What's New
Version 1.1.1 Leopard brought us many wonderful things, but it also brought us a Finder that crashes when TagBot 1.1 tried to display files with a given tag. The whole point of this release, TagBot 1.1.1, is to remedy that condition. With this, TagBot is now fully Leopard-compatible.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

However, as I stated, it should be illegal for an automated payment script to be used.
US authorities- interested in real on-line crime and fraudulent activity?

unfortunately Ive paid for this in last 12 months as it seemed to be the only app that gave the basic functionality i required- simple tagging of multi- criteria files.
With that $20 gone and no replacement for SLx doesnt look like such a good deal any more.
Further the in-app utility registration remains active which IMHO is dangerous.
I'd note that the system email add I'd used for a decade started getting spam in the last 12 months when I used it to 'register' various software elements.
Not sure it's connected, but the old one had to be retired.

Same version DOES continue to work under 10.6x SL.
Very happy to continue to utilise.

I started using this to interact with MailTags, however the demo has a limit of 10 tags, not 10 tags, multiple files, but a total of 10 tags, it worked okay-ish, but not enough to really tell - so I used the built in store and bought the full version $20, to really get an idea - mistake. I thought if MailTags and iGTD mentioned it would be worth the $20 - mistake.
Tagbot looks like the iPhoto keyword manager from bullstorm.se (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23240/keyword-manager) - but has none of the functionality of the superb bullstorm product.
I find Tagbot is now unusable/non-functional. I have been emailing bigrobotsoftware support - nothing- not even bounced mail.
support_bot@bigrobotsoftware.com
I tracked down the developers email at whois (their website is a dyndns), if anyone wants to try: ryfar@bigrobotsoftware.com
I got no reply.

I think this app is dead.
That's too bad. If they would support it, I would buy it, but without support, why would anyone pay anything?
Hopefully, someone else will write a nice light app that does the same thing as Tagbot.
It collects the tags you use, keeps them in a list and allows you assign and sort by them easily--even on multiple tags when you use the the command key to multi-select tags (then hit return).
It was a great app. RIP Tagbot.

1. select a tag
2. hold down the command key and click on another tag to highlight both of them
3. release the command key
4. press and hold the command key again and double click on the second tag you selected
A Finder window should open displaying the files that meet the tag criteria you selected. It will be empty if there are no files with all of the tags you selected.
As far as I can tell, you can select as many tags as you want this way. I have tried up to six and it worked. You can also use the shift key if you want to select a contiguous range of tags and combine it with the command key double click as described above.
I have not bought the app due to developer abandoning it so I am limited to six tags.

This is a great little app. Please don't abandon it.

On the other hand, in my testing, it seems that, for some reason there is a vastly increased delay, when opening my context-menu.
I have no idea of other users' experience in this regard, but for me, this is a major downer.
I may have to add, there's a chance this could be related to the fact that I have several other context-menu plugins installed as well; OnMyCommand, PathSnagger, Photo Tool CM, QuickImage, Finder Icon CM... but (!) my context-menu operated perfectly before and after having the TagBot plugin there, so either there's a "collision" going on between the plugs, or there's a "glitch" in the TagBot.plugin code.
