Re: Change Tag names?

I just joined the list and have not seen prior messages on this, so maybe the following misses the mark. But . . . I seem to have just changed tag names. I sorted by tag, selected all tags of the type I wanted to change, opened the inspector, and changed the tag in the info section. When I closed the inspector, the tags were indeed changed. Tag names do not seem to be immutable. I don't think so. What you describe is effectively deleting a tag and replacing it with another. Try the following. Do as you indicate above but select only one item with a tag you want to change. Notice when you complete your set of actions above, the tag for the one item you had selected is changed but none of the tags for any other item which had the same tag have been changed. If you were truly changing the name of an existing tag, a change to that tag on one item would affect all other items. But as you can see, this does not occur. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Programs that require serial numbers to be entered to access all of there feature almost always keep the serial number somewhere on your hard drive unencrypted. You really gain no security by having Yojimbo encrypt serial numbers.

Re: User-Created Smart Collections?

Tag Collections require me to tag the files, but I'd like to create Smart Collections that list files based on the same criteria I use to search the Yojimbo library. Currently, there is no provision for a user to create smart collections. Collections are static and don't change unless you specifically drag an item to/from the collection. OTOH, tag collections are dynamic. Simply adding one of the tags being grouped by a given tag collection to an item will cause that item to appear in the tag collection. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Yojimbo news?

Can anyone reveal whether there's an update on the horizon anytime in the near future? Many potential features have been discussed here, and I can only hope that some of these might make it into a future release of Yojimbo. Any news, anyone? Barebones has a standard policy of essentially saying nothing about future releases or what features they might contain for any of the software they create. Anyone that really knew what a future release of Yojimbo would look like and said something here would undoubtedly be in violation of either their terms of employment at Barebones or in violation of a NDA with Barebones in the case of beta testers. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

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. This seems to work.

Re: Boolean searches solved with Spotlight in OS X 10.5.2?
On 2/21/08 at 9:10 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Allan J. Tsai) wrote: There have been a couple of archived messages requesting boolean operators in the Yojimbo search. Has this facility changed at all with 10.5.2? If the Yojimbo search used Spotlight technology, maybe it allows boolean searches now? No. Yojimbo is compatible with Spotlight in that I can use Spotlight to do a search to find a Yojimbo item using Spotlight. But Yojimbo doesn't use Spotlight to search its database. On a related note, can boolean searches be run on Yojimbo notes through the Spotlight window? Any Yojimbo item that can be searched using Spotlight, i.e., that is indexed by Spotlight can clearly be found using a boolean Spotlight search. Unfortunately, even if such a feature works I'm still on 10.4.11 and won't be upgrading anytime soon. But it helps to know so I can decide whether to submit a feature request. Spotlight is more useful in Leopard than it was in Tiger. But the relationship between Spotlight and Yojimbo has not changed from Tiger to Leopard as far as I can determine. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: More about how I use Yojimbo
On 5/6/08 at 5:26 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (The reason David Allen recommends a simple A-to-Z filing system as part of the GTD method, it seems to me, is less about ease of retrieval and more about ease of filing. For me, this is where Yojimbo excels. With the current model, I don't need to give any thought to the filling system. Simply tag the item with something simple and let Yojimbo stick the item in the Library. If you're in the middle of a productively heated bout of planning and you have to give every item even twenty or thirty seconds of thought and preparation before you can file it, you'll start putting things in a To be filed pile, so as not to break your flow of thought, instead of filing each item immediately. The point isn't to put thought into your filing system so that you can find things again easily; the point is to make the filing effortless so you'll do it for each item right away the very moment you generate it, For me, this is exactly the issue with nested folders. I have to think about where an item should go which takes more thought than simply adding a one or two word tag to the item. and if that means that when you're retrieving it you have to look in a couple of wrong places first because you can't remember whether you filed something under Banana cream pie or Desserts or Recipes, big deal, it's nowhere near as big a drain on your system as it is to let a To be filed stack pile up. This is debatable. There is a time cost with either method, the time I spend looking for an item that I just don't recall where I put it versus the time going though a group of items to be filed and filing them. I think which costs more time for a given individual will depend on the individual. The fact is, whether you use tags liberally or not, the fear that you're going to lose a file forever is 99% illusion. The only way you're really likely to lose a file forever is if there's a software glitch or a hardware failure that destroys the file; if you stay backed up, the worst that's likely to happen is that it may take you three or four tries to find your file instead of one.) Depending on the size of your hard drive, the number of items you store etc, this could easily be more than three or four tries. Given a sufficiently large drive with a sufficient number of files, a misplaced item could be effectively lost. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.
