I’m considering making use of the Finder Tags functionality in Mavericks but
the APIs seem a little sparse.
I want to create a UI with a field like the Tags: field on the Save As dialog
so I can ask the user “Which tags do you want to use on files of this purpose?”
This would not be at the poin
I did an informal time test on the path resolution using NSURL with a known ID,
like this:
NSURL *itemRefUrl = [NSURL
URLWithString:@"file:///.file/id=1234.5678/"];
NSString *itemPath = [[itemRefUrl filePathURL] path];

I couldn't figure this out and found several similar bug reports from other
developers in various forums, so I took the plunge and asked DTS. The official
