Mavericks command line tool published

The tool will create both Mavericks Finder and 10.7+ openmeta tags on files. 

If someone who does command line tools more than once every two years was to look at this, I'm sure the options and usage could be made more in line with standard command line tool argument conventions.

Excellent, Tom, thank you!

Question: what is a "managed" tag? 

Also: not that I can see ever doing it, but would it be possible to backslash-escape a double quote mark inside a multi-word tag?

If PATH is a directory, will it apply the tags to the directory? To files in the directory? Any thoughts of adding recursion for this?

Managed is not a tag, its another field, one that Yep uses to mark documents as 'something I want to keep track of'. 

If the path is a directory, it will likely apply tags to the folder, not the files inside. Leap can apply tags to lots of documents at once. I agree that it would be nice to have in a command line tool. 

With tagging being built in to Mavericks, I think that there will be many more uses for tags in workflow solutions in print, etc. This will mean that command line tools will become more popular.
