Agree totally, though I don't want to use two app's to store stuff and so am sticking to Yojimbo, with regular backups, a few Applescripts to export etc. and a deep sigh of longing every time I see nested folders elsewhere in a similar app! On Apr 4, 2007, at 4:04 AM, Alan Schmitt wrote:

Nested folders are more visual, for me at least. I find it easier to maintain a mental overview of what I have collected with nested folders - which is important for me. And, of course, what's nice about including Nested Folders is that you don't have to use them if you don't want to! On

Yep. Plus the Yojimbo PDF Service is an alias to the application, not a script. Dunno if that makes a difference. Probably an Apple thing, but it would be nice to see Barebones kludge to make it work. On May 17, 2008, at 9:00 AM, Paul Richardson wrote: On 2008-05-15, at 18:48, Patrick
