I should add that I've tried deleting the file, restarting, and rebuilding the
Spotlight database, all to no effect.

Okay, so the urgency has subsided. I restored my user's Library folder using
Time Machine from a time before
downloading omtool, and all is working now.

Well, I don't know what happened. Knowing I could restore from Time Machine if
anything went wrong, I've tried
omtool again, and no problems with the Finder have appeared this time around.

I figured out what went wrong here. It wasn't connected with omtool, but rather
OpenMetaSpotlight.mdimporter, and it isn't a bug with OpenMeta, but with Finder.
In specific, I installed the mdimporter directly (copied it out of Tagit and
put into /Library/Spotlight) so that I
could create Smart Folders using the "Tags" criterion. For ease of use in the
future, I set Finder to always show
the Tags criterion in the list that pops up when choosing the criteria type
("Kind", "Last Used Date", etc.) so
that I wouldn't have to open the palette to choose among all criteria types.
Later in the process of playing
around with OpenMeta, I removed the mdimporter. When I tried to open a Smart
Folder, Finder apparently
tried to find the "Tags" criterion for the list of available types and when it
failed (no mdimporter was installed
to supply that criterion) it broke the entire criteria slice system for Smart
Folders.

Thanks for the info. I will close this, then.
