The blogger made a mistake; It appears Eagle Filer uses a combination
of flat file structure AND Core Data (SQLite db) for its database,
instead of Yojimbo's exclusive use of Core Data. I would probably
prefer a similar hybrid in Yojimbo, but that strikes the blogger's
claim about being "a little uneasy about having to run an additional
database engine, with all the possibilities of corruption and loss",
especially because Core Data is already OS part of the OS
architecture, not to mention solid. THere's no additional "running"
involved for either application.
Personally, I've never had a problem with Yojimbo's Drop Dock, I
agree nested folders would be nice (or something more usable/
innovative), and they're just wrong about their Core Data claims.
I've never used Eagle Filer, but Yojimbo seems to have been
erroneously represented in the final decision-making.

Hi,
I just read Melodie Neal's conclusions on the best file-organiser-
litter-sorter app's on the Mac. Seems EagleFiler pipped Yojimbo to
the post because of the the flat file structure (instead of the
SQLite db) and.... wait for it... (drum roll now...)... Nested
Folders!!!!
But that debate's closed, right?

Some weeks ago I undertook to do a review of Yojimbo and applications
of a similar ilk. At the time I expected to spend a few days looking
at software and writing a page or two of assessment: this has proved
to be an unreasonably optimistic estimate of the work involved.
Since I have already written quite a screed, and I'm no where near
done, I've decided to post the documents on my blog, starting at
http://melodien.blogspot.com/2007/03/litter-sorters-personal-
evaluation-of.html
. This is merely part one, part two is in late draft and should
go up
in the next day or so; parts three, four and probably five will
follow along in due course. You will see that emailing this stuff to
the list would have been completely impractical.
I hope my maunderings will be of practical use to someone.
