I have 4 regular collections, and 4 tag collections. I have 732 items.

I spend roughly 0 minutes a day organizing my data, and get at what  
I need by searching.


I spend no time in organization as well (if tagging is not organizing  
stuff) - for this i have tag collections (for quick overviews over  
special topics)



Yes, we're working on search performance, as I speak...

search which gives me any combination of japan, china and economics,

which would be

japan, politics
japan, economics, politics
china, economics
china, politics
china, economics, politics
japan, china, economics
japan, china, politics

yojimbo-module

2007-05-24 Thread Niels Kobschätzki

Hi!

Kerris last mail reminded me of the Yojimbo-module for Quicksilver.  
And I just tried to do a Command window with selection and add to  
yojimbo but I can't use Add to Yojimbo for a selected Finder-item;  
any idea what could fix that. And where can I ask for feature  
requests for the Quicksilver-module - here?
I would like to do the following: selct a pdf in Finder, Command  
window with selection (it's a QS-trigger in my case), tab, add to  
yojimbo, tab, add yojimbo-tags, tab, tags, enter (import to yojimbo  
with the tags))

does other users have


17000+ items. I have 8 collections at the moment and no tag 
collections.  Some of my collections are temporary such as for 
the duration of a project. Once the project is completed and I 
am no longer referring to its source materials on a daily basis, 
I delete the collection and find what I want through tag or some 
other search. For my tastes, I don't like to keep folders or 
collections of items, most of which I very rarely view. I do the 
same with folders on my desktop.


And occasionally, I do make tag collections which are *very* 
temporary, such as all recipes which use strawberries. I do this 
when I want to refer to this group for more than a minute or so 
and also want to free up search for some other use.


I also flag a small number of documents (maybe 15 or so), that I 
know I'll want to see fairly often without having to search or browse.

At present, compound searching isn't on the feature horizon, although as
we've previously mentioned, smart collections, once available, will allow
gathering items in this fashion.

Re: Folders/Tag-collections

2007-05-24 Thread Dennis Rande
I currently have 23 tag collections, 2 regular collections, and 5319  
items.


All my collections (tagged and regular) are temporary with some  
deleted and new ones created on a weekly basis. That's what I really  
like about the tagging system: with everything tagged, I can just  
create/delete collections as needed and nothing is lost.


My regular collections are even more fleeting, often lasting only for  
a couple hours. I use them to gather items together that I'm  
currently using (often search results) and delete the collections  
when done.


I've had no problems finding things and do minimal organizing with  
tags. Although, I'm anxiously looking forward to improved content  
search and user-defined smart folders.


I really have no interest in hierarchical folders or doing that kind  
of sorting/organization.


Dennis

Thanks for your well-written repeating posts for those of us who have  
recently subscribed.


Hard to believe but for a 10.4.x user I have finally figured out the  
search-based algorithms rather than the directory driven functions  
for find/search. If that makes any sense...


The more I learn, the less I know...

At the risk of repeating earlier posts, wanting to group your  
collections does not imply a yearning for hierarchy or that you  
don't know how to tag  search effectively, it's just a very useful  
compliment to the existing functionality.
