How To See Which Tags Have Been Applied To A File

I just want to mention this briefly. A couple of customers have emailed us recently saying that they really like TagBot, but they wish there was some way to know which tags they'd applied to a given file. As it turns out, TagBot can already do that - it's just not a well-documented bit of functionality. I think the time has come to break the silence.

If you want to see which tags have been applied to a file, just right-click on the file and look at the list of tags in the Remove Tag submenu. That submenu is a list of only the tags that have been applied to the selected file. We think this makes sense, given that you can't remove a tag that hasn't been applied already.

If you haven't applied any tags to the file yet, the Remove Tag submenu won't be there. And if you select multiple files and right-click on them, the Remove Tag submenu will show a list of all the tags that have been applied to any of the selected files. It's a pretty quick and handy way to see what you've already got going on.

This has been pretty fun - we should do it more often. If there are more questions that you'd like to see us answer here, send us email: support_bot@bigrobotsoftware.com.
