I don't know the other products you folks are talking about, but if they can refer to an item by URL, you can create a Yojimbo URL with the Edit-Copy Item Link menu item. This will give you a URL of the form: x-yojimbo-item://3D2206E9-8110-47F0-A113-51AA5E2C8597 Otherwise, your observation that Yojimbo copies its items into the database is correct, and they cannot be seen by other applications without a lot of trickery on their part. -- Steve Kalkwarf [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: Sente and Yojimbo
Have you seen Papers yet for managing your articles - it's great especially for medical research (it automatically grabs all the keywords from PubMed - but you can add your own as well). http://mekentosj.com/papers/ On 7-May-07, at 8:31 AM, Karen Holdeman wrote: Has anyone used Sente and Yojimbo together to categorize biomedical research articles? I have several hundred articles downloaded and filed in folders in Finder which I would like to put in Yojimbo with tags. However, by moving them to Yojimbo , Sente can no longer open them. Sente (from third street software) is a bibliography search, file, and format application. It also files articles downloaded, but I have not found a good way to link already downloaded articles to it. Sente will search my hard drive and find an article in its bibliography database using Spotlight, and will find articles that I have filed in Yojimbo, but will not open them. Ideally, I would like Sente to be able to find the article, and when I click on the PDF icon within Sente, either open the article in Preview, or in Yojimbo, but instead, nothing happens, even if I have not deleted the article from the Finder.
