    This tar seems to crash stuffit on my Mac. Any possibility you can provide it as a zip?

    Looking forward to trying this out and thanks for all the hard work!

    I get a lot of stuff crashing stuffit on my mac... I downloaded EZ 7Z and have never had any problems with it. It's just a front-end to the command line gzip etc, so it's pretty solid.

    I was going through your documentation (very comprehensive!) and I was wondering if there is an example on how to use the tagging feature explained here:

    http://ditto.modxcms.com/files/assets/snippets/ditto/extenders/tagging-extender-inc-php.html

    I was trying this with not much success:

    Is 2.0 different?

    See the 0.9.6 demo content page "Blog" for a tagging example. After 2.0 is final I will release the screencast showing how to do it step by step.

    I looked here but didn't see any tags?

    I also did a forum search for 0.9.6 and got
    Your query was not specific enough. Try using larger words, or less common phrases

    Tried the EZ 7z app above and got this error:

    The MODx site is not running 0.9.6 nor is it running the demo content. You can get 0.9.6 RC1 from here: http://modxcms.com/beta.html

    Wow. Ditto just keeps getting better and better. I need to spend a weekend with it learning all the new tricks...

    I just installed 2.0 RC3 and I'm having a very tough time getting the filter parameter to work. It seems that if I add any filter at all (including &filter=`id,999,1` and any number of others I've tried) I get the no documents found text. If I leave the filter parameter out I get results for all the documents in my parent folder.

    What might I be doing wrong? I tried to use the debug console but I received a ksort parse error in the popup (with or without the filter param), which may be because this is 0.9.5 RC1. The filter class looks about the same as in previous versions (except for minor changes in syntax - thanks for the honorable mention btw...).
