Missing "Tags" option Fri Jan 04, 2013 9:46 pm • by jayco437
I recently reinstalled Hazel on my new Mac Mini (Mountain Lion, all updates). I didn't back up my rules so I have to create them from scratch.

I thought I created a rule on my other computer something like "If the Tag is X move to folder Y". I can't find the Tag attribute in my rules. It doesn't appear in the main dropdown or in the list that shows up with I choose "Other".

Am I missing something? Were Tags removed?

I still have the ability to add tags thru PathFinder on my system so it seems OK on my end.

Resolved. Once I installed Default Folder X the Tags field was available. Hazel supports OpenMeta but, I guess, doesn't install some necessary file or script.

Hazel doesn't officially support OpenMeta. You can search the forums for away to enable limited support via a hidden default. What I'm guessing you are seeing is the Spotlight version of the tags field. That will only appear when you install an app that does support OpenMeta, which should update the Spotlight schema, in which case, it should be no different than any of the other Spotlight fields, except maybe more buggy.
