This is a known limitation which will be removed in the next release.  
For now, the Yojimbo keychain entry must be in the default keychain.

Played with this a little more. It is indeed the case that other
applications unlocking the Keychain also unlock it for Yojimbo. So,
say, mounting a remote volume asks for your Keychain password; after
that Yojiimbo encrypted items are automatically accessible for 5
minutes or whatever the timeout value is.

I then tried to create a new Keychain specifically for Yojimbo, to
store just the Yj password. Unfortunately, that did not work. Yojimbo
apparently can only use the 'login' keychain.

Well, this indeed seems to work. It was not immediately obvious where
to find this setting in Keychain Access. It's not in Preferences, but
in the Settings for the 'login' Keychain (I guess that's what it is,
the one with the same name as your short user name). Select that
Keychain in the upper right pane of Keychain Access, then choose Edit
-> Change Settings for Keychain . Then you get a dialog box
where you can enter "Lock after x minutes of inactivity".

Jan Erik, you might want to look into this also...

Thanks again,
Jan Pieter

That depends on what 'inactivity' means -- many programs use the
Keychain, so other programs could keep the Keychain unlocked, even
with Yojimbo inactive, I guess. I'll have to experiment with this.

Thanks for the tip,
Jan Pieter

You can set your keychain to lock automatically after a period of  
inactivity - does this accomplish what you want?

Yes, I understand it now. I had my Keychain set to unlock
automatically after login. But if I set it to stay locked after login,
I only have to unlock it once and it will stay unlocked. So, when
using the Keychain for viewing Yojimbo encrypted items, I have to log
out and in again to "hide" my encrypted Yojimbo items after the
Keychain is unlocked.

I will send Barebones a feature request for more finegrained  
password control.
