Reload OpenMeta Tags
Summary: Replaces the EagleFiler tags for the selected files with the OpenMeta tags.
Requires: EagleFiler
Install Location: ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/EagleFiler/
Last Modified: 2019-10-02
Description
When importing a file, EagleFiler reads the tags from OpenMeta and sets the EagleFiler tags accordingly. Additionally, tag changes made in EagleFiler are written to OpenMeta (not necessarily immediately, unless you choose Backup Metadata). This script lets you propagate changes in the other direction, replacing the selected records’ tags with the OpenMeta tags that are stored in the files’ extended attributes.
(Warning: There are various ways that OpenMeta tags can be inadvertently deleted. If this has happened, running this script will remove the tags in EagleFiler.)
