Making items read only
Hello, I was wondering if there is anyway I could make an item(s) 'read only' to stop myself inadvertently changing some value like a password or login ID? I occasionally select copy values from Yojimbo to say Safari and have accidently blanked out the value by hitting a random key, thus overwriting the value as it was at that moment selected. I subsequently close Yojimbo without realizing I have changed the value. Unfortunately I can be clumsy with the keyboard sometimes. Cheers, Mike. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Applescript to get modified date of file selected in Yojimbo
Thanks Steve. It works. BUT it doesn't work if I try and re-name an item. When I click on an item and select rename (from the Ctrl+click menu) the script doesn't work. It only works if I am just selecting the item. Any ideas? What I am trying to do is get the modified date of the item and be able to rename the item by appending the modified date to the end of the filename (but before the file extension). I was trying to do it using a TypeIt4Me abbreviation - .e.g so that every time I typed ytag the item's modified date would be returned when I am renaming it.

If you want to get the modification date of an item in Yojimbo: tell application Yojimbo set selectedItem to selection set modDate to modification date of item 1 of selectedItem end tell EOM

I think you're mixing too many tools and gestures into the process. And to repeat myself: There are no _files_ in Yojimbo. However, if you want to rename an item using the date: on FormatDate(modDate) set dateString to ¬ (year of (modDate)) - ¬ (text -2 thru -1 of (0 (month of (modDate) as number))) - ¬ (text -2 thru -1 of (0 (day of (modDate) as number))) ¬ as string return dateString end FormatDate tell application Yojimbo set selectedItem to selection set itemTitle to name of item 1 of selectedItem set modDate to modification date of item 1 of selectedItem set prettyDate to my FormatDate(modDate) set itemTitle to itemTitle space prettyDate set name of item 1 of selectedItem to itemTitle end tell -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Leopard compatible beta of SyncTogether available
See http://www.markspace.com/testing/ for a healthy dose of disclaimers and a beta. I'm definitely excited about this. I can't get Yojimbo to sync over .Mac. I'm hoping over my LAN will be easier! Making backups of course! TjL -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.
