My question is, what sizes are we talking about, that you consider a
pdf collection as massive ???

My databse is just 55 MBs.


To be honest, I'm not sure what the fuss over PDFs is all about. My
Yojimbo library contains over 2000 PDFs, with sizes ranging from a few
K to 25+ MB, and I don't have any problems. My whole Yojimbo library
is 9063 items and right at 4 GB in size.


I'm not coming close to this database size, but I don't have any 
problems with pdf files either. Counting 727 lucky pdf files at 
the moment with sizes of up to ~30MB, making up a db size of 
roughly 400MB.
Since I do remember the following message from not too long ago, 
I don't know why things should have changed by now?


Given that my Yojimbo database is 8942 items and 3.1 GB, I 
sometimes suspect that I might be asking Yojimbo to do more 
heavy lifting than is necessary. :) My approach has pretty 
much been if it can go in Yojimbo, it goes in Yojimbo.


That's how it was designed, and that's how I use it.

I just need the tagging features, and some kind of searching 
features, so I can quickly find the correct document.



Check out TagBot http://204.9.184.47/software/. Looks like 
it's exactly what you need.

My PDF collection is a couple of Gigs.  Yojimbo will handle 55 MB's  
just fine.  I have syncing turned on, so it was more of an issue with  
Apple's .Mac syncing, than Yojimbo.   If I could even have a  
collection that I could say not to sync, and if the searching issues  
with large db's is fixed, then all would be fine for me, and no need  
to use two programs.


Also, the db that Yojimbo uses is built into OS X; sqlite.  I wonder  
how MySQL would compare to the speed of sqlite.


Good luck!

Best Regards,

Bruce

For me, it is syncing.  If I could turn off syncing, and put all my  
PDF's in one category, but have the other categories sync, I would be  
all set.  How fast is your searching with that size?  My sqlite size  
is 400MB, and searching takes a bit the first time.  It also seems to  
load a lot into memory.

Hi,

an application you could read much the last time is yep (http:// 
www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22022/yep).

Perhaps it will fit your needs.

Funny, I just started testing Yep out, and it looks like exactly like  
what I need.  Thank you so much.
