Okay, after a few minutes of testing, this plugin has a lot of good functionality. Good work!
My suggestion is to add an action to show files with the selected tag in the command window. One can achieve the same thing by pressing → or / to drill down into the tag, but this is not necessarily as intuitive as a Show Tagged Files in Command Window action. Moreover, since the results list is not showing a right arrow icon next to tags, there is no visual clue to the reader that pressing → or / will do anything. The current action to show tagged files in Leap is not very useful if one does not have Leap installed, but a Show Tagged Files in Command Window would be. This proposed action should probably work along the lines of the Spotlight in Command action or any other action that returns results that should be displayed to the user, by reopening the command window with the results of the action in the first pane. Nevertheless, this is a great plugin. I was thinking that I would soon have to learn Objective-C myself, just so I could write an OpenMeta plugin for QS, because not having one was becoming aggravating to me. Thank you for saving from that, and giving the community this great gift. On Sep 4, 2:34 am, "Jon Stovell (a.k.a.
