A python library for working with macOS tags.
Installation
pip install macos-tagsTutorial & Usage
Get files by tag name:
>>> import macos_tags
>>> macos_tags.find("design")
['/Users/home/apple.jpg', '/Users/home/WEB_POSTERS.png']Count files by tag name:
>>> macos_tags.count("design")
2List the tags on the file:
>>> path = "/path/to/file"
>>> macos_tags.get_all(path)
[Tag(name='design', color=None), Tag(name='python', color=<Color.GREEN: 2>]Add a tag to file:
>>> macos_tags.add("design", file=path)When using
strobjects to define a tag, if a tag does not exist in the system, it will be added without a color label.
Add a new color tag by using Tag data class and Color enumeration:
>>> from macos_tags import Tag, Color
>>> tag = Tag(name="python", color=Color.GREEN)
>>> macos_tags.add(tag, file=path)Add a new color tag using the str object, where the tag name and color number (from 1 to 7) are separated by the literal \n:
>>> tag = f"python\n{Color.GREEN}" # == "python\n2"
>>> macos_tags.add(tag, file=path)If the tag already exists in the system with a different color, the new color will be ignored.
Remove tag from file:
>>> macos_tags.remove(tag, file=path)Remove all tags from a file at once:
>>> macos_tags.remove_all(path)Change all tags in the file:
>>> macos_tags.get_all(path)
[Tag(name='design', color=None), Tag(name='python', color=<Color.GREEN: 2>]
>>> new_tags = [Tag("book"), Tag("programming", Color.BLUE)]
>>> macos_tags.set_all(new_tags, file=path)
>>> macos_tags.get_all(path)
[Tag(name="book", color=None), Tag("programming", <Color.BLUE: 4>]
