That is a pity since meta-tags are becoming increasingly popular and it would have been nice to be able to use them.What meta tags are you speaking of? The OpenMeta stuff? http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03711.htmlYes, those tags. Also spotlight comments. Many programs (e.g., Pages, EagleFiler) that organize and manage publications and information make use of them.
I find it highly unlikely that Pages is using OpenMeta tags, since Apple told the author of EagleFiler that the OpenMeta hack was not supported, and developers could not rely on the technique that they're using. Pages may use Spotlight comments (aka Finder comments), as Apple uses them for download URLs.

I wish I knew AppleScript well enough to write the hook you suggest.There are some good examples on the wiki and included with BibDesk that you can probably modify. If you can get the tags via a shell command such as xattr, `do shell script` might work.I'll check these out, but it is not like having a native solution in BibDesk.
Correct. It's much better, since not everyone uses OpenMeta or wants keywords filled in from files. The great thing about using a script hook is that it would appear to be a native solution, though.
