hi!
Is there any way one can assign a hotkey such that when I select a file in the finder, and press the key, the tagger is brought up with the files in it?
I tried making an automator workflow, and telling it to "open" the selected files with punakea, but it didn't work, and I don't know why. when I drag a file to the dock icon of p. it does the sensible thing and brings it up in tagger.
for those of us with large monitors, dragging something all the way to the sidebar is just too much... ;-)

Hehe, large monitors aren't all great ;)
The Finder hotkey is already on our ToDo list - but you are right, the Automator workflow might be a temporary workaround. I might look into this sometime :)
That's a good idea. I
That's a good idea.
I managed to do it with Automator :)
The actions to use are:
Get Selected Finder Items
then
Open Finder Items (& select Punakea)
Then use something like Quicksilver, Butler or FastScripts to active the workflow with a hotkey.
I wonder what I'm doing
I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I didn't even get as far as thinking about how to link the workflow script to a hotkey. I saved it as a Finder plug-in, so it appeared in the context-menu, but when I selected it, it didn't work!

Here are a few ways you could do it:
From Automator Save As Plugin & then select Script Menu as the type. Then use FastScripts to active it with a hotkey.
Save as a 'normal' workflow & use a Quicksilver trigger to active it with a hotkey.
Save it as an application & use Butler to active it with a hotkey.
I could do it with Butler.
I could do it with Butler. But is useless, because it spins and whirrs the disk for some reason for 3 seconds before I get the tagger. That's even slower than dragging to the sidebar...
I tried doing it with FastScrips but it just doesn't work, neither with a hotkey, nor by selecting it from the scripts menu.

I had the same wish and
I had the same wish and added a keyboard shortcut:
Go to Apple-> System Preferences-> Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts
1. Add a new Shortcut (press the +)
2. Choose Application: Finder.app
3. Choose Menu Title: Tag File
4. Choose Keyboard Shortcut: (I use command+p)
5. Add
and here we go: Just mark your files in the finder and press your shortcut. Hope it helps.

Hi, I'm using a Quicksilver
Hi,
I'm using a Quicksilver trigger that invoke the punakea service "show tagger":
just select the triggers panel in preferences ->new trigger (the + button) and then in "Select an item" type Current Selection (Proxy objet) then in "Action" choose "Punakea tag file"; Save and then choose an hotkey (mine is shift+command+T)
hope this helps

I just posted a similar response in an old thread, but I use LaunchBar to do this very easily.
