Select the items and then type the tags into the inspector.


or modifying tags on multiple items at once. Is it
possible to do this?


Yes. If all the items have the same tags, then you can modify them all  
at the same time using the inspector. But if the items have different  
tags, the inspector warns you by saying "multiple values" instead of  
trying to show the current tags (impossible to do?). If you go ahead  
and type new tags, you'll replace the old tags with the new ones.

I'd love to 1) be able to drag the entire collection to my desktop,

I've writing to Barebones and they tell me none of these options  
are going to happen.


What am I missing?


I'm new to Yojimbo so don't take too much notice of the following  
My understanding is that Yojimbo's primary focus is being really easy  
to use - dump stuff in, and search for it later. If every conceivable  
task were to have a button or menu for it, then you end up with  
Microsoft Word instead...:)


Obviously for 1) you can select everything inside a collection and  
drag it to a Finder folder, then delete the selection (if you're  
clever, you can do it without losing Yojimbo as the front  
application). Only a couple of gestures... Oh, and you'd have to  
delete the collection too.


I suspect this is scriptable...:)

I don't really see the point of 2) because that would require  
hierarchical collections And they're all still in the Library  
anyway.


If you want to hide a collection, you could always name it with a  
blank, and give it an icon of white space. It does look a bit stupid,  
though, with the trash underneath the empty lines, and if you have  
the counts showing too it's even stupiderI suppose having counts on a  
collection by collection basis, and a hideable trash, aren't going to  
happen either, though.


A real archive function sounds like a nice idea. Kind of Export and  
Delete. Another applescript.


tell application "Yojimbo"
tell front browser window
set colls to selected collections
repeat with coll in colls
set everyi to every database item of coll
			export everyi to ((path to desktop folder) as text) & "untitled  
folder"

end repeat
end tell
end tell

There's probably room for a 'delete' in there somewhere. (I don't  
like testing scripts with 'delete' in them...)

Re: Merging Yojimbo DBs

RE: ~/Library/Application Support/Yojimbo/Database.sqlite file

Anyone have a way to merge several of these into one (working)  
Yojimbo DB?


I have several backed up versions which have different contents and  
I'd like

to unify them.


It's relatively straightforward (although extremely tedious) to open  
up sqlite databases and dump their contents.  You can even compare  
two sqlite dumps ...

If this was an iPhone hack of interest to millions, no doubt someone  
would study it in great detail, but for a one-off task it's going to  
be quicker and easier to export some data from one file, swap the  
database for another one, and import it again...


While reading the database file is probably safe enough, I expect  
that there are warnings in the Yojimbo documentation to the effect  
that one shouldn't try to mess with the data other than via the  
correct interface. So I think the solution is to identify the changed  
items somehow and export/import them using commands or AppleScript.

Re: Applescripting Yojimbo: Empty items?

I've only spent a few minutes with Yojimbo, so I'm a real beginner as  
far as scripting it goes.


This code finds some of my web archives that don't appear in the  
browser.


tell application "Yojimbo"
set i to every web archive item
repeat with j in i
if comments of j = "" then
set flagged of j to true
end if
end repeat
end tell

It's as if the source URL and the comments field agree only when the  
web archive has been downloaded.


I'm probably talking nonsense again...

Yes.

I now realise that .webloc files are URLs... :)
