This script exports tags/keywords and comments managed by Ironic Software's Yep application to native OS X tags & Finder comments Tested with Yep version 1.8.0 See: http://www.ironicsoftware.com
Yep versions 1.x store metadata in a plist file. This script reads the file and exports the metadata to OX X tags (Yep tags) and Finder comments (Yep description),
Newer versions of Yep already store metadata using OS X extended attributes but I much preferred the interface of the "legacy" Yep app which aimed to be "iPhotos for PDFs." If you use Yep 2.x+, you don't need this script.
I still use Yep 1.8.0 to manage many thousands of document but as an unsupported 32-bit app, it's days are numbered (Yep 1.8.0 released ~2008).
This script future-proofs all the metadata I've got stored in Yep and makes Yep files play well with the Finder & Spotlight.
I run the script with following options:
yep2tag --lctags --overwritetags -q --addtag=yep
I recommend using pipx
pipx install --spec git+https://github.com/RhetTbull/yep2tag.git yep2tag
or install using setup.py:
python setup.py install
