New feature: The Tray
The main purpose of the HoudahSpot Tray is to provide access to the file tagging features. The Tray may also list your templates
New feature: File tagging
HoudahSpot 3 adds the ability to tag files.
Tags are non-hierarchical keywords assigned to files. They serve a similar purpose than folders. The crucial difference being that a file may be assigned several tags and be located by any of them.
HoudahSpot's tagging feature is based upon the OpenMeta technology. It is thus compatible with a growing number of third party tagging applications.
New feature: Tag searches
The HoudahSpot Tray lists your favorite tags as well as tags recently used by HoudahSpot or another OpenMeta tagging solution.
Drag a file to a tag to assign it that tag. Drag a file to the file well to be presented with a window to enter any number of tags.
Select tags and double-click to start a search. Hold down the option key while double-clicking to match any of the selected tags.
Enhancement: HoudahSpot menu bar item
The behavior of the HoudahSpot menu bar item has been changed slightly.
Clicking the menu bar item now reveals the BlitzSearch window.
Right-clicking the menu bar item opens an actual menu listing HoudahSpot templates.
