Automator searching labels rather than tags

Hi,
I'm having a problem with automator since labels changed to tags.
I have a few different tags on each file which I'll call Tag A, Tag B, Tag C, and Tag D. Tag A and Tag B are both orange, Tag C is yellow, and Tag D is blue.
If I have a file that should be Tag A and Tag D so I tag it with both tags. The file shows up like this:
When I use tags in finder it shows up in both Tag A and Tag D.
In automator if I search for Label = Orange it shows up, but when I search Label = Blue it doesnt show up.
My first question is can I search by tag instead of label in automator? Either using a plugin or script?
My second question is can I search for Tag A rather than Tag B? I say that because they are both orange but are distinguished by the tag name. What I usually do is search for Label = Orange and Any Content = Tag A.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Connor

Not for you, but for other users who need the answer (so please do not use my answer )
Use boolean operators (i.e. Tag:Green OR tag: Grey  NOT Tag:Blue)
For multiple tagged files use: Tag:Green AND Tag:Gray
mdfind can also be used:

    Thank you for this.
    I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
    I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
    I have stumbled to few bugs:
    1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
    I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
    2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
    3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
    - if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
    Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
    4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

  • How to put an asterisk in the field label rather than on the field in Infopath

    For a mandatory field in Infopath, we know that the red asterisk shows up always on the control. Is there a way we can make it appear on the label instead. 
    In the figure below, can we have the red asterisk on the label where ? symbol is present ?

    Hi Prajk,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to put an asterisk in the field label rather than on the field in Infopath.
    By default, the asterisk is on the field, not the field label. If you want to put an asterisk in the field label, per my knowledge, you need to develop the column to do it.
    For developing InfoPath controls, I suggest you create a new thread on Visual Studio Tools for Office forum, more experts will assist you with Office development.

  • HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

    Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
    Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
    Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

    You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
    Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
    Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
    If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

  • When I create a new tab it always presents a Yahoo search engine rather than my home page (Google). A new session of firefox does not do this but acts normally

    When opening a new tab, the 'homepage' presented in the new tab is a Yahoo homepage. If however, I open a new session of Firefox rather than a new tab, I get my normal Google homepage.

    For information about how to get rid of Yahoo see:

  • When I type a web address into the main bar, it takes me to search results rather than to the website as in Firefox 3. What can I do here?

    As stated above, when I would enter a web address in the main bar at the top of Firefox, the browser would go directly to that website (e.g., nytimes, or pcmag, etc...).
    Now it goes to a search results page, where I have to click on NY Times, or PC Mag, to get to the website. It is a two-step process instead of one!

    hello, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false''' in order to display the full url with the http://-prefix in the address bar...

  • How to import MP3 with file name into library, rather than tag?

    I've been given a CD with about 200 MP3s of lectures. They are to be listened to in order, and the file names reflect the order number, like "lecture 1", "lecture 2", etc. However, when I drag them all into iTunes, the names in the iTunes library don't include the file names - they are simply "lecture", which I guess must come from a tag in the MP3 file. So iTunes is ignoring the file name and thus I end up with 200 entries in my iTunes library that can't be ordered properly. How can I get it to use the file name when importing?
    Mike

    If you have your iTunes preferences set to keep your iTunes Music folder organized, it's possible that even the file names have changed according to the files' tags. In that case, you'll need to (at least temporarily) disable this option and import the files from your CD again.
    Once you're sure the files have been successfully added to your iTunes library and the file names kept intact, you can use the Filenames to Song Names script from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes.
    This should get everything sorted out.

  • Firefox always opens with a search box rather than my homepage.

    I have dragged the icon over to the homepage icon, and responded "yes" that I want to set it as my homepage. It always opens with a search box instead. http://www.searchqu.com/406 is the URL. How can I get it to use my homepage?

  • JAXB looking for tag type rather than tag name?

    Hi everyone.
    I'm trying to use JAXB to load an xml file, [http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml|http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml] . The schema is at [http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd|http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd] . I generate my classes using xjc with no problems. My unmarshalling code is simple enough:
    try {
        JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] {UnimodT.class});
        Unmarshaller um = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
        return (UnimodT) um.unmarshal(is);
    } catch (JAXBException ex) {
    }At first I got an exception saying that unimod (the top-level tag) is unexpected and that the expected element is (none). I solved this by adding the @XmlRootElement tag into my UnimodT class. Now I am getting a javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException :
    "unexpected element (uri:"http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2", local:"unimod"). Expected elements are <{http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2}unimodT>"
    I am guessing this means that it is looking for a <unimodT> tag while the actual tag name is <unimod>.
    This is how the xml file starts:
    <umod:unimod xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2 http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd" majorVersion="2" minorVersion="0">
        <umod:elements>
              ....and here is the fragment from the xml schema defining the root element:
         <xs:element name="unimod" type="umod:unimod_t">Other guesses I am having are:
    1) Maybe I should do something with the namespace, "umod"?
    2) The underscore in the type name is confusing xjc?
    Please help if you can. I am guessing it is something simple but I have no idea what.

    I seem to have solved my problem by adding the namespace and name of the tag on the XmlRootElement annotation:
    @XmlRootElement(name="unimod",namespace="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2")however I still don't understand
    1) why it's not enough to specify the name of the tag in the @XmlType annotation
    2) why the @XmlRootElement tag was not specified automatically
    I guess I should just be happy that it works now.

  • Searching phrases rather than just words in pdf files

    Does anyone know how this works? I am only able to search individuals words on large pdf files, but I need to search for key phrases. I know that in PC I can do this but I can figure out how to do it for Macs

    Then are you saying it's not possible to look for phrases in the search box in pdf files on macs?
    If this is a response to my example: Ex: lookfor+aphrase won't find looking for a phrase.
    then you are missing the point. Notice the word look with the plus and how it won't find the phrase +looking for a phrase+ because of the extra ing
    The entire phrase has to be an exact match.
    Another example:
    tobe+or+not+tobe won't find +to be or not be+ because the second to is not in the phrase.

  • Xfinity keeps defaulting to their search engine rather than google via Safari.  How do I disable xfinity search?  I am going crazy!

    It has always been a problem with xfinity defaulting to their own crappy search engine when I type into the Safari url line.  It is even worse now with Yosemite.  My default on Safari is set to google, but xfinity hijacks it.  I have been searching everywhere to find a solution.  I simply want to disable the xfinity search engine, but it is not simple!  Hoping someone here has had the same problem and was able to fix it.  Thanks!

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

  • Can I address a Hard drive by its volume label, rather than its letter?

    Hi All,
    I have a question about file paths... I'm building an instrument and have a spare USB port internally. I want to use that to attach a simple flash drive to give the system on-board storage. The system itself is run by a separate PC to which it connects via a USB interface (there's a USB hub internal to the system, hence the spare USB port).
    I've been able to format the USB flash drive and give it a label which shows up when the device is plugged into any computer. However, the drive letter associated with the device will vary from PC to PC since each PC may have a different number of drives already installed when I plug my system in. Is there a way to use my label to either address the flash drive directly, or at least to determine its drive letter within labview?
    Thanks for your help

    How did you "place it on the block diagram"? You can't just copy and paste, you have to save the snippet as a PNG file and drag that onto a BD.
    And, speaking of that, when I created that snippet, it seems to have gotten messed up saving it as the PNG. It won't work just as shown, the property nodes need to be directly from the numeric and slide indicators, not the generic nodes to the refnums. This time I'll just attach the VI.

  • Forest root domain displayed as network label, rather than child domain

    Following on from this post (which I stupidly contributed to without realising it's a gaziillion years old):
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/44cab27b-e2ef-4496-bfa7-add7ac014401/server-2008-and-windows-7-detect-their-domain-incorrectly-why?forum=winserverPN&prof=required
    I run a DMZ child domain which is pretty tightly locked-down, and the display name when you hover over the NIC shows the network as the forest root domain. None of the answers in the above thread state why this should be the case clearly, and a vague response
    from support saying that 'Product Group' (which one?!) have been asked for feedback was never followed up on.
    Since I can't open LDAP directly between my DMZ machines and the forest root PDC, and therefore can't even generate a profile to copy into a registry key & deploy either by GPO or batch file, I'm SOL finding a solution to this - but would at least like
    a viable explanation for the behaviour, as opposed to 'it's by design'

    Can I ask if something is not working correctly because of this?  The display of the connected network does not affect communication or how DNS will resolve.  Are you chasing this down because you don't like the display, or is there an outage?
    Thanks!

  • Sorting files by file name rather than ID Tags

    Some of my files have incomplete or missing ID Tags ( a lot of mp3's from vinyl) making sorting more difficult and I typically find it more usefull to sort by file name rather than ID Tag anyway. Does anyone know how to sort by file name?

    Aloha!
    While this is not possible in iTunes right now, I might be able to help.
    It sounds like you've taken care to ensure that your music is properly labeled. That should make it easy to use a third party app to tag the lot as a batch. I am aware of one application that folks around here seem to like called "Tag & Rename" that can build a set of tags for you from folder and file names. I believe it has (or had) a free demo period as well. Try a google search or check out sites like versiontracker and you will find several apps that can do the task for you.
    Once done, iTunes will be able to handle the collection that has apparently been with you for some time. Hope this helps you decide on a course of action.
