Re: hmm, weird scratch sound on Yojimbo search and subsequent boots

Re: Time Machine?

From the information presented there it is apparent Time Machine's granularity is at the file level. That is, Time Machine will copy any changed file in its entirety rather than incrementally. Note, it is only changed files that are copied. Unfortunately this is completely true. I believe Yojimbo has some internal file-based handling of Yojimbo items - it's iSync compatible after all - but I believe this to be a completely separate issue and, correct me BB if you may, I don't think moving away form the database file is not such an easy task. I hope it will happen tho. Luckily my database is less than a MB in size as I don't store PDFs and stuff in there, so I can handle the 24 MB it takes daily. Also, if you consider the Time Machine backup schedule, this is 30 + 24 Yojimbo changes backuped at most per day. My database has nearly 800 MB, steadily growing. Several other similar apps like Yojimbo don't work with a database but with single files. I guess it's possible to move away from the database, the first convert would be maybe somehow problematic. I'm not a developer but if I see it right then the functionality of Yojimbo would be kept with single-files (please in normal formats - keep a pdf a pdf and txt a txt and so on) and an extra index-file (shouldn't be that big, should it?) for the internal Yojimbo-search. If I would use Time Machine right now my database would be backed up several times a day and even a 500GB or bigger harddisk (base harddisk is 250GB) would be really fast full and Yojimbo would be the culprit that blocks the whole incremental thing because the database is so big… Niels -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

That is working on the symptom, which came up through the combination of Yojimbo and Time Machine and not working on the problem… No, it's being realistic. :) Time Machine works the way it does, and Yojimbo works the way it does, and neither will or should change. If there is any problem, I see it being with Time Machine having its default backup interval (1 hour) being _way_ too short. Well…when I work 1 hour can be even too long when I look at the idea of Time Machine: Giving me regular backups, if not even versions of files I work with. Something like a local SVN made user-friendly. When I work on papers, translations or presentations (and I won't talk here about stuff that goes into development-directions) 1 hour can be even too long. But that's my point of view - right now Time Machine has an even different problem (a clone-like backup is not possible and a nearly full 250GB-HDD cannot be even save once to a 250GB-HDD but that is another topic). Maybe I just should look once again on alternatives with Time Machine now additionally in mind (besides slow upcoming new versions, tags not in Spotlight integrated - something that shouldn't be hard to implement but I think I wait now for over 6 months and longer). The advantage over any similar product called sync is not so important anymore to me.

A question about synchronizing and amounts of data
Hi! Right now my iMac is in the workshop and I have to use the laptop of my girlfriend when I need a computer. Because every news-article that could be important in the future goes into Yojimbo there'll be a lot of stuff to sync down to my iMac when it got repaired. Now my question: When I sync stuff to .mac, delete it later and do a sync to .mac again. What will be synced from .mac? Will there be everything synced with the notion has to be deleted or will the deleted stuff vanish from .mac as well and only stuff gets synced from .mac that isn't deleted in the Yojimbo on my account of my gfs computer?

Re: Text Highlighting
On 3/20/07, Derek Hardwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all, snip Anyhow, one feature which would really be useful would be a (better) way to highlight text in Yojimbo. Currently I have to define a highlight style in TextEdit, which I can then apply to some selected text. This means either showing the ruler and selecting my style, or selecting some previously highlighted text and copying the style, and then using command-option-v to paste the style. This works, but is hardly ideal. It would be great if there could be a key-sequence (toolbar item?) which would highlight text. The key-sequence is the key part, it would be nice to highlight text just as you would underline or italicize it. Of course, all it would be doing is applying a pre-defined style, so users could always change the color or other style characteristics. This shouldn't be too tricky to implement, and I think it would be a welcome addition for every student who organizes notes with Yojimbo. PDF highlighting would also be great (SUPER-great) but I understand there are all sorts of technical issues with that :) Would be great to be able to highlight/add notes to web-archives as well. For PDFs maybe the stuff the Skim-people (skim-app.sourceforge.net / open source) use, could be used.

If you have it available: Use Syncrospector to unregister Yojimbo from Sync Services (do that on all machines) - Syncrospector is a free download for all ADC-members (even for the ones with the free membership) 3. Copy the good database to the other machines. 4. Switch on sync on the good machine 5.

Get your machine on a stable internet connection (no wireless - use an ethernet cable) 8. take your other machines back to sync 9. Open ~/Library/Logs/Sync/dotmacsync.log 10. when you are asked if you wanna replace/merge - say replace and have a look at the changes in the look. When the sync doesn't get through complete, sync again.
