Workaround for Punakea-tagging from within Quicksilver, DefaultFolder X, etc.

As others have said, the format used by Punakea for tagging can be seen as a drawback. I use a simple workaround that involves apps like Textexpander or Typeit4me: just create a short cut that adds ###begin_tags###@;###end_tags### and have it place your cursor between the "@" and the ";" (it's a different syntax whether you use TextExpander or Typeit4me). My short cut is "#tag". Simply remember to sperate tags with ";@".
Unfortunately, I don't think you can get around having to add manually the same tags to Punakea (command-T) yet, if you want Punakea to reference those files.
Hope this helps.
Best, Simon.
