osx - OS X Mavericks: How to synchronously invoke Finder's 'Tags...' editor from a script -


i developing automator action gets invoked hotkey finder. in action user shall (interactively) edit tags of finder selection (screenshot), post-processed action:

on files=<finder selection> open 'tags...' overlay window wait until 'tags...' overlay window closed process files (by shell script, apple script, whatever) 

enter image description here

while can trick (more or less successful) finder ui scripting or other hacks showing 'tags...' overlay, have no clue how wait until finished. (waiting file change not option, user may cancel tag editing.)

or maybe there other file tag editor available use purpose? openmeta tags use tagger, afaik not support mavericks tags.

apparently, recent version of free tagit utility ironic software (the openmeta maintainers) writes both, openmeta , mavericks tags. 1 can invoke synchronously script open -w -a tagit <file1> <file2> <...>.

nevertheless, prefer finder 'tags...' editor.
