Tag a folder

Folder tagging is still on our todo list, let's see what the future brings :)

any change to share with us a timeframe with regards to 'let's see what the future brings?' ;-)

In the current dev version, you can add tags to folders, and they get written to the Spotlight Comment ... problem is: Spotlight won't find them ... seems like a new limitation in leopard, we'll have a look!

Just to be clear, I would like to be able to tag a folder, not the contents of the folder necessarily. I guess it would be o.k. if each content also got tagged, but I would like to be able to find all folders with a certain tag.

I am looking to use this system as a document management system. Most commercial DMSs are so complicated with too many steps to label a file that it is not worth it to me. Thanks,

Carlo, this will work as you wanted it, just the folder gets tagged at the moment. If we every add recursive tagging, we will make this optional!

P.S.: Small correction, folder tagging does works, including searching for them! I don't know what was wrong earlier ... the next release will be able to tag folders :)

Recursively tagging the content of a folder is impotant! Imagine to tag about 90.000 photos in folders and subfolders...

1. optional
(2. No. of levels / everything)

Is there any update on recursive tagging or other mass tagging methods?

We're trying to decide if this is the solution we're looking for, but the tagging tens of thousands of individual files one at a time is... Um... Too labor intensive for us ;-)

Is there a way to use Automator to handle mass tagging?

Thanks in advance for any clarification anyone can provide, we're desperately searching for a system like this to introduce a layer of abstraction for the file system and Punakea seems like the best solution so far!
