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.
Hm for me it sounds little bit scary, but maybe you are right. I have
lots of PDF files, wich I want to tag, put some notes and clippings
from those files. Now my PDFs are in the directory with different
subdirs. What do you recommend to organize them inside the Yojimbo
app? Just import them as they are, or do some neat things? One comment
also on that, when I have all my files inside the database, I cannot
share them through my LAN over the different computers right?
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.
Yes it might be true. I like SOHO, at least I had a small amout of
time to play with this app, but I got some stability issues, that's
why I started looking for another solution ;-) Also one comment here
SOHO notes can import your Mail.app notes, but I am not sure that
Yojimbo can do such things?
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.
Is a way just to export everything at one time to a specified
directory for instance? Or put some specific files from inside the
Yojimbo database directly to the .Mac account?
