I ditched NoteBook in favor of Yojimbo. I still have 15 days left on

I am now also looking at EagleFiler from C-command Software, Michael
Tsai the SpamSieve developer. So far, it looks awesome, but appears
to lack encryption like Yojimbo has.
I am just wondering if any of you folks here have tried/used
EagleFiler and if so, what your opinions are.
Thanx in advance,

I tried out EagleFiler for a while, attracted by nested folders and
the ability to store pretty much any file type, but in the end I ended
up thinking "why am I not just using the Finder and Spotlight here?" I
am fairly disciplined with my project folders anyway, and EagleFiler
was just an extra step between creation or receipt and filing that was
getting in the way. Write a new script or make a new texture... right,
that's ready... oh bother it, now I have to import it into EagleFiler
as well. I ended up leaving things on the desktop "to be filed" which
is not a good result.
I found the tagging system inconvenient (all tags have to be pre-
declared) and the fact that you can't import bookmarks or weblocs was
irksome. It does lack file-level encryption, yes, another annoying
part. In the end I did simply move back to using the Finder - though
EagleFiler does make this incredibly easy, seeing as how it stores
everything in folders anyway.
I do know some people who absolutely love it mind you.
Incidentally I have an ongoing mindmap with personal notes on a few
different "junk drawer" apps (as well as other types) - http://www.mindmeister.com/maps/show_public/6347995
- including EagleFiler, Yojimbo and Notebook.
