Sure, basically you want to concatenate the list of tags that came from the Finder comments to the list of tags from Yojimbo. So, try inserting this version of the tags-from-comments code in your import script just after the "set allTags to name of every tag" line: tell application "Finder" to set theComments to comment of theFile set originalDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " " set allTags to allTags & every text item of theComments set AppleScript's text item delimiters to originalDelimiters Note that all the "text item delimiter" stuff just makes it easier to use a different delimiter like "," instead of " ". If you'll definitely be using spaces, you can simplify things a bit: tell application "Finder" to set theComments to comment of theFile set allTags to allTags & words of theComments or probably even: tell application "Finder" to set allTags to allTags & words of the comment of theFile This example doesn't remove duplicates. I don't know if it's the most concise method, but here's one way: http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Create_a_Sequence_of_unique_elements#AppleScript Jim -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <yojimbo-talk@barebones.com>.
