Missing web archives, intermittent (2 questions)

[David K. Kim]

Hello All, 

I am evaluating Yojimbo and am near the end of the trial period.  There is a
vexing problem that crops up intermittently.  I would appreciate any
insights:

(1) Sometimes, when I "archive in Yojimbo" with a Camino hotlink, or import
something as a WebArchive, it will not show up, either in the preview pane
or by selecting "[open in new window]".  Instead I get a blank screen.

I have noticed that this sometimes occurs the first time, and I think also
intermittently.  Note this seems different from the problem where Yojimbo's
download process hits a gateway ad page or login screen (not sure how to fix
that, either, see below).

Also,
(2) Any insights into how to work around those times when Yojimbo does get
hung up on an ad page or login gateway screen?  I would think Yojimbo uses a
common framework (from Cocoa) for web download.  Does this mean the problem
can be worked around by logging onto those sites with Safari first, or by
browsing with Safari?

Thanks in advance for any help.  My trial is running out soon and I'm trying
to sort out whether to use Yojimbo or EagleFiler.

David

How do you launch Yojimbo?

If you launch it as a startup item, please quit and relaunch and  
this should clear up the problem. If not, please contact <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, I often have to quit and relaunch, as this happens to me on a  
fairly regular basis (like, every time I reboot which is, thankfully,  
very rare).


(The login issue is a relatively rare condition; I have a bug logged  
to work around the OS issue that triggers it.)


I hope it gets fixed, as it sort of defeats the purpose of a startup  
item if you have to quit it and restart it. :-)

I posted a similar problem last week, to no response. I'm running

mysteriously fixed itself and began syncing again.

Odd sync problem

I am having something odd with sync going on ... a specific Yojimbo  
item (a pdf) is not showing up on one machine, een though it is on the  
other. I even tried a 'reset sync items' and replaced the Yojimbo data  
on machine 2 with the data from machine 1, and still the offending pdf  
does not show up.


Is there some weird thing about pdfs not syncing??

Re: Tag Collections not treated the same as 'regular' Collections (was: The Real Issue With Nested Folders and Multiple Databases.)

[david]

Bill - good question  and the answer becomes more complex as our  
ability to search on tags becomes more complex. A tag collection with  
one tag item or a multiple search involving AND it would be pretty  
easy to alert the user to the definition and offer to append the  
collection tags, change the dropped items to have those tags, or  
cancel. But if the tag collection involves an OR search all bets are  
off.

I believe there are good reasons for not having tags automatically  
assigned.

Re: The Real Issue With Nested Folders and Multiple Databases.

[david]

I do have to respectfully disagree with the idea of a *correct*  
folder.

I’m not saying it doesn’t exist or can’t be part of a larger
organizational system. I just think this method can easily (and often
does) break down when a second user is introduced to the system.


Within the context of Yojimbo this argument has no meaning. Yojimbo  
isn't a shared program so we are free to put things - or tag them -  
however we choose - unless you are suggesting that two people are  
sharing a single account. And that is a recipe for all kinds of  
disasters.


But let me go further. I really fail to see how tags are any better in  
the context of your argument. Whether I am tagging or filing in  
folders, if someone new is added to the mix they have to learn the  
system. Both Yojimbo and the Finder fail miserably when it comes to  
tags in this respect - neither provide a convenient way to see a  
master list of tags AND the files associated with them. (At least  
Yojimbo gives me a master list in Preferences but then I have to close  
Preferences and search on a couple tags.)  When I open a folder I can  
see a group of files that are (at least in my case) named  
descriptively and color coded. But since the Finder and Yojimbo don't  
make it easy to both browse tags AND the files associated with them, I  
don't think tags are superior to folders. Give Yojimbo an interface  
similar to Leap which DOES provide a list of tags and immediate  
feedback on the files with that tag and your argument takes on greater  
force. But not now.


As far as I can see, Tags have two major advantages over folders (1) I  
can give one file a multitude of tags whereas I can (conveniently)put  
a file in only one folder and (2) a tagged file is virtually  
hierarchical whereas a file inside a nested folder is physically  
hierarchical. The advantage is that I can quickly and easily change  
the tagged files hierarchy by changing my search criteria but a file  
in nested folders has to be physically moved.


These advantages are nothing to be sneezed at but I'd also argue that  
one of the reasons that folders and nested folders have worked for so  
long isn't just a matter of habit but also because human beings are  
spacial thinkers. Folders provide a spacial context - tags don't.


Thankfully Yojimbo provides an easy means to export data. My solution  
at present is quite workable, though I wish I didn't have this added  
step. I collect and tag in Yojimbo. When I'm ready to start arranging  
my collection - because I am a spacial thinker - I export the data by  
tagged collections and import it into DevonThink Pro. And here's an  
irony for you - having imported the data into DTP - I don't use nested  
folders - I simply import the data into folders just as they were  
exported by tags. Since DevonThink Professional lets me have multiple  
databases, I can use un-nested folders. The biggest reason I find a  
need for nested folders in Yojimbo is because everything is all  
jumbled together in one huge library.

Re: The Real Issue With Nested Folders and Multiple Databases.

[david]

Perhaps there's a context within which the paragraph below explains  
how tags are superior to folders but it eludes me. I'm not arguing  
that tags don't have value and aren't at times more valuable than  
folders, but this paragraph doesn't explain it to me.



Folders don’t address how a group of individuals identify with a piece
of information. You may remember the photo by the name of the
‘Pizzeria’. Your wife may remember it by ‘Times Square’. Your kids  
might

type a search for ‘extra cheese’. Do none of those make sense to you?
They don’t have to. They only need to be meaningful to the person
searching for the information at that point in time. Anyone and  
everyone

at home and at work can identify information any way they want without
stepping on someone else’s toes or creating numerous folders and
versions of the same file. This is why I find it a little strange
whenever someone posts a need to limit the tags they use. Why?

Re: Happy with Yojimbo the way it is!

[david]

It's partly inertia - using what you know. The Finder has nested  
folders, we all understand nested folders. We understand how to use  
nested folders to solve a problem...ergo we ask for nested folders to  
solve similar problems in Yojimbo.


Frankly, until I started using tags in the Finder I didn't see tags as  
a solution to a problem - I saw them as solutions in search of a  
problem. Further, until Leopard I - and frankly until Leopard and  
HoudahSpot - I didn't start using tags. So seeing tags as a solution  
to my Yojimbo tasks took a while.


But to go even one step further, Folders are more "in your face" and  
tags are more retiring and shy. (What the heck does he mean by that?)  
In the old Finder days I'd get or create a file and have to decide  
where to put it. Okay, so it is a work file - I already have  a folder  
called work. That's easy. Hey, I have five folders inside Work and the  
file fits best inside Requisitions. Problem solved.


New style I have to remember that I have tags called Work and  
Requisitions. Thankfully Yojimbo does autocompletion in the Tags  
Inspector which works well - if I remember that the tag was called  
Work as opposed to North Campus Office. Since Tags aren't in my face  
the way a nested folder is when I open the file selector, I have to  
think a little more, plan a little better, and sometimes go looking.  
It irritates me no end when I discover that I have half a dozen  
documents with one tab and a couple more with a different tab that  
means the same thing.


Even now I'm not convinced that tabs are the logical replacement for  
nested folders. A useful tool, yes - but a replacement? I'm not  
convinced yet. But since this is the only complaint I have about  
Yojimbo I stick with it. However I have also let the developers know  
in no uncertain terms that when/if a program comes along that fits as  
well as Yojimbo and offers nested folders, I may well be outa here.

for the people asking for nested folders, how could tags not help you
instead? instead off

[Some things]
[Sub-Some things]

you could set up tags:

SomeThings
SomeThings:sub1
SomeThings:sub2

Then just search on those tags? Even better, you could (creating a
mess) have something in two "sub folders" at the same time using this
method, eliminating duplicates.

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Yojimbo doesn't give us
nested folders, but you can work around that with creative thinking.

I think Yojimbo is a fine little application, too.  It's just a  
shame that because it lacks one feature (nested collections) I had  
to delete it from my hard drive.   I keep monitoring online, and I  
keep hoping that one day that needed feature will be added.   
People with as much data as I have can't live without nested

Anyone who knows won't be able to say. In might be more beneficial

saying 'built-in blogging support' is very ambiguous. I use blosxom

3) iPhone version so that I can have my collection on my phone, make

Re: Attach a file?

[david]

The idea of the license file, unfortunately seems to be catching on.  
With each new application that adopts *only* the license file option,  
I've been writing a polite but firm letter to the developer indicating  
my displeasure at the inconvenience of the method - particularly if  
the developer doesn't use an automated (and immediate) method for  
resending the license file. I've also taken to looking at competing  
products, when they exist, and informing the developer that this is an  
unwanted feature that can push me toward the competing product.


Meanwhile, I do have three programs that utilize only this unfortunate  
method of serialization. I've created a folder where I keep these  
files and in Yojimbo, I create a serial number item as usual, and then  
remind myself that the serial is a file in the folder. Since I  
use .Mac I keep a copy of the serial files there too.


It isn't a satisfactory solution and if Yojimbo is to continue to be a  
viable serial keeper, perhaps a new feature is needed.

The "problem" is that I have a couple of software products that use

It seems that the problem for me was a Service called PDF2RTFService.
Apparently PDF2RTFService spotlights a bug in 1.5. PDF2RTFService is
useful for the thing that it does, but Yojimbo is more important to
me. I archived PDF2RTFService and removed it, restarted, and Yojimbo
completely recovered.

Same here after some  correspondence with Barebones support.

I bought it the day it was launched - before there was a trial version

Every attempt at sync ends with a crash. Sometimes it just quits,
other times I get this error message:

cross-linking yojimbo items to objects in other apps

[David Duff]

ideally, i'd like to be able to link from other objects in my toolset  
(omnifocus tasks, ical events, email messages, misc finder documents,  
address book contacts, etc.) bidirectionally to yojimbo, such that i  
could be looking at an item (like a yojimbo note) and could jump to  
for example a contact or vice versa.


one step toward this ideal is hinted at by the presence of the "copy  
item link" feature in the edit menu of yojimbo.


a current problem that i am trying to solve is to find some way of  
keeping track of a large body of "contract-centric" information -  
that is, lots of contacts, and for each contact, a set of semi- 
structured (date, text) notes which are linked to contacts which  
might comprise a history of interactions with an individual.   it  
would be nice if i could use yojimbo as the notes component in a  
suite of apps that i use to attack this problem.


using address book.app is a semi-requirement, since for various  
subsets of these contacts, i need to send email, create groups,  
communicate via IM, print envelopes, ...i also would like to keep  
the list of contacts sync'd with my pda.thus, using the central  
mac os store for contacts seems to make sense.


i believe that this cross-linkage should be possible because i have  
seen versions of it done in other applications.  for example,  
mailtags succeeds in cross-linking between email messages and ical  
events/tasks.   i'd like for yojimbo to be able to do something  
similar.   i'm not sure whether the linked objects should  
conceptually be considered part of the meta-data of the yojimbo item,  
i.e., along with dates, tags, comments, label, or part of the content  
of the yojimbo item, i.e. like a hyperlink or an image or other  
object that is embedded in the body.   perhaps the links should  
simply be hyperlinks and nothing more - including "special"  
hyperlinks akin to "x-yojimbo-item://32340234".   the links could be  
created at object creation time (i.e. by a script such as "create a  
new yojimbo note linked to this contact"), via drag/drop type  
operations, or perhaps via a contact selector mechanism to be added  
to yojimbo (analagous to the "address panel" function in mail.app.


what doesn't seem to work as it should:

i should be able to copy a link from yojimbo and paste it into one of  
my contact's "URL" fields, then i could navigate from the contact to  
a yojimbo item containing a note or multiple notes about a contact.   
when i try to open a yojimbo link in address book, it doesn't work.   
address book seems to mis-interpret the text i use for the link and  
it thinks it needs to prepend "http://"; to the front of it.this  
issue seems to have been discussed on the yojimbo-talk list  
previously, but afaik the discussion did not lead to a solution to  
the problem.


what's missing:

ability for yojimbo to link to other objects such as contacts.   the  
same would apply for linking to email messages, ical events, files in  
the filesystem, etc.


example: drag an address book contact into a yojimbo note and some  
kind of link (?) gets added to the note that you can click on to  
navigate back to the original item.


any thoughts or suggestions on tools or techniques?   any chance  
yojimbo would grow to support this task at some point or would this  
be considered completely out of scope?

My database is quite large. I've removed it from the TimeMachine

I think that was the point Jeff was making. Unless and until Apple

be near impossible for something like Yojimbo to be used with it

I suppose one way to do it would be to sync to .Mac (or another web

Baffled by non-synchronizing synching

[David Nedrow]

I currently run Yojimbo 1.4.2(46) on two machines, an iBook G4 and a  
PowerMac G5. Both are OS X 10.4.9.


My primary "working" machine is the iBook, hence most of my items are  
created there. I currently have ~373 items in Yojimbo on the iBook.  
However, Yojimbo on the G5 only shows 299.


I've tried the suggestion re: sync issues in the Yojimbo FAQ(s), but  
to no avail. I've even unregistered both machines (from .Mac),  
deleted all of the Yojimbo user files (caches, db, etc.) and re- 
sync'd. Same issue. I only get 299 of the items that I have on the  
iBook. Interestingly enough, the newest item that shows up on the G5  
is from February 23, 2007, even though I add items frequently on the  
iBook. I have no idea what the significance of 23 Feb is in re: my  
boxes.


This is really irksome. ;)

Anyone have any ideas as to what may be wrong/happening?

Re: Folders/Tag-collections

You were obviously watching the wrong channel -

The scene: a man breezes into a hardware store carrying a hammer in

service desk with a perplexed look on his face:


Man: I sent my wife in yesterday with this odd hexigonal screw to get  
a screw driver so I could put together the ikea desk we bought. The  
clerk sold her this hammer.


Clerk: Well, it will work won't it?

He takes hammer and screw from the man and proceeds to hammer the

Clerk: See? It works perfectly!

Man: Uh, right.

The man turns around and walks out shaking his head sadly at the  
state of customer service in the store.


Man: I wonder it there's intelligent life on Mars. I fear there's  
none here on earth.

The scene: A man storms angrily into a hardware store, carrying a  
hammer in one hand an a screw in the other. He stomps up to the  
customer service desk and proceeds to give the clerk a good tongue  
lashing.


Man: This hammer you sold me isn't fully featured! It doesn't do  
what I want a hammer to do!


Clerk: (looking perplexed) What doesn't it do?

Man: It won't drive this (holds up philips head screw) into wood!  
Where do you get off selling me a hammer that doesn't do everything  
I want it to do!


Clerk: (looking even more perplexed). Sir, hammers are for driving  
nails, not screws. We've got nails if you'd like to use your  
hammer, or we can sell you a screwdriver to use with your screws.  
There are plenty of options, but you can't drive a screw with a  
hammer.


Man: Dammit, I don't want nails or a screwdriver! I want to drive  
these screws with this hammer! What's wrong with you people! How do  
you even keep customers? If a customer wants a hammer that will  
drive screws, then dammit, you give them a hammer that will drive  
screws! I don't care what the hammer was designed to do, I want it  
to do what I WANT IT TO DO!


Clerk: (now afraid that he's talking to a bat-s**t crazy lunatic)  
Sir, the manager's office is right over that way...

Disappearing drop dock

[David Nedrow]

Is anyone else having a problem in which the drop dock simply  
disappears.


Quitting and restarting Yojimbo does not cause the dock to reappear.  
Strangely, sometimes it will be there.


Any ideas?

Feature Request: Drag-n-Drop images

[David Conrad]

Not sure if this has been covered in past discussions, but I'd love  
to cast a vote for the ability to drag images from a Web browser  
directly into either the drop-dock or the Yojimbo application without  
having to create a note to contain it. That's not a currently  
supported feature, correct?


As a designer I'm constantly collecting ideas/inspiration in the form  
of images from the web. It's nice to have these stored "off-line"  
instead of a URL because I can arrange and sort things visually if  
need be. Currently I just have a big directory of files, but I'd love  
to have them in jimbo.


Thanks!

David Conrad

The more I think about it, I agree with this sentiment. Email is like
a forum that comes to me, making it a lot easier to peruse what's
going on, participate only when I want/need to and *not* have to
bumble through another annoying website registration (on a sidenote:
it's too bad sites aren't adopting OpenID more quickly).

Melikes the Gmail, too.

Re: Forums = NO!

[David Chartier]

Vanilla is a really lightweight and pleasant forum system to use that
was pretty much developed by people in your same bucket; they also
hate how bloated forums have become. Check out Vanilla here:

And the first place I ran into it being used, for a real world example:

http://www.neato.co.nz/forum/

Great software.

This I agree with almost completely, they tend to be over-featured
bloated monsters complete with an overbearing preponderance for large
avatar images and signatures. This needn't be the case though, these
thingies can be done in a pretty svelte manner.

RSS.

Yojimbo!

That's my main objection to the mailing list really - reviewing the
past discussions, this format is great for keeping up to date but I
feel that a stripped back forum with RSS feeds for updates would be
the best of both worlds.

Re: Syncing without .Mac and multiple databases

[David Chartier]

If you swap out a database using rooSwitch though, I worry about how  
any syncing engine - whether it's .Mac, SyncTogether or something  
else - is going to handle it. You could wind up blowing away the  
equivalent database on your other machine(s).


I don't remember what happened with our discussion about this  
previously, but this is another fundamental reason for a Yojimbo Pro  
version.

http://roobasoft.com/rooSwitch/

which will allow you to easily switch between two sets of data for any
application very easily.  It costs $15 but has a 30 day trial to see
if it does what you want.

I have it on both machines already, and am about to re-enable the
syncing of YJ items via .mac

On a related note, I uninstalled SyncTogether 1.0.1 this evening after getting

"Unexpected error (NO ERROR CODE SUPPLIED). This is probably a bug."

which was just the last straw after a month of crashes.

Hi,

I have received an offer from Mark/Space about SyncTogether. I might
be dumb, but the question not answered on their site is: do I have to
be online to sync two Macs or can I do it by connecting them via
firewire in target mode rather than on the web - and also has anyone
had experience with this program and does it work?


I bought it on the 5th of February, and - after some teething troubles
- it worked flawlessly for ten days, syncing my Yojimbo database
across my ethernet & WiFi LAN. Then it crashed, and has never worked
since.

If I disable Yojimbo syncing it works perfectly every time, but with
Yojimbo sync enabled I get one "application SyncTogether has
unexpectedly quit" per sync attempt. MarkSpace support has made some
suggestions, but so far nothing has worked. Apparently there's a
version 1.0.1 due this week.

When it works it'll sync using Ethernet, WiFi and Firewire in
IP-over-FireWire mode, all without needing to be online.

I have no idea how you'd make it sync using FireWire target mode, and
I doubt it can work that way.
