@BabyJ didn’t notice that… weird. I don’t have Photoshop, but if someone wants to try it on Photoshop, and report back, maybe we can figure out what they mean.

Well, for one, Tags has an amazing interface, with nice animations, and it also has the tag manager. But, if you are someone who only wants a few things, TagIt looks great.

uh, it’s nice – but why on earth would i pay for this when the sharp minds behind yep leap and deep have released TAGIT for free???? it’s the same open metadata format too, so truly no technical difference and i find it even easier to use than this 29 dollar app….

see: http://www.ironicsoftware.com/tagit/ (on google openmeta, it’s really a nice app and you should consider a comparative review of some kind)

It would be really nice if one day Mac OS X supported tags and incorporated it into the operating system so we did not have to use third party tools for tagging.

I am tagging files and folders using spotlight comments, Default Folder X to apply spotlight comments on file saving and Automator to apply multiple spotlight comments at once.

Tags seems to be ok but not being able to create tags at the time when you save a file is a deal-breaker. If I got to save a file, then tag it after it has been saved it will not work and I will end up with loads of files and folders that are untagged. For tagging to work you got to tagg it all and do so all the time and until Tags gives me a way to tag my document when I save it, this will never fly.

Let me tag when I save a file then this might be turn out to be really useful.

If you click on the menubar icon, and go to Tag Manager, the window should appear.

Do you have version 1.1?

I agree… Simple and very easy to use!
The cost of the app makes my go elsewhere!
$29.00…. REALLY!?!

Question…. How did you get to that screen…..? titled tag manager?
When I open my tag manager I get a different window….
Thanks
