TagBot, one step closer
One of the things I’m waiting for on Mac OS X is a quick and easy way to add keywords, or tags, to all of my files. I could open the info window, use the Spotlight Comments area to fill in my keywords, and that’d suffice. But I would love it to be much easier than that.
Actually, I don’t mind applications like Aperture and iPhoto to do my tagging, but most of them keep that information in a proprietary database as opposed to putting it on the file itself (there are reasons for this, which I should probably write up someday). But there is an obvious gap in adding meta data to files in Mac OS X (especially video files).
Enter TagBot which is definitely a step in the right direction. It provides a fairly easy way to add keywords to your files either through a contextual menu or through a drag and drop interface.
I am not sure this is the best possible solution (and I do realize this is a young application), but it is definitely one step closer.
I saw this application via The Apple Blog on their wrap up for Metadata in OS X.
