Didn't mean to be prescriptive. I am not a programmer and could care less about core data or whatever. Certainly I have some understanding of technology and it seems bizarre that no release has been forthcoming that plays well with Time Machine - it certainly is an indication Core Data

, but it would be far too slow for storing the web, PDF, and image data that Yojimbo is capable of. The In Memory store would solve your large Time Machine backups since none of your data would be backed up (since all your Yojimbo data would be in RAM), but every time you quit Yojimbo you'd lose

Coming to think of it, there would be a way to back up Yojimbo with Time Machine: you just need to create a sparse bundle disk image with Disk Utility, put your Yj DB on that and make the Yojimbo folder in ~/Library/Application Support/ an alias to the mountpoint of the image in /Volumes

don't backup because it's inconvenient which is one of the main things that Apple was trying to address with Time Machine.
