unwanted nested label colors
Is there a way to remove label colors via the command line...
I have a collection of images that have been labeled with various colors in deeply nested folder and was thinking if I could do recursive command via the command line I could simply remove all the label colors.

You can't currently access the metadata from the command line (unless you write a program to do so).
Perhaps there is a bit of software on the web that can do this.

cat file.foo/rsrc will get you the resource fork. It's an invisible directory attached to each file with such a fork.
rm file.foo/rsrc will blast away the resource fork completely and indiscriminately. This may or may not be what you want.

Actually, you can to some degree.

I only have separate resource files on AFS emulators.
(.rsrc, ._filename, .AppleDouble...)
From the OS X terminal prompt I can't see the resource fork as per above. Do I need a different shell?

Open up the folder that's at the root of all the other folders and images. Press apple-2 to switch to list view. Press apple-a to select everything, then apple-right arrow to open every folder. Keep pressing apple-a followed by apple-right arrow until every folder is open. Then press apple-a one more time, right-click on something, and remove all the labels at once.

Nope. Like I said, they're invisible. You won't *ever* see them, but you can access them as I outlined above.
Excellent tidbit of info.
