No real  advice from me. All I can say is that I have Tiger on my
desktop machine and Leopard on my laptop, I sync with SyncTogether
1.0.2, and Yojimbo items sync correctly between both machines. So
syncing between Leopard and Tiger is definitely possible.

This does not happen on my system (Yj 1.5) You can always do a
'command-S' (Save) on the Password item in question, if I remember
correctly there was an earlier version of Yojimbo which did not
automatically save certain kinds of items, I noticed it with Notes at
the time.

Just read on the Mark/Space site that a Leopard-compatible update for
SyncTogether is forthcoming:

https://www.markspace.com/leopard.html

Note: LAN syncing with SyncTogether is not without its problems
either, but my impression is that it is more reliable than .Mac
syncing.

Perhaps I should add that my environment was somewhat different: two
machines, both running Tiger, and syncing using SyncTogether and not
.Mac.

With this setup, I do have to repeat a Sync command every now and then
to make the changes show up. My (unscientific) impression is that
SyncTogether is somewhat better at syncing Yojimbo items than .Mac is.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with Leopard and there is no update in
sight yet.

Well, whatever you do, be sure to keep a backup copy of your good
library somewhere safe.

Good luck,

I very much doubt that I can give better advice than the Barebones
staff. However, if I were in your shoes, I would not try to fill the
empty libraries by syncing them. I would copy the 'good' library
manually to the machines that need them, reset any syncing business,
and start over with a clean slate. It's what I did before I started
syncing between my desktop and laptop.

What you could do is go to Yojimbo preferences, choose 'Tags' and try
to delete a tag. If there are items associated with a tag, you will
get a confirmation dialog; if the tag is not used anywhere it is
deleted immediately.

Re: SyncTogether? Another option...

[Jan Pieter Kunst]

2007/12/1, Patrick Gilmour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

[rsync]

I know about rsync; I use it at work to copy PHP files from my
development machine to the production server.

The essential thing about the syncing done with .Mac and Synctogether
is that it happens at the 'record' level rather than the file level
(Address Book cards, iCal entries, Yojimbo items). As Sebastian said,
rsync, being file-based, is not the right solution here.

That's a pretty disturbing error message.

For me SyncTogether works as advertised without problems (in 10.4).

SyncTogether is officially not compatible with Leopard (see
http://www.markspace.com/leopard.html) and as far as I can tell, its
future seems uncertain. I haven't tried to use it myself under
Leopard.

I don't know of any other options (besides .Mac) for syncing, and I
hope that SyncTogether will be updated for Leopard. I'm not counting
on it though.

I don't think sync operations require 'unlocked' Yojimbo items (I'm
using SyncTogether). As far as I'm aware, the encrypted items are
being synced without being unlocked.

Played with this a little more. It is indeed the case that other
applications unlocking the Keychain also unlock it for Yojimbo. So,
say, mounting a remote volume asks for your Keychain password; after
that Yojiimbo encrypted items are automatically accessible for 5
minutes or whatever the timeout value is.

I then tried to create a new Keychain specifically for Yojimbo, to
store just the Yj password. Unfortunately, that did not work. Yojimbo
apparently can only use the 'login' keychain.

Well, this indeed seems to work. It was not immediately obvious where
to find this setting in Keychain Access. It's not in Preferences, but
in the Settings for the 'login' Keychain (I guess that's what it is,
the one with the same name as your short user name). Select that
Keychain in the upper right pane of Keychain Access, then choose Edit
-> Change Settings for Keychain . Then you get a dialog box
where you can enter "Lock after x minutes of inactivity".

Jan Erik, you might want to look into this also...

That depends on what 'inactivity' means -- many programs use the
Keychain, so other programs could keep the Keychain unlocked, even
with Yojimbo inactive, I guess. I'll have to experiment with this.

Thanks for the tip,
Jan Pieter

Yes, I understand it now. I had my Keychain set to unlock
automatically after login. But if I set it to stay locked after login,
I only have to unlock it once and it will stay unlocked. So, when
using the Keychain for viewing Yojimbo encrypted items, I have to log
out and in again to "hide" my encrypted Yojimbo items after the
Keychain is unlocked.

I will send Barebones a feature request for more finegrained password control.

Yojimbo password

[Jan Pieter Kunst]

Greetings all,

I find that according to my taste Yojimbo either asks too often for my
Yj password, or not often enough.

1) If I uncheck "Allow Yojimbo to use the Keychain when viewing
encrypted items", Yj always asks for my password.

2) If I check "Allow Yojimbo to use the Keychain...", but NOT
"Automatically view encrypted items", Yojimbo never asks for my
password. Not after I log out and back in again, not ever after a
restart of my Mac.

I'm not sure if behaviour (2) is by design or if I'm misunderstanding
things. It seems strange.

Anyway, the way I would ideally want this to work is either a
sudo-like "password is valid for five minutes" behaviour, or a
Firefox-like "enter password once for a session", so that quitting and
reopening Yj would "lock" the encrypted items again.

Thanks for listening,
Jan Pieter Kunst

Everything works normally for me (Leopard install on empty partition,

Re: How do you remove default Collections?

[Jan Pieter Kunst]

2007/7/22, tedd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


For example, where in the Mac user interface guidelines is it suggested that:

View > Smart Collections > Serial Numbers

means that you can add/delete a folder? Normally, a checkmark is used
for an option, such as "Bold" on or off and not for a folder "here or
not here". Typically, such commands are under the
"New/Open/Close/Delete" divisions, are they not?

You know, a simple DELETE/REMOVE in the cog wheel would had been more
obvious. After all, you'll see "New Collection" there, why not
"Remove Collection"?


The checkmarks on or off for the Smart Collections mean 'Show' or
'Hide', as I see it, not 'New' or 'Delete'. To me the checkmarks are
perfectly appropriate, they denote the options of showing or hiding
the Smart Collections.

Re: In 50% of startups Yojimbo seems to crash

[Jan Pieter Kunst]

2007/6/17, Niels Kobschätzki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hi!

For a few days now I have the phenomenom that in ca. 50% of the
startups of Yojimbo, that a few seconds after the start the harddisk
begins to work a lot and Yojimbo doesn't respond anymore (rest of the
system works). Force quitting it helps. After force quitting and
starting it works as expected (hence: no problems).
Any ideas what the problems could be?

Niels



It could be catching up with syncs that happened before. It always
takes a while for Yj to become responsive again if its database has
been changed by a sync.

I don't think it has anything to do with the size of the DB. I think
it has to do with having really big individual items that for
whatever reason it can never complete a sync on.


For what it's worth, that is my gut feeling also. I have no problems
syncing (using SyncTogether) and I use Yojimbo as a repository for
lots of relatively small items. I store huge PDF's of complete books
in the file system, not in Yojimbo.
