It’s ready as far as I’m concerned. :-) There is a more official way to set tags available in 10.9, so we’ll surely want to take advantage eventually, but it works as is.

I started on a Python script to do this, but didn’t get very far. I assume someone will beat me to it. I found that Gist and, like you, wondered why the hell you would work on directories instead of just searching by tag. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
