It you drag a file to the Yojimbo it will be copied to the Yojimbo database. In this case you have the same file twice on you hard disk right? Have you ever seen SOHO Notes app? In that app you can store symlinks not a raw files and then you have two pros: 1. You do not count you HDD space twice, 2. When your program database crashed or developer say that he doesn't want to develop this app anymore, you have your real file somewhere on the disk. I am just lookin for application which help you organize your digital life, but I would like to avaid as much as possible some prioprietary database format risk in the future. It sounds like you haven't tried the Add Hyperlink command I suggested. Drag a file from Finder the Add Hyperlink *dialog box* (or sheet). You get a link to the file, not a copy of it. Then you get things working the way you want. And the rest of this discussion becomes a moot point.

Re: How to store links in Yojimbo
Krzysztof M. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08-04-08 15.29 This part of menu is only active when you click inside the note or highlight some portion of the text inside the note to make it hyperlinked. So that why I am asking is it any different way to store file links inside Yojimbo separately not as a pointer inside the note? For example SOHO Notes does it pretty well. I don't know if this is what you want to do but ... + Create a bookmark in Yojimbo + Select the file you want link and drag it to the Location field + Add file:// to the beginning of the location field (And you could make an applescript that do this so you only drag drop on the applescript to get the link) jem -- Jan Erik Moström, www.mostrom.pp.se -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: How to store links in Yojimbo
The Add hyperlink menu item is never active (always grayed out), and I can't find Hyperlink in the help facility. What's missing?

Is it possible? Because without it, you can loose HDD space really quickly, because you have the same file in two places. What do you think about it? What in case when Yojimbo crash and I need access to my files without Yojimbo? Use the 'Add Hyperlink' menu item, then drag a file from Finder to the hyperlink dialog box. You get a URL for the file which is your 'symlink'. Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, this is a one one to put hyperlink for the file, but inside the note. But how to store only sybolic links to file instead of physical one and do not count my hard disk space twice? -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.
