Or is there already a way to ascertain that?


Here is an AppleScript that will report how many items are tagged  
with each tag.


tell application "Yojimbo"
set tagList to {}
repeat with theTag in tags
		set tagCount to count of (every database item whose tags contains  
theTag)

set tagName to name of theTag
set end of tagList to tagName & ": " & tagCount
end repeat
choose from list tagList
end tell

Paste it into a new Script Editor document and click Run. After a  
moment, a list of tags and their number of uses will appear.


Unfortunately it doesn't seem very efficient. Does anyone have  
suggestions for making the script faster or more useful?


I agree it would be useful if this information was displayed in the  
tags preferences. Any other tricks for summarizing tag usage? I  
suppose you could just make a tag collection for each tag and look at  
the counts right in the Collections pane.

Ah, but the problem (for us) with that is that we want to share
calendars & contacts, so separate accounts are no good.


What we do in our house is cross-publish calendars. I tried all 
sorts of evil tricks to allow my calendars to be multi-writer, 
and they never worked out.


Same here, we publish some of our calendars to a server and 
subscribe to each other - not perfect but it has worked well for 
the last year or so.

I've been using Yojimbo since about the beginning and didn't know this

Re: warning on delete collection

[Steve Kalkwarf]

I'd like the option to have a warning when I attempt to delete 
a collection. It seems pretty easy to lose a lot of data with a 
keystroke when I am going really fast, and that might help.


Deleting a Collection doesn't delete any items referenced 
within. In addition, you can always Undo the delete.


Confirmation dialogs like that almost never prevent data loss. 
After seeing the dialog a couple times, people click the button 
without reading or thinking...

Curiosity

[infrahile]

Here's a weird little curiosity - I opened an Adobe Illustrator  
document just now (by double-clicking on it's icon in the Finder),  
for the first time since installing the recent 1.5 update, and rather  
than opening Illustrator my Mac decided that Yojimbo was a better  
choice and created a new Image entry with the file name as the title,  
although it seemed unable to read the file contents. Easily fixed  
with the Finder's 'Get Info', but odd none the less. I've not  
experienced this with any other file types, any idea what the cause  
might be…?


Cheers, T.

I have not tried it, but Leopard's address book allows sharing and

And for calendars, maybe BusySync would be useful - it lets you share  
calendars between multiple users. I've never used it myself though. http://www.busymac.com/

There is a way to do this, although not exactly how you described:

Create two users on a single Mac.

Sign up for a Family Pack .Mac account, which provides each person  
with sync storage.


As for blessing the concept of two or more users sharing a single user  
account on a single Mac, that seems unlikely to me, given that  
multiple user accounts and fast user switching are available.

It took me awhile to get used to the "one-bucket" system at first, but
once I did, it is now second nature. I prefer having everything in one
place now.

Re: newbie question

[Steve Kalkwarf]

Here's my question about Yojiimbo. If I'm understanding right, 
there's essentially only one database for the Yojimbo 
application. Even if I want to use Yojimbo to "catalog" stuff 
for several very different things, they will all be together 
when I open  Yojimbo. However, I can tag them separately to 
differentiate them. Are there other ways that I can keep the 
various mutually exclusive parts of my life apart in Yojimbo?


I've never managed to make any part of my life exclusive from 
any other part. :-)


If I'm surfing the web, and I find something related to work, I 
don't ignore it: I stuff it in Yojimbo for attention when I'm 
back on the clock. Likewise, if I'm at work, and somebody 
mentions a great movie I should see, I don't tune it out: I 
Yojimbo it.


One of the design principles behind Yojimbo was that you 
shouldn't have to switch "modes" (or documents) in order to 
enter data. In my opinion, having to decide which Library to put 
something in is too much decision making up front, and it 
reduces the chance you'll put the information into _any_ Library.


Tags are one way to let you split information up, and because 
tags add information to an item instead of segregating items off 
into separate compartments, you don't incur the "Where did I 
file that?" cost when you want to find an item again.


Collections are another collating mechanism, but depending on 
how you enter information, they can be awkward to use efficiently.

Re: formatting palette not showing

[Steve Kalkwarf]

The according menu entry is "Format -> Ruler -> Show Ruler". I 
am not a native speaker, but for me a "ruler" is not very intuitive.


The terminology comes from word processors. Originally, the 
"ruler" was used to set tab stops and margins. As time marched 
on, people started sticking things like justification controls, 
stylesheets, and other formatting things" into it.


If I hadn't seen rulers evolve over the years, I'd never think 
that "ruler" was the right word for that interface element.


For what it's worth, most English localized software will call 
it the same thing.

No matter what you use (collections, tags, labels): everything ends up  
in your one and only library. All that Yojimbo offers is different  
views, not separation of data.


You can use collections to logically separate items. But collections  
are not very useful if you use the quick input panel a lot. As you  
said, you can use tags. Neither way provides real separation of data.

It seems that the problem for me was a Service called PDF2RTFService.
Apparently PDF2RTFService spotlights a bug in 1.5. PDF2RTFService is
useful for the thing that it does, but Yojimbo is more important to
me. I archived PDF2RTFService and removed it, restarted, and Yojimbo
completely recovered.
