Utility organizes miscellaneous content
MacNN has reviewed Yojimbo 2.0, an organizational utility produced by Bare Bones. The app collects various pieces of information, such as notes, images, passwords, receipts and PDF documents, making them easier to find and sort through for future reference. Among the new features in v2.0 is the Tag Explorer, which enables filtering beyond basic categories.
Also new to the app is the Quick Input panel, which saves information from the Mac OS clipboard, and a Save PDF to Yojimbo option which makes it easier to import documents. When importing images, users can now preview files. All of the upgrades are said to improve an already useful program, though the Drop Dock remains accessible only when Yojimbo is open. Bare Bones is selling the software for $39.

the stupid hit-whoring of MacNN. Just point directly to the article, not a stupid summary worded to make it seem like it's on a separate site.

Inaccurate review and a note

The "quick input panel" and "save PDF to Yojimbo" features are not new to 2.0.
Yojimbo 1.x and 2.x sharing a database (e.g. if you sync multiple machines via MobileMe syncing of Yojimbo data) is not supported, so if anyone besides me who uses Yojimbo is still running Tiger on one of their machines*, you have to stick with 1.x if you want to keep your data in sync.
(I know, I know! I'm decommissioning my old Tiger-running G5 in the very near future and moving into a Hackintosh running Snow Leopard.)

Yojimbo 1.x and 2.x are incompatible? You're kidding? I would have thought that 2.0 added no new features such that the file formats would be exactly the same!
You know, the way Apple does this with all their iWork and iLife software. Oh, wait.....
