Unless we added a tag property that was stored in BibDesk, within the link blob (so not a Finder tag)? That would only work if the linked file objects aren't destroyed/recreated from a URL, and it wouldn't be visible to other apps. If we allow get/set Finder label (not sure how hard that would be), you could get the files and query Finder for the label. Definitely not in 1.3.13, though :). -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
