Re: How to store links in Yojimbo

It you drag a file to the Yojimbo it will be copied to the Yojimbo database. In this case you have the same file twice on you hard disk right? Have you ever seen SOHO Notes app? In that app you can store symlinks not a raw files and then you have two pros: 1. You do not count you HDD space twice, 2. 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. I am just lookin for application which help you organize your digital life, but I would like to avaid as much as possible some prioprietary database format risk in the future. It sounds like you haven't tried the Add Hyperlink command I suggested. Drag a file from Finder the Add Hyperlink *dialog box* (or sheet). You get a link to the file, not a copy of it. Then you get things working the way you want. And the rest of this discussion becomes a moot point.

Re: Happy with Yojimbo the way it is!

PLEASE!!! How refreshing, thanks Luis. :-) I'm also another very satisfied Yojimbo user. When I first started using it, I was creating collections and diligently filing new items. I never use collections now. The search field is way more flexible and very quick. I just add items to Y and trust they will be there when I need them. The content/indexing of items is generally enough to search on (for bookmarks I will often grab the first paragraph of the page to add to comment field). And even though I was using tags religiously, I've even stopped doing that expect for rare circumstances. Yojimbo is my knowledge base, and I've never had any trouble finding info I need. Well, that's not true, I have had problems but it's my own fault for not having moved everything from DevonTHINK yet. So if it's info from that long ago, I fire up DevonTHINK, find the info I was missing, and add it to Yojimbo. And for everyone else who feels they MUST continue asking for the kitchen sink, Please read the last two lines of the sig on every message on this list. I want to use this list to learn how to better use the program we have, not speculate on how an excellent program can maybe improve marginally.

This would not add any complexity whatsoever for those who like Yojimbo the way it is--they can simply continue using one monolithic library--but it would add an order of magnitude of usefulness for me, and I suspect for others as well. There is another software package, can't recall the name of it right now, which will manage multiple prefs/databases/whatever for programs that are not designed around 'documents'. You should be able to use that to have multiple databases for Yojimbo.
