    <p>This does not cover tags, but for changing label colors, one way to do it is through a command like this:</p> <pre><code>xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo \ 0000000000000000000400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 myfile.txt </code></pre> <p>The <code>04</code> buried in the middle is setting the file color.</p> <p>Here is a python script which wraps that command lets you set the tag color on a file or series of files:</p> <pre><code>import sys import subprocess def colorizeFile(ColorName,FileName): ReverseTable = { "clear" : "01", "gray" : "03", "green" : "04", "purple" : "06", "blue" : "09", "yellow" : "0A", "red" : "0C", "orange" : "0E", "c" : "01", "a" : "03", "g" : "04", "p" : "06", "b" : "09", "y" : "0A", "r" : "0C", "o" : "0E", } HexString = 18*"0" + ReverseTable.get(ColorName) + 44*"0" Xcommand = 'xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo {0} {1}'.format(HexString,FileName) ProcString = subprocess.check_call(Xcommand, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,shell=True) if __name__ == "__main__": if len(sys.argv)&lt;3: sys.stderr.write(__doc__.format(sys.argv[0])) else: Cname = sys.argv[1] Flist = sys.argv[2:] for File in Flist: colorizeFile(Cname.lower(),File) sys.stderr.write("## Colorized {0} file(s) as {1}\n".format(len(Flist),Cname)) </code></pre> <p>Usage is:</p> <pre><code> labelcolor.py [color] *.jpg </code></pre> <p>where [color] is a name or abbreviation as defined below:</p> <pre><code> clear (c), grAy (a), green (g), purple (p), blue (b), yellow (y), red (r), orange (o) </code></pre>

    1. COthanks I tried out your script and it seems to work great for setting colours. Unfortunately when I asked the question I made the faulty assumption that the method for setting tags and colours would be handled in the same manor. I am mainly interested in setting a textual tag. +1 though for a useful and partial answer.

    2. COFor some reason setting tags doesn't work so well. I am using the method in the linked answer to put keywords that spotlight can search on. I think for more than that, I would recommend using AppleScript called from the command line with `osascript`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
