Re: Attach a file?
Oh, one other thing. If the email with your registration code or file lists an URL where you can automatically retrieve the file if it's lost, that's another good thing to put in your Yojimbo note. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Attach a file?
I realize some folks might resent a suggestion of a non-Yojimbo answer for this but I offer it only because it has been such a help to me. Yes, I too would like some increased flexibility for licenses, as I've gotten not just files, but now an image file (1Password). Before I used Yojimbo for this I had another way of keeping track of them. I created an email account (IMAP) and whenever I got a new license code, I forwarded the message to that email address. When I was setting up a new computer or hard drive or whatever, I could easily get the codes via webmail or by pointing my mail client at the IMAP account. Since it was IMAP (not POP3) I didn't worry about the messages getting removed from the server. Now I have a GMail account and have a special label I use for registration codes. This was especially handy when I was reinstalling software and tried to launch Yojimbo only to be told that my Yojimbo demo had expired -- so I couldn't get my Yojimbo license code out of my Yojimbo database. For what it's worth, I find that a little effort on the front end (label it / forward it AND add it to Yojimbo) helps a lot. Now that some of them are files instead of codes, I add a Serial Number in Yojimbo which says See GMail Oh, and just for completeness, I keep those license-code-files in ~/Documents/License Codes/ which is backed up to iDisk :-) TjL -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Attach a file?
I store my serial numbers (and everything else except web archives) in text notes because I find Yojimbo's force-fed record types too constricting as this case highlights. I also store passwords in encrypted text notes even though this adds a layer of annoyance because Yojimbo doesn't encrypt the comments section of a password record and these days passwords often have other sensitive data associated with them. For example, I find that the annoying secret question password retrieval hints need to be recorded because I can't remember the answers to the silly questions. So I store those in Yojimbo but I don't want them stored unencrypted in the comments section. So I store everything in a text note and use collections to organize them. --Rhet On 1/26/08, Jeff Berg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jan 26, 2008, at 10:37 AM, Rhet Turnbull wrote: This is do-able with a text note in Yj however Unfortunately, dropping the file into the notes section of a Serial Number record results in copying the file path, not a copy of the file.

Re: Attach a file?
Very well said, David. I think I'll start adopting the same practice, as I despise these license files. I do much as you do in Yojimbo when I have one. I also keep my serial numbers and passwords in text files as opposed to the built-in forms.

With each new application that adopts *only* the license file option, I've been writing a polite but firm letter to the developer indicating my displeasure at the inconvenience of the method - particularly if the developer doesn't use an automated (and immediate) method for resending the license file. I've also taken to looking at competing products, when they exist, and informing the developer that this is an unwanted feature that can push me toward the competing product. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.
