It's free not $35, not $18, free, period. I needed a tagger, this app tags, nuff said. On a side note, I wish there was a better way for me to visually tag my bookmarks. Oh wait, I have Evernote. Not as quick, but again, it's free and it works. I'm happy.

This is a very good little app for searching tagged files. But I find it somewhat cumbersome dragging and dropping files on its icon in order to tag them, so I don't use it for that. Instead, a better solution for me is to tag files in DefaultFolder X's saving dialog when creating them. For existing files I use another excellent little gem: Tagger. Here is the link to it: http://hasseg.org/tagger/. With Tagger, I simply select any number of files, launch it and tag away! Quick and easy.

Because Tagger also uses the OpenMeta system, you'll be able to search files using Tagit. I don't quite like the idea of having two different application for tagging and searching files. But until Tagit offers an easier, better alternative to drag and drop, I'll stick with both. On the other hand, if Tagger incorporates searching capabilities, it would currently be a better choice in my opinion.

This software is the best in my trials so far. No crashes, good integration with spotlight. Needs more work on tag management though.

I finally gave up on Spotlight Comments about a year ago. They were just too unreliable. The underlying unix tools would report one thing and the Finder another!

Openmeta sounds like Spotmeta, any relation? Anyhow extended attributes is probably the best way forward. If this tagging solution is reliable it will be a nice complement to hierarchical folders and fill an important need. I'm certainly gonna give it a go.

Does anybody know if its possible to delete tags from the tag list? How do you do it? I created a tag that I won't ever use by mistake and I can't figure out how to delete it.
