Re: [ANN] Yojimbo Tag Cleanup
I debugged this a bit with Doug's help and it appears his Spotlight index was out of sync with Yojimbo. Yojimbo Tag Cleanup basically does the following: 1. Using AppleScript asks Yojimbo for a list of all tags 2. For each tag it calls the mdfind command as: mdfind -count keyword:TAG kind:yojimbo item 3. List all the tags whose count was 0 as returned from the mdfind command Doug provided an example where he had a note tagged as backup, and yet the mdfind command was returning a count of 0 for that note. He re- added the tag and the mdfind command then returned a non-zero count, as expected. Other than iterating through each database item using AppleScript and searching manually through it's list of tags to find abandoned tags, does anyone have any other AppleScript suggestions for how to find unused tags? Or any ideas why his Spotlight index wasn't up to date with Yojimbo's tags? Thanks, Steve From: Douglas Stetner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: March 30, 2008 6:42:09 AM EDT Subject: Re: [ANN] Yojimbo Tag Cleanup Steven, I have posted you an example of it incorrectly showing a used tag as deletable.

It's kind of a hack, and is a mix of Cocoa, AppleScript, and some calls to mdfind using NSTask, but it works well for me and saves a lot of time compared to how I used to do it by hand. -- Steven Huey Software - http://www.stevenhuey.com

tell application Yojimbo
set everyTag to every tag
set emptyTags to {}
repeat with aTag in everyTag
if (count of (every database item whose tags contains
aTag)) is 0 then
set emptyTags to emptyTags {contents of aTag}
end if

Re: [ANN] Yojimbo Tag Cleanup
Steve,
That works perfectly - thanks! I'll update the app to use that instead
of mdfind. I'll send out another announcement when I've got it running.

[ANN] Yojimbo Tag Cleanup 1.1
I just released Yojimbo Tag Cleanup 1.1 that uses the AppleScript Steve Kalkwarf provided for finding abandoned tags instead of the mdfind command. If you downloaded 1.0, I really recommend downloading the new version since it's much more reliable. Thanks again to Doug Stetner and Steve Kalkwarf for all their help.
