DESCRIPTION
Tags allows you to manage all your files so that you can easily find the files that you need, when you need them.
- Tag everything on your Mac: documents, emails, images and all other files. Quickly find files irrespective of where you saved them. You can bring up the Tag's UI with a simple keystroke in most applications, so that you can Tag files and search for Tags, wherever you are.
- Tags are like keywords for files. Using tags allows you to group files which have something in common. You can apply many different Tags to a single file as well as apply the same Tag to multiple files. This allows you to associate files to one another in a way far superior to a rigid file / folder structure.
Features:
- Tag Files directly in all supported applications
- Full Spotlight Integration
- Supports in application search
- Create smart folders and mailboxes
- Applescript support
Supported Applications:
Tags works natively with basically all applications that properly support applescript.
- Finder
- Mail
- Address Book
- iPhoto
- Safari
- Microsoft Office (Word, Excel etc.)
- Adobe Photoshop
- Xcode
- Rapidweaver
- Omnioutliner
- Pages
- Keynote
- Quicktime
Of course, even if the App is not supported, you can still always tag the resulting file in the Finder!
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.0.2: - fixes some annoying crashes and bugs. This free update is recommended for everyone.
- Fixed an issue where clearing the global keyboard shortcuts did not work
- Fixed an issue where deleting a tag could lead to a crash of Tags
- Tags crashed for certain folders in Finder (e.g. Applications)
- Improved support to work together with MailTags
- If you have configured Tags to hide its Dock icon, than this setting is respected when you update the app. Unfortunately this will start to work with the very next update.
- Note: Firefox 3.6 is currently not supported as it does no longer provide an Applescript Interface
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

KPOWICK 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.

KPOWICK 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.

RAYCON 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.

Tags 2.0 now REQUIRES Mac OS X 10.6.x. No more Leopard support.

FOTO555 Now we're talking! Tags 2 now makes this, in my opinion, the premiere tagging solution. Its new interface along with its new and enhanced features make this an incredibly useful utility.

KIHWANG KIM I use yep and leap and fresh and Path Finder. I think that Tag method is going to be good method filing any things. So I tried Tags and bought it. This is great little program in my opinion.

ICONZ113 If you have leap, doesn't that make yep sort of redundant? or is there some other functionality yep contains? I don't know much about those apps. Also do they actually import? or just tag files?

LOUNGE DELUXE I have a SSD in my MacBook Pro and I have disabled Spotlight because the SSD is blazing fast at finding and accessing files, so there is no need for Spotlight and its indexing service. But I'm curious is Tags 2 will run on my system as it is supposed to, now that this new version sort of depends heavily on Spotlight?

MACSOLU Bad call to disable Spotlight. Tags v2 depends on it, and a significant amount of OS components and Apple apps and 3rd-party apps also depend on it. Don't fight Spotlight; just accept it as a core OS feature that's pretty much required at this point.

LOUNGE DELUXE Obviously Spotlight is not a core OS feature that is required in general because I had it already disabled in OS X 10.5 and it never resulted in an error or inability to perform a specific OS task. OS X allows you to disable it, and like I wrote before there is no need at all to use Spotlight because of the SSD with its blazing fast read capabilities and extremely low seek times (0.1ms versus at least 12ms for a regular hdd). EasyFind serves all my purposes. My question was if Tags 2.0 would run without Spotlight or not.

TDEV I’m not sure how these guys claim to support tagging in iPhoto. If you apply the tag with this app it is not searchable in iPhoto If you search using Tags for a tag applied to a pic in iPhoto it finds the photo... in the Finder, not in iPhoto and opens it in... Preview. Searching through the iPhoto Library via the Finder is dangerous and can easily lead to a corrupted Library. You shouldn’t do it. And these guys shouldn’t claim to support iPhoto, or any form of Photo tagging. Their tags are not complaint with Photo standards. They cannot be written to the file on export from iPhoto. The app is unaware of and does not support IPTC standards. This app may do a lot of things, but it doesn’t “work natively” with iPhoto. It doesn’t work with it at all.

DOOBIEXX This app is by far the best tagging app. One click and you easily apply tags to anything from websites to finder windows. Not sure about your problem before with iphoto as I don't use it but iphoto has it's own tagging system.... I think if you contact the dev your problems will be fixed. Don't quit on tags!! It's very intuitive and powerful.
