OpenMeta tagging with Keyboard Maestro
OpenMeta tagging with Keyboard Maestro
I built 4 macros for Keyboard Maestro that help you tag your files. Most of these use the new Each action built into Keyboard Maestro 5.1.
For easier inteaction a user dialog comes up, if necessary.
They have no keyboard shortcut assigned, but are available through the menubar.
Input is always the current Finder selection.
Actions:
- Set Tags: Sets tags for a file, removes existing ones.
- Add Tags: Adds new tags, doesn’t remove existing ones.
- Clear Tags: Clears tags, doesn’t set new tags.
- List Tags: Shows a window with the files selected, their tags, and their rating. If you’re not using ratings, add
-t
in the shell script right before-p "$KMVAR_OpenMetaCurrentFile"
.
The macros also make extensive use of Keyboard Maestro variables, but I like to set their value to %Delete%
when their done. This way they don’t clutter up certain menus.
