Re: Sync Conflict Messages with ID numbers
I think Yojimbo and/or Apple should provide more descriptive messages in those cases (I'm not sure whose court that ball is in, though). In any case, you can open that ID as a URL. Type x-yojimbo-item:// in your browser, followed by the item ID. It should open the item in Yojimbo. (It's the same format you get with Copy Item Link from Yojimbo itself, but I don't know if there's a direct way to find items by ID within Yojimbo.)

Adding list of items to a collection with AppleScript
How can I add a list of items to a collection with AppleScript? I can add one item at a time, but for large sets of items this is a pokey (although watching the item count next to the collection icon climb is kind of interesting).

An arbitrary number of new items are created and appended to a list; then, a new collection is created and I attempt to add the list of items to the collection.

Ideally, you'd like each newly imported Yojimbo item to inherit the creation and modification dates of the Finder file it was imported from, correct?

Here it is: http://anoved.net/2007/05/backdate-yojimbo-import.html When you run the script, it'll present a file browser. Choose the files you want to import. They'll be automatically backdated with the creation and modification dates of the actual files after they're imported. (As with the other script, you'll still need to restart Yojimbo before the corrected dates are visible.) Based on a bit more testing it seems that it is safe to edit backdated items before restarting Yojimbo. The modification date will be changed, of course, but the creation date will be untouched.

I think it would be feasible to write an import script that uses this script's code to automatically adjust the date of each imported item. so, to the yojimbo developers: will you consider adding, as a preference, the ability to inherit the creation dates of imported documents? If there's any indication that this is in the pipeline, I won't bother writing another script. Anyway, I did issue a minor update to the script yesterday that just performs a bit more validation on the format of the date text you enter.

I think it would be feasible to write an import script that uses this script's code to automatically adjust the date of each imported item. Here it is: http://anoved.net/2007/05/backdate-yojimbo-import.html When you run the script, it'll present a file browser. Choose the files you want to import. They'll be automatically backdated with the creation and modification dates of the actual files after they're imported. (As with the other script, you'll still need to restart Yojimbo before the corrected dates are visible.) Based on a bit more testing it seems that it is safe to edit backdated items before restarting Yojimbo. The modification date will be changed, of course, but the creation date will be untouched. Nevertheless, I still feel obliged to warn that these scripts use unsanctioned methods to do their deeds! Let me know how it goes.

Re: why do we have to copy instead of just select
On 5/3/07, VLCofA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, folks, I've tried out many of the other note-grabbing programs, like SOHO Notes and Journler and Eagle Filer. Each of them requires only that you SELECT the text and invoke its grab command. This makes me wonder why Yojimbo, which I prefer in every other way, requires that we SELECT then COPY the text before we grab it. Any thoughts? DS There is an alternative way to import selected text without using the clipboard. Yojimbo includes an Import Text service (found under the Services menu in your current application's main menu). I've also written a standalone service that does more or less the same thing: http://anoved.net/2007/05/import-yojimbo-note.html The main difference is that my service imports the text as plain text whereas Yojimbo's service seems to retain color and style information. Mine also opens the new note window so that you can edit the note title or tags. Hope these methods give you some ideas.

Re: Import Applescripts
My silly web mail might have broken that script by hard wrapping the lines. If so you can just download it from http://anoved.net/files/YojimboPasswordSerialImport.scpt.zip instead.
