True. This script is best suited to making a few isolated corrections. Ideally, you'd like each newly imported Yojimbo item to inherit the creation and modification dates of the Finder file it was imported from, correct? I think it would be feasible to write an import script that uses this script's code to automatically adjust the date of each imported item. so, to the yojimbo developers: will you consider adding, as a preference, the ability to inherit the creation dates of imported documents? If there's any indication that this is in the pipeline, I won't bother writing another script. Anyway, I did issue a minor update to the script yesterday that just performs a bit more validation on the format of the date text you enter.

Re: Reset all sync?

I have used the .Mac preferences to reset .Mac using data from one machine, but the other machines I use don't seem to honor the reset. They keep their own data, which then causes the problem again. I want to do something to get everything back in sync using one machine as the canonical source to begin with. I think Syncrospector is your friend. It's either included in the developer tools or you can download it independently as ADC-member (the free membership is enough for that) I'm not that sure about that.

I think it would be feasible to write an import script that uses this script's code to automatically adjust the date of each imported item. Here it is: http://anoved.net/2007/05/backdate-yojimbo-import.html When you run the script, it'll present a file browser. Choose the files you want to import. They'll be automatically backdated with the creation and modification dates of the actual files after they're imported. (As with the other script, you'll still need to restart Yojimbo before the corrected dates are visible.) Based on a bit more testing it seems that it is safe to edit backdated items before restarting Yojimbo. The modification date will be changed, of course, but the creation date will be untouched. Nevertheless, I still feel obliged to warn that these scripts use unsanctioned methods to do their deeds! Let me know how it goes.
