Re: .mac not Syncing issues
Contact Bare Bones Support (just like it says at the bottom of this and every message)--they were very helpful in talking me through a similar problem a while back. Also, a Google for .Mac sync problems will provide a ton of information. Sorry I can't go into details now--you opened what might me a big can of worms (depending how far you have to go to reset/restore sync services) and fighting other fires at the moment. *** Okay, I can't be *that* unhelpful. First, in my experience, Sync is a lot more reliable under 10.5--at least once you've cleared out the 10.4 remnants. I did a full reset when I upgraded and have been very happy ever since. (Of course I also recently switched to FIOS via a Gigabit hard wire (as opposed to DSL via 802.11 which has probably also helped quite a bit.) Not saying you need a full reset--like I said, work with Bare Bones support first, but if you do: Ars Technica on doing a SyncServices nuke pave: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/02/25/how-to-truly-reset-your-mac-sync-data (Thanks to Merlin Mann/43folders for the pointer) An article on using Syncrospector (An Apple Developers tool) : http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070205125711148 -- Article is for 10.4.x, not sure whether is is appropriate for 10.5.

Re: Backing up Yojimbo to JungleDisk Plus (or Rsync)

Sorry for the delay in replying to this but I didn't want to answer until I'd tested a backup. JungleDisk Plus backs up the changes to my Yojimbo database on a nightly basis without any need to shut Yojimbo down. I just tested the integrity of the backup this morning and it was up-to-date as of yesterday. Since I got FIOS, JungleDIsk has become my offsite backup destination and I'm extrememly pleased--not to mention sleeping better at night.

Re: Backing up Yojimbo to JungleDisk Plus (or Rsync)
On Apr 26, 2008, at 12:42 PM, Bill Rowe wrote: The combination of block-level file updates and a nightly backup schedule would greatly reduce the opportunity for the type of problem I describe to occur. Also, I assume the nightly backup occurs when you aren't actively using Yojimbo. I believe this explains you success to date but doesn't mean Yojimbo is inherently compatible with JungleDisk. I'll can't disagree with that. My offsite backup takes place at 2:30am--a time when I'm seldom at the computer and a logical time for such a backup to occur. The backups happens without shutting Yojimbo down and they are incremental (or block-level if you prefer)--my entire Yojimbo database isn't being uploaded every night, saving on time and upload charges to JD/S3. I can't speak for Time Machine's behavior with Yojimbo as I've never allowed it to back up those files but I do know of a colleague who learned that Time Machine wasn't backing up a shared File Maker database because it was always open. Perhaps the core data/sqlite nature of Yojimbo makes this less of an issue--that's for wonkier minds than mine to worry over. (And as I don't run Filemaker at this time, I have no idea what it's behavior would be vis-a-vis JungeDisk Plus.) Take what you will from my findings, but I am satisfied that my Yojimbo data is being backed up on a nightly basis (with the proviso that if I'm working through the night, a backup might be skipped) as confirmed by the modification date on the JungleDisk'd Yojimbo file which I check regularly and my testing of that archived file--a procedure which will be repeated on an ad hoc basis. It may not be inherently compatible but since it looks and quacks like a duck, I believe I provided a satisfactory answer to the original question. And if I have to resort to my offsite backup--as opposed the local Time Machine/SuperDuper drive--I'd rather have a Yojimbo file from yesteray or last week (or even last month) than no file at all--and there are probably a number of higher priorities on my worry list. YMMV.

Attach a file?
I guess this falls somewhere between a feature request and wondering if anyone can suggest a better workaround. I use Yojimbo to maintain my software serial number database (amongst other things.) This database has been around for some time and was migrated from Appleworks to Excel before finding it's current home in Yojimbo. The problem is that I have a couple of software products that use license files rather than serial numbers. I currently put a download URL (if relevant) and a note pointing to a file path on machine within the Yojimbo record but I'd really like to be able to attach a copy of the file itself. I realize this opens a bunch of doors and isn't in essence something that Yojimbo is intended for so a feature request is not likely to be fulfilled. And I will be amongst the first to rail on against feature creep in Yojimbo--much of its beauty in its simplicity. To that end, does anyone have a more elegant solution than the one I'm using?

I'll have to give some thought as to whether or not I want any software license info stored as a text file--it's something that I'd have to keep my head wrapped around.

Re: Yojimbo 1.5 - Images Questions
On Dec 5, 2007, at 2:15 PM, Jim Correia wrote: Are these images items that you converted from notes via drag and drop? This happens because the text system puts TIFF data on the clipboard, and that is read back in as the image. You can avoid this by dragging out to the Finder first to create a file, the dragging the file back in. (Yes, I realize this isn't terribly convenient.) Yes, that was how I converted. Thanks for the behind-the-curtain explanation. Makes perfect sense. However, based on this I am curious as to why an animated gif dragged from notes and dropped into a TextEdit document doesn't get converted by the clipboard. Again, this is not intended as criticism--just trying to understand the tool and how to best use it. And if we can save another list follower a little pain along the way...

With all due respect to Yojimbo--software that I live and die by--you might be better served by FileMaker's Bento (currently available as free beta test). Out of the box Bento incorporates Address Book and iCal data, ships with a number of templates that may suit (or be readily adapted to) your purpose, and uses the same SQLite backbone as Yojimbo. Bento feels more structured to me--and I've yet to see how I would use it. But it may be the better tool for your purposes. Best of luck! jab Guidance Counselor said your scores are anti-heroic.
