I'm not sure that it's Yojimbo that is at fault, there have been some problems with .Mac syncing in general (personally I have a number of sync conflicts in some of the apps, I don't which ones, I sync but when I try to get it resolved there is nothing to be resolved ... ). Since I upgraded both of my computers to Leopard, everytime I sync ALL my keychain items will be synced. Back and forth, back and forth... It works, but I have to confirm the 25% dialog all the time. .Mac certainly has issues. Yojimbo items synced fine all the time.

When the cursor is inside a notes text field you can toggle the formatting palette by pressing command-r. The according menu entry is Format - Ruler - Show Ruler.

Re: newbie question
On 11.12.2007, at 12:54, Dennis Bretz wrote: Here's my question about Yojiimbo. If I'm understanding right, there's essentially only one database for the Yojimbo application. Even if I want to use Yojimbo to catalog stuff for several very different things, they will all be together when I open Yojimbo. However, I can tag them separately to differentiate them. Are there other ways that I can keep the various mutually exclusive parts of my life apart in Yojimbo? No matter what you use (collections, tags, labels): everything ends up in your one and only library. All that Yojimbo offers is different views, not separation of data. You can use collections to logically separate items. But collections are not very useful if you use the quick input panel a lot. As you said, you can use tags. Neither way provides real separation of data. Sebastian -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Quick Input Panel - Autofill

If you don't submit (dismiss the panel without clicking create) it won't discard what was previously filled in once you go back to the panel. But you might have copied something else to the clipboard in the meantime. That's the message. So, if this really happens _every_ time as you said, it's a bug indeed.

Re: SyncTogether? Another option...
Am 01.12.2007 um 16:03 schrieb Patrick Gilmour: [rsync] Here's an example. I'm no expert but this works for me. Other more experienced users might want to chime in. rsync is a nice program and I use it several times each day. However, it only knows how to synchronize _files_. Yes, it does incremental transfers, but this does not help with the way Yojimbo stores its entries (single file). If, for instance, you add an entry on both ends rsync won't be able to synchronize the Yojimbo DB because it simply does not know how to merge it. Consequently one of the entries will be irreversibly lost afterwards. Usually things do not change much when an application stores its items in distinct files because you'd still need to maintain the index. Well, why not ditch the index as well? I asked this question once to myself and soon found out that I can not answer it. It would more or less mean to go back and organize things in files within the file system. Without Yojimbo. Why not? Dunno. Nowadays we have things like spotlight, smart folders, quicklook. I am looking forward to the next Yojimbo version to find out how it will fit into this and if it still feels better to keep things organized within Yojimbo.

That's not really perfect for me - the great advantage for me in Yojimbo in comparison to stuff like Devonthink is that it syncs the stuff in your library. Add to Yojimbo creates a bookmark - not very useful for local stuff. Good point, personally I never used .mac sync. This would require me to 1) buy a .mac account and 2) buy another yojimbo license. I don't believe in the put EVERYTHING, including files, into your personal information manager strategy. In the end you find yourself misusing yojimbo as a file manager. On the other hand, it would certainly be nice to put SOME files into it from time to time. btw., I think the archive to yojimbo is meant for URLs. At least it works with URLs.

Beginners questions
Hi there, Just deciding wether to buy Yojimbo and have a couple of questions: 1. In the serial number and password templates the comment field is way to small. How can I make it bigger? For instance, if I get an email with a serial number in it, I want to store the whole email along with the serial number. Then, for some products I have license keys + several machines IDs that just need more space in the comments field. 2. How can I create my own templates? 3. Is it possible to assign a new entry to a collection in the F8 quick entry form? You can enter tags there, so it should also be possible to put something into a collection quickly. 4. What is the difference between labels and tags? And why can't you make a label collection, just like a tag collection? If you can't make a label collection (say, sth like To Dos), what's the purpose of it? btw, it would be nice if the yojimbo tagged bookmarks could be synchronized with del.icio.us.
