I have the file tagging module ticked as installed – and tagging works. I have my prefix set, and under actions five actions are ticked "show files matching", "remove tags","set tags", "set tags", and "add tags". Lastly, under Catalogue ->Modules, I have "File Tags" ticked. But I don’t get that search/finder window come up that you do. Any suggestions? Oh, BTW, I’m using Leopard and QS Beta 54. What I am getting, is a smart finder window with those files edited today.

if I tag file for some project from my notebook, does the tags appear on the other client machine?

I saw the question about mailtag, can they be searched by qs as well?

what about address book contacts, can I tag these too?

What happen if some file has been download to a remote computer via ftp and then uploaded back again? they will keep tags?

Thank you very much

I’ve been thinking about them a lot, as we have moved a 1500-item site from Plone (with some tagging and smart folders) to Drupal (with tagging the primary navigation system). I too could not get over the hurdle of requiring navigation ordering.

With the help of some clever implementers on my project, we’ve implemented folder emulation — using tags! If each item is tagged with its path+shortName, then all the paths form a hierarchical set of tags (either break out the path components or keep them in one string, it’s an implementation choice).

So if I want to say “this thing should be in the same conceptual space as these other things” and I am used to having a nice hierarchical set of concept spaces (read: folders), I can still order/organize things in that way, and people can still find them in that way. It makes it obvious that folders are just another tagging system.

But being able to ALSO tag them and put them into various views, using their tags, is really nice so far. (Will release new web site Real Soon Now.) It has taken a lot of time to come up with a satisfactory set of taxonomies, though.

On my Mac, with over 1M files, and maybe 100K emails, I am not about to start tagging them all — I’m happier using sorts and searches, and memory. But I’ll view the movie (as soon as my system lets me), maybe I’ll change my mind.

Any ideas as to what im doing wrong?

When I do the same search in spotlight all 20 documents are found. Why? Is something not set p properly? Take care!

I noticed when using (the older version) that for some reason Quicksilver & TagBot saved searches wouldn’t always pick up files tagged using Default Folder X. Sometimes it would add a space & I’d have to ‘Get Info’ on the file & remove the space it added before the tag in order for it to play nice with other tagging apps.

Any word on it this has been fixed?

You (or one of the comments) said that’d make things go quicker, and certainly cuts down on my own mistakes when tagging my files :-)
