Re: The Real Issue With Nested Folders and Multiple Databases.

I’m not saying it doesn’t exist or can’t be part of a larger organizational system. I just think this method can easily (and often does) break down when a second user is introduced to the system. There's a reason that *correct* has *quotes*. :-) You are of course right that hierarchical systems can and do (often) breakdown. I'd argue that that is because they are arrived at too quickly. In order to be stable they must pick out real relationships and groupings. (I should have emphasised this.) Just examine the history of zoology or botany for plenty of examples. (Is a whale a fish?, and all that...) Also, I didn't realise Yojimbo was a multi-user product. :-) (*See : “Ambient Findability” by Peter Morville and “Keeping Found Things Found” by William Jones) Thanks for the reference. I'll check it out. May I suggest Aristotle's Categories in an attempt for balance. BTW, I am a big fan of tagging -- for all number of reasons -- and, even when things are in their *correct* folder, how do I locate things? Spotlight of course. :-) Have a good weekend.

Re: Automatically Open PDFs In Other Applications
Hi Peter, The Item menu shows a View with Preview option when a PDF is selected. I don't know if you can attach a shortcut to it...

Yojimbo's viewer isn't the greatest. I know this can be done with a right-click (to open Preview), but I'd like to set it up to work automatically, like iPhoto's preferences can be set to open photos in an external editor, such as Photoshop.

Re: Happy with Yojimbo the way it is!
I see a lot of messages out there requsting Yojimbo did a lot of things it doesn't and I just want to tell the developers I'm quite happy with Yojimbo the way it is. I love Yojimbo as it is too! Perhaps it needs to say at the top of the viewer window, Not a replacement for Finder.app :-) -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

For example, the archive email to Yojimbo functionality is something a lot of people probably would use. But users who don't frequent this mailing list won't even know about it. On this, is there even a 'best of' links page that can direct the interested Yojimbo users to available resources?

Setting the External Editor
Hi all, I'm slowly getting the hang of Yojimbo. I've now discovered the option to view in an external editor. This by default is set to TextEdit. This is great for rich text but I quite fancy using BBEdit. Thus I have two questions: 1. (How) Is it possible to change the default external editor? (I searched the preferences, the help and the online FAQ with no luck.) 2. Since there is no 'make plain text' option, can I just ask will Yojimbo do horrible things to my BBEdit files when I import them?

Re: Applescript to Organize by Date?

Hi Chris, This wouldn't split your notes into three folders but, if you go to View Columns Date Created, you can add that column to the display. You can then click it to order you items, either one way or the other as the mood takes you. Hope this is helpful. Regards, Carlton
