I am now also looking at EagleFiler from C-command Software, Michael Tsai the SpamSieve developer. So far, it looks awesome, but appears to lack encryption like Yojimbo has. I am just wondering if any of you folks here have tried/used EagleFiler and if so, what your opinions are. Thanx in advance, John I tried out EagleFiler for a while, attracted by nested folders and the ability to store pretty much any file type, but in the end I ended up thinking why am I not just using the Finder and Spotlight here? I am fairly disciplined with my project folders anyway, and EagleFiler was just an extra step between creation or receipt and filing that was getting in the way. Write a new script or make a new texture... right, that's ready... oh bother it, now I have to import it into EagleFiler as well. I ended up leaving things on the desktop to be filed which is not a good result. I found the tagging system inconvenient (all tags have to be pre- declared) and the fact that you can't import bookmarks or weblocs was irksome. It does lack file-level encryption, yes, another annoying part. In the end I did simply move back to using the Finder - though EagleFiler does make this incredibly easy, seeing as how it stores everything in folders anyway. I do know some people who absolutely love it mind you. Incidentally I have an ongoing mindmap with personal notes on a few different junk drawer apps (as well as other types) - http://www.mindmeister.com/maps/show_public/6347995 - including EagleFiler, Yojimbo and Notebook. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Tags in EagleFiler do not need to be pre-declared. You can type new ones directly into the field at the bottom of the window or in the Info inspector. EagleFiler imports bookmarks and weblocs and converts them to Web archives, which provide a content preview and text that you can search for. The Open Source URL command (or Option-double click) lets you open the live page in your browser, as with a bookmark. EagleFiler encrypts per-library rather than per-file. This lets it provide content searching of encrypted files, and it eliminates the security issue of having unencrypted data left on the disk after encrypting an existing item. Also, the metadata (title, notes, tags, URL, etc.) are encrypted in addition to the content. So there are reasons for the way EagleFiler works, and they're often about tradeoffs. Yojimbo and other apps make different decisions, for different reasons. -- Michael Tsai http://c-command.com -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Missing drop dock, hot keys

The hot keys are blank, and can’t be restored by clicking “restore defaults” I have a vague memory of reading that this means a florfed file somewhere. Any hints? How do you launch Yojimbo? If you launch it as a startup item, please quit and relaunch and this should clear up the problem. If not, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] so we can help. (The login issue is a relatively rare condition; I have a bug logged to work around the OS issue that triggers it.)
