Re: Using Applescript to find an existing yojimbo note...

2008-01-19 Thread Michael Heinz
If it matters, I got the same error as Alan, but I chose to wrap it  
with the try/on error/end try block that I was already using.

In my testing here, this causes an error (in Script Debugger) when  
no

such item exists.


Just for reference, I tested my version with Yojimbo 1.5 on Mac OS X
10.4.11 using Apple's Script Editor 2.1.1 (AppleScript 1.10.7), and  
no

error occurs when an item named by mytitle does not exist. Perhaps it
is a Script Debugger issue?


I should have offered similar clues -- sorry.

I'm using Yojimbo 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.1. I get the same error in  
Script Editor 2.2 (Applescript 2.0) as I do in Script Debugger 4.0.8.


Yojimbo got an error: Can’t get note item 1 whose name = Friday,  
January 18, 2008. Invalid index.


Let's blame Apple, shall we? ;-)


Whatever works!


That's my motto!

Create a Receipt Organization Workflow

2008-01-19 Thread Travis Vocino

Hello there,

Not sure if the list/admins are interested but I thought I'd share a  
recent post I made about how I'm using the very awesome Yojimbo:


http://vocino.com/productivity/create-a-receipt-organization-workflow-in-macos/581/

Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to make the process more  
streamlined, easier, or just random tips/tricks, I'd love to hear them.


Best,

Travis

.mac sync

2008-01-19 Thread Jeff Schmitz
While I was able to do an initial sync between two Leopard macs with  
my .mac account, it doesn't seem to update now.  I just did a sync on  
my source mac, then synced my other mac, and even told it to reset  
it's data to .mac, but I didn't get any changes from the source mac,  
including new notes and new categories.  When a hard reset doesn't  
even work, what can I do next?


Note that my login name on the two macs are different, but they are  
both using the same .mac account.


Thanks,
Jeff

I've been trying to figure out just that same thing.

I haven't been able to get it to work.  I'm planning to try
SyncTogether from MarkSpace.  The current beta is apparently Leopard
compatible.

Some day .Mac syncing won't suck.  I hope I'm still alive to see it.

Write barebones support, they have a procedure that will fix the  
problem.


My experience with Sync and Yojimbo is that it works, and works well,  
most of the time. However, I've had several incidents where the sync  
failed, and left the entire process so corrupted that Apple's reset  
function was unable to reset the mechanism. I've thrown so much time  
down a black hole with this, its sad. The fix that Bare Bones provided  
has worked, but it allows very little leeway - follow it to the letter.


Good luck,
b

P.S. While I was able to use sync successfully for nearly a year, I've  
had enough problems with it that I dare to suggest that its not  
especially robust (on Apple's end, not Bare Bones) for large data  
sets. My library was several hundred megabytes, and while incremental  
changes over time worked flawlessly, a full reset would always time  
out on re-upload. My DSL upload speed isn't especially fast, so that's  
certainly part of it. I've chosen to use Yojimbo sync for smaller  
items, and have moved larger mobile data sets to a keychain flash  
drive. Its not as elegant, but then neither is wasting hours trying to  
troubleshoot broken sync sessions.
