A Lightweight Metadata manager for OSX, allowing you to easily tag and rate any type of file (which is then indexed by spotlight). This is basically my iPhoto replacement now, after spending a week trying to fix its broken database, orphan files, duplicates and all that rubbish. This is much simpler, and it can be used to tag any type of file I want.

This is the result of 2 days work, and just 400 lines of code. That’s pretty decent in my book, the combination of python and cocoa is a pretty powerful beast. Once you get past all the runtime errors and pyobjc bridge troubles, that is…

Also, the setup of this site as a portfolio with a blog appended is feeling like the wrong focus, now that I haven't done much graphics work to speak of for a long time. Oh well, that's what RSS feeds are for ;)
