To be honest, I'm not sure what the fuss over PDFs is all about. My
Yojimbo library contains over 2000 PDFs, with sizes ranging from a
few K to 25+ MB, and I don't have any problems. My whole Yojimbo
library is 9063 items and right at 4 GB in size.
I'm not coming close to this database size, but I don't have any
problems with pdf files either. Counting 727 lucky pdf files at the
moment with sizes of up to ~30MB, making up a db size of roughly
400MB. Since I do remember the following message from not too long
ago, I don't know why things should have changed by now?
I'm not sure either. Ever since I bought Yojimbo (which was
probably about a month or so after it was released, and about a
week after downloading the demo), I've been using it to keep
track of papers. As an astronomer, every morning I check out all
the new papers that have been published that day, and I download
any that are related to my field (or that just look
interesting), and print them into Yojimbo. I do the same
whenever I look up a paper online for reference (or whatever). I
currently have 331 papers in Yojimbo, ranging from 4-page papers
generated from LaTeX to 75-page papers scanned from the print
journals as high-quality image PDFs. About half of them are
currently tagged, and I'm steadily going through the backlog of
untagged papers.
I do notice delays (of the spinning beachball variety) whenever
I do a *content* (as opposed to tag or comments) search on my
entire set of papers. This is probably because there's a *lot*
of words in that many PDF files. I've found that things work
best for me if I keep paper subjects (and/or keywords) as tags,
and a list of authors in the comments section (turning a list of
50+ authors into tags was just taking way too long, and
generating too many tags). It *would* be nice to be able to
produce custom searches (e.g. search "tags and comments") for
when I know who the author is and what the subject is, but both
subjects are very common. And nested folders might be nice.
Still, Yojimbo does what I want it to, and it means I don't have
to spend time trying to organize my collection of papers, and
that's worth quite a bit.
