  • Adding Images in Posts

      In order to add an image to a discussion, you need to first have a url to the image. This means that you have to upload the image to somewhere on the internet.


      One easy way to do this is to use www. www.postimage.com.


      You need to upload your image (remember anyone can see the image by reading a posting here, or other methods). After you upload the image you need to copy the 'html' line and paste it into a discussion comment.


      Here is the format of an image in html. (only needed if you do not use postimage.org)


      <img src="http://site.com/pictlink.jpg"/>


      This forum does not use BBCode - rather it uses html.

  • Adding Link

      You can add a link to a posting: Copy the template below, and replace xxx with the URL, and yyy with what you want to call it (which can be the same as the URL).

      <a href="xxx">yyy</a>

    s-take wrote another simple & easy OpenMeta application for searching, quicklook-ing, and renamaing OpenMeta tags. It's free and especially useful for renaming a tag name attached to multiple files at once.

    He said in his blog post that he wrote it as test of OpenMeta framework. He used OpenMeta.h (and *.m) published on google code and it was very easy for him to write it. He believes that this simplicity in OpenMeta programming should help it to spread in the world quickly.

    You can download it from here. Though it has only Japanese ReadMe.txt, it shouldn't be a problem as it's a very easy and intuitive program.

    Looks like a nice little app, thanks for letting us know :)
    So you can't add tags to files with this right? (Just search, rename & preview.)

    Hi Jono,

    Right now, it can't add tags. We still need Tagsit. I will him if he wants to add that function : )

    It would be useful if it could, but already it's a useful app, even without being able to tag files :)

    A couple of problems I noticed with it is it doesn't seems to recognise multi word tags. With Tagit you add underscores (e.g. multi_word_tag) & when searching in Finder you type "multi word tag", but neither of these show up in OMWizard.
    Also if you close the window there doesn't seem to be any other way of opening it again without quitting & restating the app. (But we can't complain with a free app right :D )

    The same guy has made a Quick Search Box plugin to tag files with OpenMeta http://s-take.blogspot.com/2009/01/quick-search-boxopenmetaqsbopenmeta.html.

    This is great news, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me :(

    Hi Jono,

    can you explain more clearly how this is supposed to work? I mean how to get these dialog-boxes/search-boxes/HUD? "Quick Search Box"? I don't understand Japanese so I am unable to get a clue. Thanks,

    Rolf

    Google Quick Search Box:
    http://googlemac.blogspot.com/2009/01/search-without-effort-quick-search-box.html

    s-take's blog said;

    Install QOSBOpenMeta (i.e., copy QSBOpenMeta.hgs ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Quick Search Box/Plugins: from readme.rtfd). Activate QSB after selecting a file. Add OpenMeta Tags command appears on the command list. It can even delete tags.

    This guy is keeping himself really busy with OM related software/plugins.
    He's now working on a DefaultFolder X style plugin where you can add tags in the save dialog :)



    Read the blog post (translated into English) here.

    Cool - It's interesting how much buzz is being generated in the Japanese markets.

    BTW, Default Folder is working on OpenMeta integration now. Cool stuff (and an awesome app!)

    I forgot to write that this only works with Cocoa apps at the moment.

    I already use Default Folder X, so I look forward to seeing OpenMeta support in there. I prefer the look of this over the Default Folder X version (blends in with the OS more), but at least you should (hopefully) be able to tag in any app with Default Folder X :)

    If you do not want to pay for Tags.app you can easily setup contextual menu item which will enable you to add OM tag to any file/folder in Finder of Path Finder.
    Just install free shell script and AppleScript executor "On_My_Command" (OMC) and add command with following content:

    /Applications/omtool -a __DLG_INPUT_TEXT__ -p __OBJ_PATH__

    (It takes use of OMtool which is, in this example, placed in /Applications/ folder.)

    You can download OMCEdit.zip from here:
    http://www.abracode.com/free/cmworkshop/on_my_command.html

    I exported "Add tag..." command to plist file which you can quickly import to OMC:

    Hi,

    1) well I wonder if there is a way to get this context-menu in (Apple's) Finder too… Anybody?
    2) Hoge, the Google-search-box does work now, …only when I select another file, it the tagging-HUD comes up the the previously added tags. Secondly, I seem to need to select first the "tagging-prompter"-applescript to get to the tagging interface. This means double cmd, then typing tag, then moving downward, selecting tag-prompter, hitting return… This is different from within Safari, as I noticed, where the tagging prompter shows up as first selection. All this needs some more work, even though its is free (and in my personal opinion looks better than Tags)

    >>> 1) well I wonder if there is a way to get this context-menu in (Apple's) Finder too… Anybody?
    Of course it works in Finder too. Actually I made a typo - "in Finder of Path Finder" should read "in Finder or Path Finder".

    Just to add that this context-menu OMC command enables you to tag multiple selected files as well. If the file(s) is already tagged it will append new tag to the file, not replace it.

    rifsoso,

    To get a better feel of it I made a standalone droplet (application) "OMTagger" which can be downloaded from here:

    Hi,

    I am still in the process of trying out your tip. Thanks for the software-pieces. Still, the OMTagger feels awkward, the tagging window popping up doesn't wrap tags in the window etc. So I suppose I have to wait for further developments.

    Regards, Rolf

    Rolf,

    OMTagger was meant just for showing the ability to tag files. It has been created with one click in OMC (On_My_Command). The main advantage of OMC is actually to provide you with context-menu item for tagging files in Finder etc...

    Just happened across this thread finally. Wow, that save dialog plugin is just the ticket... although I have to admit that I wish that Ironic or the developer of Tags would do a version that's more polished, supported, and (ahem) in English. No offense to the developer, he's doing great work.

    Update:

    s-take's OMWizard now automatically collects OpenMeta tags from Spotlight database. This means, it never happens on OMWizard that you cannot see a tag you surely added to your files on the tag browser.




    If you're crazy about Japanese Animation and Manga, it's a good news. I just happened to find that a guy, iphlox, wrote an applescript that downloads and adds OpenMeta tags to pictures on pixiv, Japanese online community for Manga artists . He also wrote another applescript that works great with Nico Nico Douga, Japanese video sharing community.

    All the descriptions are written in Japanese. Moreover, I haven't yet tested these applescripts by myself but just read on the other blogs that other people used them. If you don't mind to invest your time for deciphering iphlox's blog for collecting illustrations by Japanese Manga artists, just try it.

    Hey Jono - just a quick not about Default Folder X: You can make it look more "integrated" by turning off the dark gray HUD look. In your Default Folder X preferences, choose the "gray sidebar" appearance instead of the default black bezel.

    Thanks Jon. I did try that but thought the coloured icons didn't look quite as good as the simpler monochrome ones there. I might make myself some black or dark grey ones to replace them sometime :)
