No matter what you use (collections, tags, labels): everything ends up in your one and only library. All that Yojimbo offers is different views, not separation of data. You can use collections to logically separate items. But collections are not very useful if you use the quick input panel a lot. As you said, you can use tags. Neither way provides real separation of data. Sebastian -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: newbie question
Here's my question about Yojiimbo. If I'm understanding right, there's essentially only one database for the Yojimbo application. Even if I want to use Yojimbo to catalog stuff for several very different things, they will all be together when I open Yojimbo. However, I can tag them separately to differentiate them. Are there other ways that I can keep the various mutually exclusive parts of my life apart in Yojimbo? I've never managed to make any part of my life exclusive from any other part. :-) If I'm surfing the web, and I find something related to work, I don't ignore it: I stuff it in Yojimbo for attention when I'm back on the clock. Likewise, if I'm at work, and somebody mentions a great movie I should see, I don't tune it out: I Yojimbo it. One of the design principles behind Yojimbo was that you shouldn't have to switch modes (or documents) in order to enter data. In my opinion, having to decide which Library to put something in is too much decision making up front, and it reduces the chance you'll put the information into _any_ Library. Tags are one way to let you split information up, and because tags add information to an item instead of segregating items off into separate compartments, you don't incur the Where did I file that? cost when you want to find an item again. Collections are another collating mechanism, but depending on how you enter information, they can be awkward to use efficiently. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: newbie question
It took me awhile to get used to the one-bucket system at first, but once I did, it is now second nature. I prefer having everything in one place now. However, I would still like it if you could have more than one YJ library at a time (and sync them all over a single dotmac account) so that my wife and I could have separate buckets. Given that individulal dotmac accounts are probably very often used by families of users, this seems a reasonable idea. I'd even be willing to pay for a second license to do so. aj On Dec 11, 2007 8:32 AM, Steve Kalkwarf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's my question about Yojiimbo.

The way all the parts are wired together, using .Mac and more than 1 Library is a non-starter. You might be better served with a .Mac family license, allowing you and your wife to keep separate Libraries and sync states. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

There is a way to do this, although not exactly how you described: Create two users on a single Mac. Sign up for a Family Pack .Mac account, which provides each person with sync storage. As for blessing the concept of two or more users sharing a single user account on a single Mac, that seems unlikely to me, given that multiple user accounts and fast user switching are available. b -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: newbie question
Steve Kalkwarf [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07-12-11 11.51 Ah, but the problem (for us) with that is that we want to share calendars contacts, so separate accounts are no good. What we do in our house is cross-publish calendars. I tried all sorts of evil tricks to allow my calendars to be multi-writer, and they never worked out. Same here, we publish some of our calendars to a server and subscribe to each other - not perfect but it has worked well for the last year or so. -- Jan Erik Moström, www.mostrom.pp.se -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.
