Re: Alternatives for massive PDF collection
On 11.04.2007 17:17 Uhr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just started using Yojimbo and organizing my PDFs is just one of the main reasons I bought the programm. Reading about the need to switch to another application for massive PDF collections, does not please me. My question is, what sizes are we talking about, that you consider a pdf collection as massive ??? My databse is just 55 MBs. To be honest, I'm not sure what the fuss over PDFs is all about. My Yojimbo library contains over 2000 PDFs, with sizes ranging from a few K to 25+ MB, and I don't have any problems. My whole Yojimbo library is 9063 items and right at 4 GB in size. I'm not coming close to this database size, but I don't have any problems with pdf files either. Counting 727 lucky pdf files at the moment with sizes of up to ~30MB, making up a db size of roughly 400MB. Since I do remember the following message from not too long ago, I don't know why things should have changed by now? Given that my Yojimbo database is 8942 items and 3.1 GB, I sometimes suspect that I might be asking Yojimbo to do more heavy lifting than is necessary. :) My approach has pretty much been if it can go in Yojimbo, it goes in Yojimbo. That's how it was designed, and that's how I use it. You can find the whole thread at http://www.listsearch.com/Yojimbo/Message/index.lasso?3206.

Pipe Mail to Yojimbo V 17
There are two main reasons for this revision: * To alert users that text will not import for some rich text messages with attachments. In these cases, AppleScript's content of message operator returns only variants of ??. The suggested work- around is to forward the message to yourself after deleting the attachments. * Version 16 gave an uninformative Applescript Error Message if no messages were selected. This has been fixed. Other changes: * The name-content separator in Comments is changed form ___ to ---. This, to my eye at least, makes the Comments line more readable. * Some typos are corrected and the code is tweaked. * The notes are revised. Please read them. Script Follows below next line: __ (* enhanced script to pipe selected Apple Mail messages to Yojimbo notes Author: Steve Samuels ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) File: yojimbo17.txt PipeMailtoYojimbo.scpt Version : 17 Date: 2007/04/13 Besides importing messages, the script: * Adds to message Comments: 1) the date sent (/mm/dd) 2) the name or address of sender or recipient 3) the first 60 characters of the message itself it, after removing returns, tabs, and most extra spaces. (The number of characters can be reset in Script Editor.) * Adds tags: email either in or out After running the script, a Comment will look something like: 2007/04/08 : NYTimes.com _Your subscription is up soon. Please rene (an incoming message) or 2007/04/09 : Sam _I can't believe that you won the lottery(an outgoing message) * MAJOR ISSUE: THE MESSAGES OF CERTAIN RICH TEXT DOCUMENTS WITH ATTACHMENTS WILL NOT IMPORT. THE MESSAGE CONTENT WILL SHOW AS ??? OR SOMETHING LIKE IT. IF THIS OCCURS, FORWARD THE MESSAGE TO YOURSELF WITHOUT ATTACHMENTS. * Notes: 1. Graphics are removed and shown as question marks, e.g. ?? 2. A message is classified as outgoing if the sender's address matches one of the user's addresses. If an account has been deleted, there is no address to match, and all messages in the account will be classified as incoming. To fix this behavior, create and inactivate a dummy account. Only the email address must be correct; the other settings are irrelevant. 3. You can reset the number of characters that are added to comments from the body of the message. The setting statement appears just after the on run command at the start of the script proper. Zero is a possible entry. 4. If you have selected messages in more than one Message Viewer, the script transfers only those from the Viewer that was opened first. 5. Changing the font of Yojimbo's item list may make the the list more readable. (I now use Lucinda-Grande Bold 11) .

Re: Key Missing Features
Daniel Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED] sez: [...] 1. Full Synchornization: when I sync Yojimbo between my laptop and desktop, only data is synchronized. My tags and collections are not-- Yojimbo's syncing does encompass the properties of all items you've stored including comments, labels, tags and collections. Only display and preference choices related to the app on the machine where it's run (e.g. window sizes, column widths, collection icon size, which smart collections are shown) are not synced. Aside: as rich as Cocoa/ObjC is, it is a monolithic architecture tied to one minority platform and I shun it for that reason alone. [...] There are many places where matters of platform and architecture are apropos regularly discussed, but these are not specifically germane to Yojimbo. 2. Hierarchical categorization: why is there just one 'flat file' level to the folders and collections? You have a powerful search which pierces to most arcane and labyrinthine of hierarchies and categorizations? So why http://www.listsearch.com/Yojimbo/Message/index.lasso?811 3. HTMl Export: I use Yojimbo to make notebooks on subjects I am researching, projects I am outlining, and to collect data for reference. As the Yojimbo data base grows it becomes ungainly and when a topic is complete and mostly read-only, I'd like to be able to export it to HTML to host it on my local web (built in to OS X Users account) for easy reference in a read-only mode. If you can provide any specific example(s) along these lines, please do submit a suggestion to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that we can log it for future consideration.

Re: Refresh / Update / Reload Web Archive
Ive also asked for this and got nothing either so I thought doing via Ruby / OSA would do the trick but ended up w/ a corrupt record in SQLite. +1 for this feature. - Jon On Apr 13, 2007, at 6:59 PM, Patrick Gilmour wrote: Boo Hoo.

Sorry, the reply delivery truck got delayed by yesterday's slush storm and just showed up @ the loading dock this evening... :-) On Apr 11, 2007, at 11:47 AM, Patrick Gilmour wrote: I have several online timetables stored as Web Archives that now need to be updated as the timetables have changed.

You'll need to return to that URL, create a new web archive, and (if desired) delete the old one. Please bear in mind that web archives are *not* browsers :-) but instead are essentially static documents like PDFs--just with a different emphasis on how their content is rendered.
