Punakea 1.0.1

Punakea 1.0.1 is a free application that helps you cope with the day-to-day struggle of managing your files. Designed to complement Spotlight, it allows you to tag your files and bookmarks, freeing you of the strict hierarchy of the Finder's folder structure. A tag is like a keyword. Tags can help you to group files which have something in common. You can assign as many tags as you wish to each file.

With it's sidebar, it's always accessible with just a flick of the mouse, just drag and drop without any hassle. The tag cloud gives you a perfect view of all your tags.

Major Features:

1. Tag your files
   • Just tag your files with as many tags as you want and you will never be confined to your folders again!
2. Tag cloud
   • Let Punakea take care of your files
   • Punakea can even spare you the hassle of putting your files into folders at all. If you tell Punakea to do so, it will manage all the files you are tagging by putting them in a seperate folder, so you never have to worry about a cluttered desktop anymore! Of course, this can be switched on the fly, so even if you default to let Punakea manage your files, you can drop files without having them moved by pressing the option key while dropping.
3. Manage your bookmarks
   • Just drag the little icon left to the URL in your browser's address bar (works in Safari and Camino at the moment) to Punakea Sidebar and it will create a bookmark (.webloc file). Using the tag navigation, you can then open the bookmarks in your current favorite browser any time!
4. Spotlight Integration: Use spotlight to search for your tagged files! By keeping the tags in the files spotlight comment, spotlight is able to find your files right away, without even starting Punakea!

   • With Punakea, you have your tags always right where you want them, just a mouse flick away. Point your cursor to the edge of the desktop and the Punakea Sidebar will appear - ready for you to drop your file on your tags!
6. Quick tag access
   • You don't have to use the mouse to select a tag - use the cursor keys on your keyboard to freely navigate the cloud and press enter to activate the selected tag! But even so, the tag cloud can get a bit cluttered over the course of time. If you want to search for your tags, just start typing the first letters of it, you will narrow down on the desired one instantly
