Re: Retrieve all available Finder tags on Monterey and later

[Leo Revzin via Cocoa-dev]

Solution found - credit goes to Thomas Tempelmann and James Walker:

sqlite3 
~/Library/SyncedPreferences/com.apple.kvs/com.apple.KeyValueService-Production.sqlite 
"SELECT writefile('path/to//tags.plist', ZPLISTDATAVALUE) FROM 
ZSYDMANAGEDKEYVALUE WHERE ZKEY = 'FinderTagDict';"

Retrieve all available Finder tags on Monterey and later

[Leo Revzin via Cocoa-dev]

I wonder if anyone has figured out a way to retrieve ALL available 
Finder tags on Monterey and later?


On pre-Monterey systems, it was possible by reading this file:

~/Library/SyncedPreferences/com.apple.finder.plist

However, this file doesn't exist anymore.

Other methods (such as reading Finder prefs or fileLabels of 
NSWorkspace) only return the 8 standard labels - but not any custom tags 
created by the user.


Googling the subject didn't produce any results.


Thanks for any info,
Leo
