I've just looked at Yojimbo, and it's nearly perfect for my needs in
organizing a huge number of little snippets except for one, tiny,
little detail.
I'm currently using a small program called Little Secrets to store
notes, text, rich text, images, and PDF's. I specifically use this
because the files are encrypted. It doesn't do a great job in weeding
out and organizing can get a bit cumbersome with LARGE lists, but it
does one thing "just right" - when I open up an encrypted archive it
asks me for my password. Then it lets me work with that whole archive
and skim through, use the data in it, copy, paste, create, etc.,
without re-entering the password. When I re-open the document after
closing it, it asks me for the password again, but NOT UNTIL I CLOSE
IT OUT. I keep a large number of passwords around for ssh access to
various systems, etc.
I can't seem to find the settings for Yojimbo that amount to "let me
enter the password once while I'm working with the program, let me
skim through a number of encrypted items, then let me close out the
encrypted items" instead of "enter the password every time I want to
glance at an encrypted item" or "your encrypted password is always
stored and everything encrypted gets opened, period."
Since Yojimbo needs to stay open and is database driven, I can see
where you may need to make it time-based rather than waiting for the
program or data archive to close, but still. I don't want to keep
entering the password over and over, and I want to be password
protected if I haven't used Yojimbo for a few (preferably user-set)
minutes.
