-H, -L, -R switches not recognized

[Feuermurmel]

The man page specifies that e.g. either -H or --home can be used to limit searching of tagged files:

        -H | --home         Find tagged files in user home directory
        -L | --local        Find tagged files in home + local filesystems
        -R | --network      Find tagged files in home + local + network filesystems

Using --home works as expected:

$ tag --home -f Green
[…]/Desktop/test

But using --H instead gives an error (while still providing results):

$ tag -H -f Green
tag: invalid option -- H
[…]/Desktop/test

Im using v0.8.1 installed via MacPorts.

Indeed. It looks like I added those switches to the case statement but not into the accepted getopt_long characters. Thanks for the report.

[Feuermurmel]

Maybe it's worth noting, now that -R isn't actually part of the interface yet, that for a tool to change the attributes of file, -R is by convention used to say act recursively. Examples for that are chown, chmod, chatter or ls.

Maybe you could use -R for the shorthand of --descend. What do you think?

[jdberry]

I'm inclined to take your suggestion @Feuermurmel, and add -R as an alias for --descend. And I'm inclined to simply remove the -H -L -R flags as currently defined, requiring the long form for these parameters.
