Thanks for the info

not too sure what to do with the script.

I suppose copy and paste into the script editor?

then?

let's hope BB puts this capability into Yojimbo. It would make people more willing to switch to Yojimbo if they can easily move their existing collection into YJ easily.

Hi there

I have an excel database with serial numbers and such that I need to
import into Yojimbo.

I went through the help and the support section ( I guess there's no
manual for Yojimbo?) but there was no info on what kind of formats YJ
can import.

I tried XML but it didn't work

thanks!

My impression is that you can import files that correspond to Yojimbo
item types (ie, text files and PDFs). However, it is possible to
import other types of files, such as lists of serial numbers, with a
little help from AppleScript. I am familiar with at least one case
where this has been done to import sets of items exported from Excel
in tab-delimited text format:

I suspect you can find others solutions in the archives, too.

Let me know if that looks useful or if you need help running or
adapting the script.
