It you drag a file to the Yojimbo it will be copied to the Yojimbo

The idea with Yojimbo is that the file in the database *replaces* the
original file in your file system. Throw out the original file once
it's in your database and no disk space is wasted.
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.
The idea with Yojimbo is to just not crash in the first place (prevent
fires rather than put them out). It seems stability is a serious
problem with SOHO Notes, at least according to reports on
VersionTracker and MacUpdate. Yojimbo, on the other hand, is extremely
reliable. Are there any known cases of irrecoverable database
corruption? Not that I'm aware of.
I would like to avaid as much as possible some prioprietary database
format risk in the future.
Yojimbo uses an SQLite database to store its information, not a
proprietary format. So even if Yojimbo suddenly vanished from the face
of the Earth in a puff of smoke, you'd still be able to get your
information out. And, even if Bare Bones Software suddenly decided to
stop developing Yojimbo, you'd at least have your current version, so
you could simply export your data to get your original files back.
