Grabbing a bunch of tags

Whilst I understand you might wish to be able to export tags to Finder metadata, if this were possible many would need to turn it off rather than create a mess in Finder. Thus again, this would need to be an option, though at this point a feature request you may want to make.

If this feature request been made, I second it.

I have started using @pat’s great Publish from Tinderbox to DEVONthink My only problem with it is that my tagging system gets broken due to Tinderbox not exporting #Tags to Finder tags.
I read and highlight in MarginNote. This app exports quotations with #tags in their text body to rtf files with Finder tags. When those files are grabbed from DEVONthink into Tinderbox the #Tags attribute is automatically filled. I think it would make sense to equally convert #Tags in the opposite direction.

If you want to pass $Tags data to finder, I suspect you could use runCommand() to call osascript and then hook an AppleScript to set the data.

I agree that Applescript or probably xattr can be a solution. I understand it is not discussed in the posts below how to implement it. Has it been implemented by any other user who can advise on how to do it?
