Hi Jon,

I have been cruising along, trying to avoid some of the little issues
ive noticed. (Ive posted enough here in the past to worry about being
a nuisance.)

But since I just figured out a fix to one such problem, I thought I'd
share and hopefully help contribute to making Tag Folders that much
better!

Once the user has changed and saved the default Saved Search Query of
a (new or old) Tag Folder to remove tags (per the User Guide); and
specifically multiword tags saved in Spotlight Comments containing
quotes (e.g. @"on hiatus" or even @"+Refman!" - so this issue is the
quotes)

Applying multiword or quoted Spotlight Comments works; removing them
does not.

For a while I was trying to make all my tags single word tags - but
thats a pain.

The solution for me has been to just remove the quotes from the
Spotlight Comments field. Of course, now Tag Folders no longer removes
these tags from the Spotlight Comments field properly, but its better
than not being able to untag multiword tags!

Please advise if/when a fix becomes available!

PS. Dont have time for another post right now - more later maybe - but
the upgrade script to the latest OpenMeta version also creates wonky
Saved Search Queries where everything (e.g. Tags, Spotlight Comments,
and Keywords) are quoted and duplicated. The tag folders are broken
until a manual edit removes the extra /redundant/quoted bits.

Thanks, as always!!! for an awesome application!

Jon, any response? Will removal of multi-word tags be possible again
anytime soon?
