Re: Keyboard command for bullet points?

Make that Option-8.

Is there a system-wide keyboard shortcut for activating bullet

Re: Mail TODOs synchronization

[Ted Wood]

Just a couple of thoughts:
- Yojimbo works with 10.4 and 10.5, but the ToDo framework introduced  
in Mail.app is only on 10.5
- Yojimbo would need to be reworked (significantly?) so that it  
supported ToDos when running one both versions, while providing the  
enhanced sync feature of 10.5.


I'm sure that'll be no easy feat, but I hope to see it, as Yojimbo  
support of the ToDo framework would actually make it useful for me.

Agreed. 10.5 has a system-wide ToDo framework now, and it would be  
great for Yojimbo to support this, but the drawback would be dropping  
support for 10.4. I don't think that will happen just yet.

(broken record reply, sorry)

It's unfortunate that Apple didn't deliver a Core Data solution (to  
third-party developers) for proper Time Machine operation, but the  
onus is on Apple to fix this one. You have the option of _not_ using  
Time Machine where it doesn't make sense. Apple gave you that option,  
and it would make sense to use it in this case. Exclude the Yojimbo  
data store from being backed up and implement a different backup  
strategy. Problem solved.


However, as a software architect, I agree with you on the "big opaque  
file" paradigm... in my databases, I store a record of an archived  
file in the database, but then the file separately. That reduces the  
size of the database tremendously, still provides adequate performance  
and indexing capabilities, and would be more compatible with Time  
Machine. So, I think there's room for a middle-ground solution.

Re: Yojimbo on Windows?

I'm sure someone will pop up with the answer, but there is a web- 
based interface to Yojimbo that may address your needs. Essentially,  
it lets you access *your* Yojimbo database through a browser. Not  
sure if it's restricted to the same computer, or works over the  
Internet. I'll see if I can find it.

Re: Goodbye to Yojimbo

[Ted Wood]

Don,

Syncing is a complex issue, for sure. But there's many other factors  
to look at, and you might consider sharing a few of those details (if  
you haven't already).

- how are you connecting to the Internet?
- what speeds/latency are you getting from your ISP?
- does .Mac syncing work for other applications, such as Transmit?
- how large is your Yojimbo data store? Does a smaller store sync fine?

I'll peruse the list archives for past message from you to see if I  
can build a complete dialog of your experience. And then we can see  
how to help you out.


Other than syncing, how has your experience with Yojimbo been?  
Anything positive to share?

1. Synching is such a problem (verified by things I’ve read

2. BareBones just doesn’t care about losing a customer here and there.
I always thought that BareBones was a company of good reputation.

You may want to "Reset Sync Data..." to try and resolve any anomalies.

1. Why doesn't BB Support ask the Synch mode setting when someone

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the official support channel, not the

3.  Is it just Yojimbo for which Automatic Synch mode does not work  
reliably? It seemed to work for iCal, Address Book, Mail, Safari  
Bookmarks just fine.


I think there's a lot more factors to look at beyond just the feature  
not working reliably. I have mine set to "Every Day" since I only use  
one computer regularly, so that may be a factor in my success. I  
haven't had any significant issues with Syncing.


4. What is Automatic mode and why does it exist if the algorithm is  
patently flawed? Given it is Apple's technology I don't expect BB  
to fix that, however see the next three questions.


Automatic, by my best guess, means that it would synchronize whenever  
there is a change made (at some periodic check), meaning it would be  
more frequent than once an hour.


5. Has BB complained to Apple that Automatic Mode is unreliable?  
Has BB filed any defect reports on this?


Sync problems are a hot topic, so I'm sure BB is doing everything  
they can.


6. When I select Yojimbo in .Mac synch, why cannot BB put up a  
warning that I am in Automatic mode and it doesn't work reliably?  
Or maybe put that up when I select Yojimbo for synchronization.


Yojimbo/BB doesn't have control over the .Mac sync panel. That  
belongs to Apple.



7. Has BB tried to get Apple to tell them how to use the Service  
API to ensure Automatic Synchronization mode works reliably--if  
that can be done at all?


See answer to #5.


Data Synchronization is a very sophisticated process. .Mac syncing  
has working really well given the complexity of the systems  
(disparate computers, Internet routing, etc)

Scrap that confusion... Yojimbo is the "sync client", so it acts as
