That's correct. :-)

If you need to handle large quantities of large PDFs, you'll want a media
catalog/file manager as this is quite a different sort of task from those
Yojimbo tackles.

Re: Yojimbo and PDF files (wish list).

[Brian Durant]

Yes, the PDF file issue for Yojimbo seems to actually be a two part issue:

1) a large amount of small PDF files (under 5 MB each), or
2) a smaller amount of PDF files (over 5 MB each).

I don't know about other Yojimbo users, but I have sort of a
combination of the two. I have a number of PDF files that are software
manuals (GraphicConverter, Take Control, etc. that are up to around 25
MB in size. I also have  a fairly large number of PDF files that are
digital receipts of software and hardware purchases that I either have
scanned a copy of or "printed" to PDF. I also have a number of web
archive files as well as a number of files that I have chosen to make
PDF files rather than web archives. I have about 50 files so far, but
the amount increases by two or more per week these days.

As far as Yep is concerned, I have stopped using it at least for now.
I took a break even before the issues with the 1.5 upgrade as I and
another user never got a response to a problem with generating or
renaming a  scanned document where Yep just kept spinning its wheels.
It was not even able to create a PDF with default naming by the
scanner.

Cheers,

Brian

What would be a large amount of PDFs?

I see two different possible uses for Yojimbo:

1-For stroing info scraps. I have 100s of PDFs already in YJ and it's
doing a fine job with no issues, but there are not massive PDFs
excepts for a few.

2-For storing a catalogue of PDFs, for example all my design/print
output PDFs. These are larger files and there are a whole lot more of
them. For the minute, I'm not using YJ for this. I would like to but I
don't think BareBones designed the software for this type of function.
If each PDF is 5MB and I add a couple every day, I'd have a pretty
unrully database very fast and I don't think it would have a good
effect on my .Mac syncing either!

Cheers,

Pat

Nothing bad if you know what to watch out for. Yep changed the way it
looks for PDF files, it's more like the Finder now then iPhoto. But in
the end you'll notice that it's actually quite the same still, once it
is setup correctly. People were warned that it's a major upgrade and
these often do not come lightly. Yep is still a great piece of software.

To read up on it go and look on Yahoo under "Yep Group", you can get the
whole thread there on it ...

Yojimbo and PDF files (wish list).

[Brian Durant]

For a while now, I have been a licensed user of both Yojimbo and Yep.
I have come to the conclusion after a number of months of use, that
Yojimbo is by far the better piece of software for me, particularly
after the recent Yep 1.5 upgrade PDF file debacle.

Is Bare Bones taking this issue with a large number of PDF files and
the Yojimbo database seriously?

The general opinion on the list has seemed in the past to be that
using Yep or some other program was necessary to avoid risking
database degradation when storing a large number of PDF files. There
hasn't been much on this issue for some time on the list and I would
just like to make sure that Bare Bones doesn't drop the ball.

Cheers,

Brian
