Something weird happened while I was testing some tagging applications. I ended up with a contextual menu item (right-click in the Finder) of “Tag Selection” that didn’t do anything. I was going nuts trying to find how it got there, and what I could uninstall to get rid of it. Things that don’t work just seem like an invitation to trouble! I had decided somewhere along the line that Tag Folders had gone crazy on me, but its manual is thorough on how to uninstall (hurrah!). I was also wondering about Tagoman since I downloaded it at the same time (no installer, I just left it in my Downloads folder). Well, thanks to AppCleaner and browsing what it listed under Other, I found TagoManCMPlugin.plugin! I removed its symlink from ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items and the contextual menu item also vanished. Whew, mystery solved! I’m certain the reason why Tag Selection didn’t do anything is that TagoMan never made it to /Applications, so don’t blame it. I just never grok’d its workflow.

Thanks for that one. It was bugging me too. Not that I settled for any of these tag services in the end. Wouldn’t it have been nice if in the save window Snow Leopard had an area to enter tags, just as the import options in iPhoto have provided? That TagFolders app goes unrated to this day because I don’t think anyone can wrap their heads around what it does. I for one have downloaded and dumped it at least 3 times. Still, the way I work, labels may be all the categorization I need, so my next interest has more to do with finding a good file organizer, like Hazel, and/or dumping everything into a really obvious place and using smart folders.
