New, renamed and modified files can trigger tagging in your chosen folders. Files must be available locally and finished being written before processing.
Does Taggy Tagger have to stay open?
Yes. Keep the app running for automatic tagging. Enable Launch at Login to start it when you sign in to your Mac.
Will it tag existing files when I add a folder?
