Re: Happy with Yojimbo the way it is!
Lists like these are easy places for people who are very happy with an program to start building wish lists and even discuss shortcomings and workarounds. I don't think the people on this list are unhappy with Yojimbo in anyway. Really, how can they be? It is an excellent program and one that I recommend to anyone who asks. Any many who don't. I follow the GTD methodology quite seriously but as it is stated clearly, everyone needs to make their own system for Getting Things Done. Mr. Allen explains his reasonings and methods but everyone needs to look at themselves and the work and figure out how to make it work for them. I use just one program for my GTD system and it is Yojimbo. It is not designed for this, but it provides everything I need to make my own version work. I own other tools such as Omnifocus, and have run with Thinking Rock, Tasks and others for awhile, but they did not work for me because I needed a bit more control over the system. At the end of the day though, within Yojimbo I could use nested folders for more organizing. It is one of two features that could be added that would be of great value. I don't 'need' them, but would sure use them. It is not a make or break feature, but one that I would sing out for joy if it were added. And to clarify, my system is not waaay to complicated :-) If you give someone folders it is natural for them to want to put them into drawers or boxes or other folders. That is what a folder is, a collection of things. I don't have 100 loose folders lying around my actual physical desk. I have them organized in groups and categories in a drawer and on an organizer. Asking Barebones to take this pretty standard methodology for grouping items together is not a stretch or a failing in anyones system. You don't have to use it, it may be somewhat archaic when you have search, and tags and labels, but it is also simple and clean and comfortable to many people. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Happy with Yojimbo the way it is!
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. david On May 1, 2008, at 3:16 PM, Scott J. Lopez wrote: 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. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

When Yojimbo first came out I thought the lack of nested folders was a limitation. It took me a while, but I'm fully converted to the tag it and dump it all in one place method of organizing, and Yojimbo is primarily responsible for helping me see the advantages. Nested folders were once the best solution to organizing files on a computer, but now that we have very fast computers that can find things very quickly, the need for nested folders is going away. In fact, since we have such large hard drives that can store so many files, nested folders have begun to become a hindrance rather than a help in finding documents. Here's an example of the now what folder did I put that in problem. In Mail I have _one_ folder in which I store the current year's sent and received messages. When I want to find a message, I can just search, usually by subject, sender, or recipient and find the message I want in a couple of seconds. I save tons of time over when I used to have bunches of folders in which I could store emails. My father still uses the bunches of folders method, and half the time when he goes to find an email he can't find it because he can't remember which folder he put it in. Another thing I do to help me find files easily is giving them very descriptive file names, both in Yojimbo and in the Finder. For instance, a receipt from LL Bean might be named: LL Bean - 2008.04.21 - Shirts for Spring and tagged receipts. Or an article I downloaded from New Scientist might be named: Do we read too much into our need for sleep? - being-human - 15 March 2008 - New Scientist and tagged appropriately. I'd say 80% of the time I search on a file name to find what I'm looking for. As you noted, I think inertia keeps most people thinking they have to keep their file names under 32 characters. My goal is to name files so that not only I know what's in them, but so that anyone that looked at a file on my computer would know what's in it based on the name. I believe that if people gave their files good descriptive names, the fuss about tagging vs. nested folders would nearly be a non-issue. All IMHO of course. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Yojimbo is nice but i thought about migrating to other applications as well because of the backup-issue.

Lopez wrote: Krzysztof, my message wasn't directed at you specificlly but in response to the many I wish Yojimbo did... messages I've seen over the years on this list. Yojimbo is a nice, small application that was meant for organizing some specific types of data. It's fast, it's lean, and it just works. I remember when BBEdit was a small lean application that grew and grew over the years into a very powerful IDE. It grew so large that BareBones decided to release TextWrangler (another great product) to bring back a small, lean text editor. Some of us don't need all the power of BBEdit, and some of us don't need Yojimbo to edit PDF files, graphics, store video, manage my todo's, manage my files, develop web sites, blog, upload, download, and many of the other requests I've seen here. I'm sure if the developers took all time to add all these featuers it would take years of man-power and the price would skyrocket. I am just posting a reminder to Bare Bones that your product is well appreciated as is! Maybe there are some others out there like me? Oh, it certainly is appreciated - I have been using Yojimbo for just over two years now, and it's one of the few applications on the Mac that I have used consistently for all that time. (During that time I have gotten used to the idea that there are unlikely to ever be nested folders :) I have tried a few more general organisers which handle all sorts of files and I find that they actually slow me down - I would rather just know where my project directories are and edit things from there, rather than have to edit, re-import, update checksums and so on. Yojimbo's excellent Applescript support means that I can do an awful lot of custom work as well. (I would very much like to have more powerful smart folders mind you, which are not just AND tag lists. I think that's in the vein of the Applescript support i.e. allowing users to set up their own filters and process things their own way if they need to.) It does take all sorts though; I know people who swear by EagleFiler, or Evernote, or plain text notes or whatever. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Happy with Yojimbo the way it is!
I'm really glad someone spoke up for Yojimbo! (Thanks Scott) I've been getting tired of seeing this list become a dump for what people don't like about Yojimbo and move away from being a helpful resource. I have no problem with feature requests but It's been absolutely over the top in the last few months. I asked a pretty simple question just after the latest release regarding moving PDFs of images to the new Image smart collection. The question got completely lost in the sea of feature requests and was never answered. (I came up with a solution a few days later.) With that said I’m going to make a non-feature request to the Bare Bones/Yojimbo team : Please don’t include a nested folder feature in the next or any future releases of Yojimbo. PLEASE!!! I know this has been said before on this list but I’m going to repeat it. If tagging, labels, smart collections, tag collections, search, date sorting, file type sorting and folders (even if they aren’t nested), are not enough for you to organize your information then : 1. Your archiving system is waaay to complicated. In which case I would highly recommend the book “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. 2. Yojimbo just doesn’t work with your personal information management style. If you want nested folders with the ability to quickly add and retrieve then upgrade to Leopard and just use the Finder in combination with Spotlight and/or Quicksilver. Yojimbo does what it's supposed to do really, really well. Simplify the process of archiving and retrieving reference items. Bare Bones doesn't promise any more or less and they shouldn't. Read the product description : http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/index.shtml and find the section on how Yojimbo is an excellent calendar, mail, blog cms, rss feed reader and alternative operating system. Did you find it? Hopefully you never will. Bare Bones, your product is AWESOME!!!

Re: Happy with Yojimbo the way it is!
Krzysztof, my message wasn't directed at you specificlly but in response to the many I wish Yojimbo did... messages I've seen over the years on this list. Yojimbo is a nice, small application that was meant for organizing some specific types of data. It's fast, it's lean, and it just works. I remember when BBEdit was a small lean application that grew and grew over the years into a very powerful IDE. It grew so large that BareBones decided to release TextWrangler (another great product) to bring back a small, lean text editor. Some of us don't need all the power of BBEdit, and some of us don't need Yojimbo to edit PDF files, graphics, store video, manage my todo's, manage my files, develop web sites, blog, upload, download, and many of the other requests I've seen here. I'm sure if the developers took all time to add all these featuers it would take years of man-power and the price would skyrocket. I am just posting a reminder to Bare Bones that your product is well appreciated as is! Maybe there are some others out there like me?

Maybe a few bugs need to be fixed but please don't give in to feature creep and try to make Yojimbo the kitchen sink application. I keep Yojimbo running 7x24 and don't want it to become a hog on resources. Yojimbo does what it does and does so very well. Thank you Barebones! Well, I am also happy with Yojimbo. It is very stable and rock solid application, but would be great to have just a little more functionality.

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 collections.
