Although tagging for productivity can be fun, tagging any old file on their computer is one of the main things people want to be able to do (right up there with tagging photos). If you’re into tagging your files, then you’ve probably run across two different ways to do it: file system tagging and file libraries. I’ll get to specific software in the next article; for now, here’s the differences between the two.

Wether you use file system tagging or a file library depends mostly on personal preference. Both have their pros and cons, and both have a selection of different software available (although file system tagging still doesn’t have any standout fantastic options). [read more...]

Coming hot on the heels of Yep 1.6.5 is version 1.6.6. This minor update fixes a crash that occurred when moving documents to the Yep Documents folder and includes a couple other minor feature tweaks and fixes.

Unfortunately, the Yep developers do not provide release notes or a changelog outside of the automatic in-program update service, so for more details you’ll have to launch your current version of Yep or just download the newest version on faith.

EagleFiler, the file library with excellent tag support, has been updated to 1.2.5. This minor update adds capture support for Cyndicate, the new kid on the block of RSS readers, along with some bug fixes and speed improvements.

For details, see the C-Command EagleFiler 1.2.5 update post.

Several apps received minor updates while I was away from the internet. Yep was bumped to 1.6.5 (including several bug fixes and performance tweaks), iGTD jumped to 1.4.5.6 (several minor bug fixes), Keyword Manager received a larger update to 1.3 which brings compatibility with iPhoto ’08, Pukka version 1.6.1 added support for the free RSS feeder Vienna, and PackRat is now at version 1.3.2 (fixing a crash that some people were seeing).

For more details about the updates, or to download them, please use the links above (all except Yep have blogs or release notes).

EagleFiler, Tagamac’s choice for tag-based file library software, was updated today to 1.2.4. This minor update mainly contains improvements to the way EagleFiler deals with PDFs, although some minor graphical changes and bug fixes were included as well.

For the full list of improvements, please see C-Command’s 1.2.4 update post.

KIT (Keep It Together), a tag-based file library, was updated today to version 1.3.8. This minor update includes a number of performance improvements and bug fixes. You can find the full details (and a link to the download) in the KIT release notes, or just launch the application to have it auto-update.

Although I personally prefer EagleFiler for filing documents because of its Finder-friendly storage format, KIT is a quality solution for those who are looking for a cheaper piece of software than EagleFiler or DEVONThink.
