by a progress bar in the main window itself.)

April 27, 2010
Changelog:
- Improved the UI elements used when checking for updates to the app (the progress bar and info label will now be shown in the main app window instead of in a separate dialog under the main window).

March 24, 2010
Changelog:
- The logic for matching web links (URLs) to the corresponding
.webloc
files has been improved. Now if you for example tag a web page and then later, when the page's title has changed, try to tag that same site, Tagger will find the correct .webloc
file and show the tags you previously added.
Version 1.2

Download
March 24, 2010
Changelog:
- NOTE: You need to install this version manually by downloading the update archive from Tagger's website because the current version of the app is missing the public key for checking the validity of Sparkle updates (if you try to install this update through the update mechanism in the Tagger application, it'll complain about an invalid update). Sorry about the inconvenience — this update should fix the problem.
- Front Application Scripts can now specify web locations (i.e. URLs and corresponding titles) to be tagged instead of just files. (See the documentation for more info.)

December 05, 2009
Changelog:
- Tagger now uses Sparkle for automatic updates. This way you won't have to perform updates manually anymore.
- The preference for enabling the front application scripts feature is gone; this feature is now always on.

November 28, 2009
Changelog:

November 26, 2009
Changelog:
- A simple management interface has been added for front applications scripts, through which you can now easily uninstall existing scripts, and more importantly browse and install new ones from an online repository (there are only two scripts at the moment, though). This can be found via the menu: Tagger → Manage Front Application Scripts...

November 23, 2009

- Fixed bug where the front application icon was shown on top of the file thumbnail/icon even when Tagger hadn't gotten the file(s) from the front application.
- Improved the user interface for adding new front application scripts a bit.
Version 1.0

Download
November 23, 2009
Changelog:
- Added the front application scripts feature which makes it possible to add support for tagging the selected files in any AppleScript-supporting application by writing scripts for them and adding these scripts to tagger as front application scripts. (Thanks to Jonathan Austin for suggesting this feature.)
- If Tagger has gotten the files to tag from the active (frontmost) application, display the icon of this application on the bottom corner of the thumbnail of the tagged file.
- Implemented built-in support for tagging emails in Apple's Mail.app. (Thanks to Jonathan Austin and Greg Mulhauser for the AppleScript needed for this!)
- Added a help menu item that simply opens the website in a browser.
Version 0.9.2
→
Download
November 15, 2009
Changelog:
- Tagger now contains its own copy of the OpenMeta Spotlight importer, which is a small program that enables Spotlight to find files based on their tags. This way it'll be easier to update this importer whenever changes are needed (it'll just update whenever you update Tagger or any other OpenMeta-enabled application). In earlier versions, Tagger installed this importer onto your computer, and with this change it's now best if the importer is uninstalled from your system or user library. A small uninstaller has been included, and you should run it to uninstall any locally installed copies of the OpenMeta Spotlight importer. This will make it easier for developers to make updates to it (by just shipping an updated copy with their application updates). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
- The OpenMeta library has been updated to the latest version (SVN rev. 50). There have been some technical changes in OpenMeta which might cause some problems in some cases. Note that this version of Tagger contains version 2.1 of the OpenMeta spotlight importer, which should still work with your old tags.
Version 0.9

Download
November 06, 2009
Changelog:
- Added support for tagging web pages. Now when you launch Tagger with a supported web browser as the active application, Tagger lets you tag the web page you have open in the browser. (This is implemented by creating
.weblink
files under ~/Library/Metadata/Tagger/Web Links/
and adding the tags to them. These files are removed by Tagger only if you remove all tags from them.)
Supported browsers:
- Safari
- Opera
- Camino
- Firefox (Note: support for Firefox is very unstable due to the fact that Firefox's AppleScript support is quite buggy)
I'd like to support Chrome as well for this but unfortunately it doesn't have AppleScript support yet (as far as I know).

Changelog:
- Fixed a regression where the application's windows weren't centered properly on screen.
- Tagger now suggests to move itself into the

October 02, 2009
Changelog:
- Added the standard Edit menu back so that you could copy, paste, select all etc.

⌘L
)
- Added command-line argument

September 19, 2009
Changelog:
- Explicitly make the tags field first responder after the app has successfully launched; on Snow Leopard the tags field wasn't selected by default when selecting files in Finder and launching Tagger via a Spark shortcut.
- Don't use icon decor for the Quick Look preview if the given file path points to a regular directory (i.e. a "non-package"/"non-bundle" directory).
- The "about" dialog is now centered and displays the application's version number.

July 30, 2009
Changelog:
- Added a preference that allows submitting all changes by simply pressing the return key twice in succession.

Download
July 10, 2009
Changelog:
- Added feature that automatically offers to install the OpenMeta Spotlight importer, which is needed in order to be able to search for tags in Spotlight with queries like
tag:todo
(my sincere apologies — this should've been in version 0.7 already! If the Spotlight searching of tags hasn't worked for you, this should solve the problem.)
- Changed the label of the "commit" button from "Ok" to "Save" in order to better clarify its intent
- Made the "About" dialog better (it no longer displays under the main window and it now has a link to the website)
- Updated the OpenMeta libraries to a newer version (r31).

Version 0.8

Download
June 11, 2009
Changelog:
- Tagger can now automatically select the file that is open in the frontmost application window for tagging. This only works for document windows (i.e. Cocoa application windows that represent documents) and requires that the "Enable access for assistive devices" checkbox is selected in the Universal Access preference pane.
- Fixed bug where pressing
Command+<any key>
would save the changes and exit (instead of just Command+Return
).
- Removed the preferences window: you no longer need to manually specify whether you'd like Tagger to ask Finder or Path Finder for the currently selected items — it'll now automatically check what the frontmost application is.
Version 0.7.5

Download
August 05, 2009
Changelog:
- Tagger can now also be configured to ask Path Finder for the selected items to open for tagging, instead of Finder (this can be changed in Tagger's preferences)
- All recent tag names are now offered for autocompletion if the user hasn't yet begun typing anything and invokes autocompletion (by pressing F5)
- Error dialogs are now displayed to the user if something goes wrong in the OpenMeta libraries
Version 0.7

Download
June 08, 2009
Changelog:
- Note! The tagging system has been changed to OpenMeta in this version!
- What this means:
- Any tags you have set for your files using an older version of Tagger (or Punakea) will not be available when using this or any other later version of Tagger unless you migrate your tags from the Spotlight Metadata format over to OpenMeta
- No worries, though: you can use Punakea to automatically migrate your current tags over to the OpenMeta format so you won't lose them
- Reasons for this change:
- Nudge:nudge, the makers of the NNTagging framework, have dropped support for NNTagging in favour of OpenMeta (this means that their Punakea application uses OpenMeta now as well)
- OpenMeta is a bit nicer (and more reliable) technically than the old way of handling tags (though it's also a bit nicer for the end user: it doesn't litter the Spotlight Comments fields of your files, saving the tags using OS X extended file attributes instead)
- OpenMeta seems to be gaining traction quite well — this means there will probably be lots of more applications that can read, write and search for OpenMeta tags
- Other changes in this version:
- Folders can now be tagged
- When you open more than one file in Tagger, it now allows you to edit common tags for all of those files — so now you can add or remove tags to and from all of those files at the same time (instead of just adding tags, like in previous versions)
- You can now specify multiple files in the value of the
-f
command-line argument, separated by newlines
