[macOS] Set Finder Tags

Post by rednoah »

The Set Finder Tags allows you to add a series of tags to your movie and episode files to make them more accessible in Finder.


e.g. export Finder tags for existing files:

Shell: Select all

filebot -find /input --apply finder
Screenshot

:idea: By default, the list of tags for each file is generated via the following format expression:

Format: Select all

FileBot
{ movie; 'Movie' }
{ episode; anime ? 'Anime' : 'TV Show' }
{ movie; genre }
{ movie; '★' * (rating / 2).round() }
{ y }
{ hd == 'UHD' && hdr ? 'HDR 4K' : null }


:idea: You can configure Set Finder Tags to generate custom Finder tags via the apply.finder.tags setting:
NOTE: \n and | serve as tag delimiter

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def apply.finder.tags='{genre}|{y}|{hd}'
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
