Re: PDF Menu shortcut

[Patrick Gilmour]

Yep. Plus the Yojimbo PDF Service is an alias to the application, not  
a script. Dunno if that makes a difference.


Probably an Apple thing, but it would be nice to see Barebones kludge  
to make it work.

I don't think it's Yojimbo though - the same applies for shortcuts  
for other services below the separator.

Re: Easy annotate and save PDF in Yojimbo

Cycle through Search criteria

[Patrick Gilmour]

I have a very small feature request for Yojimbo that I suspect would  
be quite popular. Just this:


When I hit F3 in any application it takes me to the Yojimbo search  
field.


WIth that field active I want to be able to use the up and down arrow  
keys to cycle through: All, Comments, Contents, Label, Name, Tag so I  
can refine my search without using the mouse.


Anyone who uses Butler will have seen this. Or Firefox (using Alt 
+Arrow on the Search bar - in Beta 3 at least)


Maybe this is already possible through another method. If it is, could  
someone please post it?


Would anyone else find this useful?

Re: Applescript: Get text contents of text note

Jim,

Thanks for pointing me to that - very comprehensive.

If I ever finish cobbling together this current script I'll post it

append "kind:yojimbo item" (without the quotes) to your spotlight

FYI, you can search on Yojimbo tags by using the keyword specifier.  
e.g.


  keyword:mytag kind:yojimbo item

Re: Leopard update feasible?

[Patrick Gilmour]

A few minor ones here:
Some AppleScripts don't work
Tabbing between fields seems erratic at times.
But otherwise, all good including .Mac syncing
That said, a new version with new features would still be welcome.

The essential thing about the syncing done with .Mac and Synctogether
is that it happens at the 'record' level rather than the file level
(Address Book cards, iCal entries, Yojimbo items). As Sebastian said,
rsync, being file-based, is not the right solution here.

Re: SyncTogether? Another option...

[Patrick Gilmour]

I tried lots of sync/backup apps, got bored with the constant errors,  
followed the advice given to me on this board, and started using rsync  
(a UNIX utility that ships pre-installed on your Mac). I haven't  
looked back. It is incredibly reliable and solid, amazingingly fast,  
can back up across the internet via SSH (again, very fast) and is not  
that difficult to understand. You can even wrap the commands up in an  
AppleScript doscript so you don't need to tinker in the terminal.


Here's an example. I'm no expert but this works for me. Other more  
experienced users might want to chime in.




You have a folder on your Desktop test1 that you want to Backup to  
another folder on your Desktop test2 (just an example!!)



Open Terminal

	Type the below (this will move the whole Folder test1 into test2 and  
show you what's happening in the Terminal):


	rsync -avz /Users/yourUserName/Desktop/test1\ /Users/yourUserName/ 
Desktop/test2



	If you want it to Delete any files that are in the Destination that  
are not in the source, add --delete:


	rsync -avz --delete /Users/yourUserName/Desktop/test1\ /Users/ 
yourUserName/Desktop/test2



	If you want to build a list of Excluded files and folders, create a  
file with the items listed in it each on a single line, then add this  
(I've put mine on the Desktop again for this example and called the  
file: "rync_excludes"):


	rsync -avz --delete --exclude-from=/Users/yourUserName/Desktop/ 
rync_excludes /Users/yourUserName/Desktop/test1   /Users/yourUserName/ 
Desktop/test2





Oh yeah, I forgot to mention one other thing - it's free!

That's a pretty disturbing error message.

Re: Code Coloring & Indenting in YJ

[Patrick Gilmour]

Thanks for the reply Steve.

I found some of the code collector app's (Code Collector,  
Schnippselchen etc.) but I think I'll just stick with Yojimbo. It's  
too much hassle to run another app just for a bit of color and it'll  
be easy (I imagine) to tell Yojimbo to send the window contents to the  
cursor in BBEdit.


I would use BBEdit the way you do, but there's no tagging support and  
now that I'm dumping nested folders wherever I can (thank you Patrick  
W! I was wrong!) I think Yojimbo's the best option.

There isn't much likelihood of us adding syntax coloring to Yojimbo:  
it's too specific of a problem.


If you really want to stick with Yojimbo for storage, there are a  
couple choices which come to mind:


"print" the page to Yojimbo from your preferred editor/viewer;
use Xcode, and copy the colored text. If you have the appropriate  
setting in Font & Colors, you should get styled text in your pastes,  
and the Quick Input window.


Otherwise, I saw a code collector app somewhere which has an  
incredibly similar interface to Yojimbo.


Personally, I keep all my stuff in a folder, and use BBEdit's search  
and disk browser to access it.

Re: Leopard trouble

Did a clean install. Turned on Mac syncing on the clean machine to

Waited. Nothing. Waited. Nothing. Then... it worked. 100% good. So  
maybe give it a little time if you're having syncing issues.

Re: Subfolders

Hi Martin,

I posted that request many times then tried living without subfolders  
and using Tagged Collections instead. I am now 100% converted and  
REALLY REALLY recommend giving it a go. I'm even dumping as many  
subfolders as I can in Mail and Finder these days. The guys at  
Barebones are right (and I suppose I was wrong ;-) ) - tagging your  
work is a really much more efficient way to organise your work.

Re: Save PDF to Yojimbo and file

Kenneth (and Steve),

Many thanks - this is a great addition.

I was wondering if it would be possible to tweak the script so that  
if the Name field was left blank it would use the Yojimbo default  
name (web pages usually have the correct "Title" tag and it would be  
painful to have to retype this).


Thanks again,

Re: PDF Display

[Patrick Gilmour]

I had the same problem.

The best solution is to simply drag the icon of the PDF from Yojimbo  
to either Acrobat or Preview and it will open in that application.


If you want a script to do this for the currently selected document:

==
on getSelectedItemsOfClass(itemClass)
set _resultItems to {}
tell application "Yojimbo"
set _selectedItems to get selected items of browser window 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of _selectedItems
if class of item i of _selectedItems is itemClass then
copy item i of _selectedItems to end of 
_resultItems
end if
end repeat
end tell
return _resultItems
end getSelectedItemsOfClass

tell application "Yojimbo"
	set _selectedPDFArchives to my getSelectedItemsOfClass(pdf archive  
item)
	set _files to (export _selectedPDFArchives to (path to temporary  
items)) as list

end tell


tell application "Adobe Acrobat Professional" --Use you PDF viewer here
open _files
activate
end tell

tell application "Finder"
move _files to trash
end tell
==


Cheers,


Pat

Here's another request, I'm on a roll…

PDF's: maybe I've missed a feature, but it seems there is no way  
currently to view the list of pages in a PDF document. Maybe the  
Acrobat 8 way of displaying page thumbnails down the side of the  
background area would work well - I'm not a developer so I have no  
idea how easy/hard this is, but I'm frequently frustrated with long  
PDF documents if I can't scan through a list of page thumbnails,  
adding this feature would be a positive boon!


I'll pre-empt the inevitable; no, searching won't help - may of the  
documents I'm referring to are very visual, such as design  
guidelines documents, design concepts, etc. which are often image- 
only or largely image based. A quick visual reference would really  
improve the usefulness of PDF's in YJ, for this user at least.



Cheers,
T.

Re: SBBOD when Yojimbo launches

Best solution i've found is to keep Yj open at all times!

Re: SBBOD when Yojimbo launches

I think the fix is to wait for the next version upgrade - this is a  
common problem ;-)


Hold on in there!

hello,

i'm enjoying yojimbo (still in the evaluation period), but i have a  
problem:


each time i launch yojimbo, i get the SBBOD (spinning beach ball of  
death) off and on for about a minute. during this time, it is very  
difficult (or sometimes impossible) for me to interact with the  
application. but after a minute or so, the SBB goes away, and i can  
work.


needless to say, this is extremely annoying. i don't launch yojimbo  
at login, so when i do launch it, that means i need to use it  
*then*. but i typically have to wait a minute or so before i can.


why is this happening? or, more specifically, how can i get it to  
*stop* happening?

Re: Tagging several items at once

[Patrick Gilmour]

Though remember that if there are pre-existing tags they will be  
removed, so be careful with items that are already tagged.

Re: Application reviews by Melodie Neal

[Patrick Gilmour]

Nested folders are more visual, for me at least. I find it easier to  
maintain a mental overview of what I have collected with nested  
folders - which is important for me. And, of course, what's nice  
about including Nested Folders is that you don't have to use them if  
you don't want to!



On Apr 4, 2007, at 10:18 AM, Mehboob Alam wrote:


I'm not entirely sure what the fuss about "nested" folders is. Going
back to the original Macintosh Finder and the 400K diskettes, the
filesystem was flat, and then the nested structure was introduced as
an "virtual" structure. But the filestorage system is still flat.

I'm missing something about this.. tagging seems more reasonable
because items can be stored with multiple tags.. isnt that how the
mind works, as opposed to how the real-world filing cabinet works?

Re: Application reviews by Melodie Neal

[Patrick Gilmour]

Agree totally, though I don't want to use two app's to store stuff  
and so am sticking to Yojimbo, with regular backups, a few  
Applescripts to export etc. and a deep sigh of longing every time I  
see nested folders elsewhere in a similar app!

Application reviews by Melodie Neal

[Patrick Gilmour]

Hi,

I just read Melodie Neal's conclusions on the best file-organiser- 
litter-sorter app's on the Mac. Seems EagleFiler pipped Yojimbo to  
the post because of the the flat file structure (instead of the  
SQLite db) and wait for it... (drum roll now...)... Nested  
Folders


But that debate's closed, right?

Some weeks ago I undertook to do a review of Yojimbo and applications
of a similar ilk.  At the time I expected to spend a few days looking
at software and writing a page or two of assessment: this has proved
to be an unreasonably optimistic estimate of the work involved.

Since I have already written quite a screed, and I'm no where near
done, I've decided to post the documents on my blog, starting at
http://melodien.blogspot.com/2007/03/litter-sorters-personal- 
evaluation-of.html

.  This is merely part one, part two is in late draft and should go up
in the next day or so;  parts three, four and probably five will
follow along in due course.  You will see that emailing this stuff to
the list would have been completely impractical.

I hope my maunderings will be of practical use to someone.

Re: Feature request

[Patrick Gilmour]

That's a really interesting tip.

I think I'd like to try and automate that. Is there a way of sending  
a spotlight search via a URL, like spotlight://localhost? 
search=mySearchWord or something?


That way I could easily create a Butler (Quicksilver?) shortcut to  
search Yojimbo (and others) using a quick system-wide shortcut.
