Error message right after install, saying I need to reinstall...

[epologee]

hi there,

I just downloaded and installed Tag folders from
http://web.me.com/jonstovell/Tag_Folders/Tag_Folders_Home.html, but
it's not working.
Now normally I'd move on to something else, but this app looks very
promising, so I'm trying the group here to try and get it to work.

Right after installing and running through the dialogs, if I try to
run Tag Folders or the New Tag.app, or drop something on top of either
one, I get this error message:
http://grabs.epologee.com/31c70b573cd8f1b9ca363b4daffb36d0.png
("OpenMeta not installed, try reinstalling").

But that's what I just did, so it's not helping. I tried reinstalling,
logging-off, rebooting, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?

The only other app that I'm running that does something with OpenMeta
is Default Folder X, but I haven't used it to tag anything, because I
think it's too cumbersome.

Is this fixable?

Cheers,
Eric-Paul.

Hi Eric-Paul,

Thanks for the bug report! Let's see if we can get this worked out.

Please copy and paste the following commands into Terminal, and tell me what results you get from running each one:

mdimport -L 2>&1 | grep -i OpenMeta

mdimport -X 2>&1 | grep -i OpenMeta

mdimport -X 2>&1 | grep -i OMUserTags

Thanks,

Jon

Here they are!

→ mdimport -L 2>&1 | grep -i OpenMeta

    "/Users/[my user name]/Library/PreferencePanes/Default Folder X.prefPane/Contents/Resources/Default Folder X Helper.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/OpenMetaSpotlight.mdimporter",

→ mdimport -X 2>&1 | grep -i OpenMeta

        "com.openmeta.openmetaschema" =         {

            name = "com.openmeta.openmetaschema";

→ mdimport -X 2>&1 | grep -i OMUserTags

        kMDItemOMUserTags =         {

            name = kMDItemOMUserTags;

                kMDItemOMUserTags,

                kMDItemOMUserTags,

Let me know what's next!

Cheers,

Eric-Paul.

Thanks, Eric-Paul! That was very helpful. 

It turns out I had left a spot in the code where I did not make sure to protect against spaces in the file path for OpenMetaSpotlight.mdimporter, and that was causing the error. 

I just uploaded a beta version to the files section of this discussion group at http://tag-folders.googlegroups.com/web/Tag_Folders.2.6b1.dmg.zip. It should fix the problem. Please download it and tell me whether it works properly for you now.

Er, sorry, the link in my last post doesn't work. Go to http://groups.google.com/group/tag-folders/files to download the beta.

[Jon Stovell]

Hm. It seems the Google Group file hosting is acting strangely. 

I've now uploaded a copy of the 2.6 beta to http://tagfolders.vndv.com/temp/Tag_Folders.2.6b1.dmg.zip. Please try downloading it from there instead.

Hi Eric-Paul,

How is the 2.6 beta working for you? I would like to release it soon, but I need to hear back from someone who was experiencing the problem before I can know whether it is resolved.

Jon

[Eric-Paul Lecluse]

Alright Jon,

it works now, but before reinstalling you need to manually delete the New Tag.app, because otherwise it will keep bugging about OpenMeta not being installed.

Would it be an idea to somehow join all the different dialogs in a settings pane of some sort? It's not too clear to me where to change what setting.

But before I start nagging again, let me just try out your app for a few days :)

Cheers,

Eric-Paul.

Please disregard my previous message, Eric-Paul; I did not see yours
in the moderation queue.

I wish I could set up a preferences pane, but that is not an option
for plain old AppleScript applications. I would have to recreate the
application using Xcode in order to do that, and therefore I would
have to learn how to use Xcode first. :)
