Thanks. Now it just needs a recent pop-under that shows available tags
(like Epiphany)

I was thinking about having this dynamic based on the size of the

easier!).

I gave the entire bottom row to tags because I wasn't sure how many
tags most people associate with a file.  I don't think I've used
anymore than 2, but I thought it might look funny if it wrapped...even
more so now with a text entry and two buttons (when you're adding a
tag).

Sure..there's a method to do this already, I beleive.

that shouldn't be too bad..there's enough introspection information in
there that should make this pretty straight forward.  Is there any
error checking on tracker's end? ie, does it make sure that File.Rank
is an integer from 1 to 10?
