After noticing that my original OpenMeta File Tagging Plugin now
included in Quicksilver’s recommended plugins no longer works, I
decided to rewrite it from the ground up. Even when the original did
work, its behavior was finicky, and there were several problems
reported by users related to its usage of the openmeta command line
tool. This new version should be much faster and functional, and
eschews the need for the command line tool entirely.

Have a look at https://github.com/jordanekay/OpenMeta-File-Tagging-Plugin
and tell me what you think. As described in the README, it adds your
OpenMeta tags to your catalog to let you find files by tag(s). It
supports the expected tagging actions as well: add, remove, set,
clear, and show tags for a single file or group of files.

So take the plugin for a spin and try it out. I'm a bit rusty and this
was a quick effort, so I'm bound to have missed something. A quick
code review would be much appreciated as well.

Note: Due to what I think may be a bug in Quicksilver I have seen it
crash when trying to show tags for a file, but I can't reproduce this
reliably. If anyone can reproduce, I'd love to know if there is a
workaround.

Thanks,
Jordan
