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.
I agree, this would be very useful…
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.
…but not for this. I'm also a designer and keep a similar reference, however I like a visual catalogue of all the images - Yojimbo is just going to give me a text list of files when what I need is a thumbnail graphic type arrangement for quick visual scanning. I'd recommend iView media pro for this task (although this has been bought by M$ now and given their track record with perfectly good mac software… well, we'll see… http://www.iview-multimedia.com/ )
iView is great for this sort of visual catalogue and it's keywords feature can be used effectively as tags for your images. You can also set up an iView catalogue to auto-update from one or many folders, so whenever you open it it'll always be up to date with your latest additions. I use it in conjunction with Hazel ( http:// www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.html ) for an automated scrapbook building tool - a folder on my desktop acts as a general inbox, any image files dumped in there is moved by Hazel to a scrapbook inbox (movies go to another, PDF's another, etc.) and the next time I open my iView scrapbook catalogue for inspiration I know that it'll scan my pictures inbox and bring it bang up to date for me, I can then add keywords (or use nested folders… ;o) to organise. Works a treat - i guess iPhoto might do the same although i don't use it.
That said, for those images that are useful to keep in a Yojimbo note, a drag & drop note-from-image feature would be a very handy timesaver (although, if you drag 'n drop multiple images does this make a bunch of individual notes, or a single one with all the images… hmmm)
