List all your Spotlight-tags with great new widget

Posted at May 18, 2005

Benedikt at Terhech.de has made an excellent new widget for Mac OS X 10.4. I have blogged about how you can tag all your files in Finder with Spotlight comments, and make Smart folders to show you files tagged with different keywords, like “@home” etc.

Now Benedikt has made a widget that scans through all your files, and lists the keywords you have put in Spotlight comments for you. Great!

The next step for all Mac programmers out there: Make a widget/script/app that displays all tags like Benedikt’s TagBag, but also have a nice interface for changing tags, and to mark files that are “done”.

    mh somehow it doesn’t seem to work for me. I added the @work tag to a few files, and even created a smart folder collecting them all.

    However Tagbag shows no tag…

    Correction: the widget went into /Library/Widgets rather than ~/Library/Widgets. Once I moved it there, it worked.
