![]() ![]() Yojimbo 2.0 will then politely ask you if you want to overwrite the previous URL first. In that case, you’ll first need to copy the URL to the clipboard. When capturing a URL, Yojimbo 2.0’s Quick Input Panel (QIP) will grab the name of the page you’re on, except when a previous page you invoked QIP for was not saved. This panel now lets you immediately set flags, properties, labels, and comments (also known as metadata) before adding the item to the database. Except for this disappointment and for the inability to import QuickTime and other movie formats, Yojimbo 2.0 has a very nice set of new features.

Its most important shortcoming in my opinion was that I could not use it to archive e-mail. The appeal of Yojimbo 1.0 was in its fast launch time and its elegant and efficient interface. Each of these applications has its own appeal, but I still find Yojimbo an elegant solution for saving content that I think I might need to search for in the future.

PIMs -as do their enterprise counterparts- have major problems: how easy is it to add content, and once it's in there, how easy is it to retrieve that content. A PIM that has many rich and relevant items can help you with writing a report, or preparing a presentation.
