Tags are apple's most undersupported good idea on the Mac right now. I can't wait for your "cleanup" script to become available :-)
Quick question: vitag chokes on my high Sierra install telling me it can't find vim or vi in my PATH, yet I have no problem running either editor from the CLI. I resort to -e bbedit but it's a pain to type:
* any idea why vitag can't find vi?
* can I specify bbedit as a default editor in the config file?
Cheers

Totally agree!!
All this command line stuff is chinese for me, but i'm looking for a way to built a "board of tags" on an ipad, using the Max software i'm familiar with ( topic here : https://cycling74.com/forum... )
Run `type -t vim` at a prompt. Do you get `file` as a response? If so, it should use that, otherwise defaulting to your $EDITOR variable. So the other option is to set $EDITOR, for which I do something like http://brettterpstra.com/20...
The thing I still want to know and have never found out is where the system index of tags is stored. When you start typing a tag into Finder it will autocomplete tags that have already been used in files. Where does it get this autocomplete list from? There must be a system index of tags. I would like to be able to read that list.
