Best (Open Source Tagging for Mac OS X) implementation ever! I use also Leap, by far the best standalone OpenMeta solution, but Tags is perfectly integrated in Mac OS X. Even tagging in Mail is a charm. And, after some Mails with the Developer and testing some special Debug-Versions, Tags works also in Lion (10.7.2). Best and also fastest support I ever get.

PS. And NO. I do not get my paycheck from this guys ;-)

This program has a lot of features but and good potential to be a great program if you are trying to eliminate the file folder paradigm to a more modern computer oriented file system but one you can find documents in easier. Just started trying to use it for the first time in Lion, so I am not sure what may be compatibility issues, but some things do not work properly.

For example, I want the to ask to Tag files saving to my documents folder (folders, gone) to make sure everything is tagged. Otherwise, you might have problems finding you files fast or being able to use smart folders and/or Hazel to organize them in some fashion.

Also, this may not be a Tags program issue, but their supplied Automator workflows (example "Ask for Tags") do not work and they are crucial in using Tags the way I need it to work in order to automate using Tags. Running these workflows in Automator shows several errors that may be related. The dialog window does come up and you can enter tags, but they are not written to the file.

The latest release is said to me for Lion compatibility, but I still have the same problems.

So far, the developer is not responding.

If anyone can shed light on the Automator issues, thanks in advance for your help. Without this, Tags I only marginally useful.

Great software but I can't help but think that with a different price point (say $15) they'd sell a whole lot more licenses.

I've tried several other file tagging type programs. I even have licenses to a few though previous bundle purchases...

This one is the only tagging program I've bought straight out... Its rather simple and works well...

This is a great application but there are many files that I can't tag, usually from within the files application.

The developers rarely update this application and I find that disappointing. It has such great potential.

I do still recommend the Tags, I just hope the developers don't give up on it.

Tags has a very clean interface that allows one to assign and browse OpenMeta tags. You can assign tags to one or multiple files from the Finder (or PathFinder) with just a key-press and a mouse-click.

There is a tag browser that allows you to find all files with one tag, a union of tags (this tag or this tag or this tag), or an intersection of tags (this tag and this tag and this tag). You can also search by content within a set of tagged documents.

Tags includes a Spotlight replacement that has a better user interface which also allows you to search by tag. I like it better than Spotlight, but I don't use it that much.

The program is also scriptable, but I haven't used that yet.

The one thing it doesn't allow is to search for tags within folder hierarchies (all files with tag X in my "Personal" folder).

I have found one small display bug, and the authors say that they will fix it in the next release.

In all, a wonderfully simple implementation of OpenMeta tags.

With the advent of OS X Tiger features a new Spotlight, search on the Mac has never been a quick and convenient. Spotlight simplify searching for files by tag (or tags), without requiring the user knowledge of the exact names of files or their contents.

However, to assign a label to the document to quickly find not so simple. Keywords can include the name of the document or open the file properties and to prescribe tags in the field "Comments Spotlight".

Tags - one of the most visually attractive applications. Tags fully compatible with Spotlight, and uses the platform "OpenMeta" to integrate tags with other applications. Adding tags to files produced by hot key. This is the perfect solution for tagginga files.

Tags - The tool allows you to tag from the Finder files and folders, as well as letters, photos or bookmarks in Safari. The new version of the utility upgraded search engine and integrated search for labels. Update your browser adds tags, support for Mailplane, Firefox, and some applications, Adobe.

By combining tags, users can simplify access to files, in particular by pressing hotkeys for applications. Tag Browser allows you to edit existing tags and view the recent files.

Thanks to developers for a very useful product!

Best Regards Vitaly!

I like the idea of using tags to search for related items that may not reside physically in the same place. You can achieve very quick search results using all sorts of combinations of search terms. This is great for finding images. The trouble is in "beginning tagging" in the first place, though since I'm clearing out all my stuff anyway, I'm going to go with it. Default Folder is good for tagging whilst saving.

But please devs do something better with the "tag browser" !!!

Just as a follow-up to my original "Trouble" comment. Tech support was quick to get back to me, asking for some additional information (a process sample). Unfortunately, by that time I had suffered a few more hangs along with some mysterious crashes (application would just quit/disappear), so I removed Tags from my system.

I was really impressed with the improved interface and functionality over the 1.x version, and of all the other tagging applications I've tried, I think Tags 2 comes closest to what would work best for me, but the lack of stability forces me to wait until they iron out the bugs. I hope it won't be too long.

Downloaded latest version (2.0.1) today to run on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.2). Twice ran into a problem where Tags would peg the CPU at 100%, necessitating that the program be killed via Activity Monitor.

Problem happened while using the Tag Browser and attempting to delete a tag associated with several files. Once was a tag found on ~60 files, the second time was a tag found on 7 files.

The files were only plain text and definitely not in use by any other process (if that matters.)

E-mail sent to tech support and awaiting a reply.

This is quite disappointing to come across so early in my evaluation, and for such a seemingly basic function.

Same problem. The latest version is Beachball City. I had found another application, Tagoman, that I liked better than the 1.x versions of Tags. When I received an email about the new and improved functionality of Tags, I thought I'd give it a try. I'll check back at a later version.
