Then from Leap or Yep latest versions, pick the `/Library/Application Support/OpenMeta/backups folder and it should do it.

Also - to repeat - if you want time machine to back up changes made by tagging files, you can use the advanced prefs to increment modification dates when the file changes. I find that doing this makes apps like pages think that someone has changed a file under it, so I get the occasional weird dialog from them.

I would suggest getting off the grid and enjoying some analog diversions.

But, in case you can't help yourself, if you are tagging with OpenMeta Tags and the drive is indexed by Spotlight then it should work as you hope.

So here's my idea: I remove and take with me in an external enclosure my projects hard drive (2 TB) that holds all the projects, songs, filmscores etc I've written over the past 10 years to finish tagging the files.

The question is:

When I get back home, will the desktop computer see all the tags that I've been putting in? File paths are obviously the same because it's the same physical drive.

What is the best way of dealing with it? Or should I just be enjoying the sun, cappuccinos and cocktails?

Best

I've had yep since version 1, but rarely used it. I'm now in the process of digitizing my office with a scanner and want to test my systems before I move on.

I reset yep as described in one of the other posts by deleting the plists. I then opened Yep and selected all filetypes anywhere and told yep to remove them. I then had nothing in Yep. I had also removed all the managed locations in the preferences/managed.

I then selected the manage PDF, MS and Pages docs, but selected no locations.



I then dragged a folder containing subfolders onto the yep 'add' dropbox.

Here's where the problem begins. Yep tells me it's adding files, but cannot add all due to file permissions. However, I cannot find any permission problems.



I then return to Yep to find documents in Yep from other locations. How did that happen?

I seem to be unable to control Yep. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11626#Comment_11626 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11626#Comment_11626 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:47:30 -0700 adlister http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11625#Comment_11625 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11625#Comment_11625 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:37:53 -0700 adlister

Try this…

1. Select the file and right-click on it. In the context menu select Show Related Documents. This will give you a narrower view and populate the crumb trail with the appropriate Tags. (Note: You can pick one of the current results and fine-tune the criteria by showing related docs again and again.)

2. If you are in a specific directory then the Bookmark will add Tags and move the files to this directory (which may be desirable). If not, then click the Locations dropdown and choose a higher level folder (your User folder is a good place, not too, too broad) and the Bookmark will only add Tags when files are dropped on it.

Hope this makes sense. (I think it's a really handy way to handle this.) Cheers!

When I get a regular invoice (e.g. monthly credit card bill) I think it is no point in tagging each month the new PDF in the same way. It seems natural to tag a folder and just drop it there. So I can find these files easily without having to worry that these type of documents have different tags every month. (I never remember the exact set of tags I have given.)

The more I use Leap and Yep the more I think it would be nice to have a single powerful app that can do all instead. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11619#Comment_11619 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11619#Comment_11619 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:58:35 -0700 eN0ch http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1735&Focus=11618#Comment_11618 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1735&Focus=11618#Comment_11618 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:51:28 -0700 BLUEFROG

The more I thought about it the more I realized that this was a pure Spotlight issue. Yep clearly isn't querying Spotlight the same way I was with the mdfind option of "-onlyin" even when I restricted Yep's search to just my home directory because the Yep query was taking so long. But, the root problem was still a Spotlight problem. After some internet searching I found the issue: Spotlight (and thus Yep) was doing a manual search of my bootcamp partition. It was a mounted volume after all. Since Spotlight can't write to the partition to save the indexes it appeared to be falling back to an old fashioned file by file search.

Adding bootcamp to the ignore list made both Spotlight and Yep instantly speedy. It also explains why Yep worked fine on my old mac but not my spiffy new one, I didn't have a bootcamp partition on the old one.

Anyway, problem solved. If Yep seems to be searching forever try the same search with the command line "mdfind" tool. If that takes a long time the check to see if you've got mounted partitions that are not writeable by Spotlight but that Spotlight isn't ignoring. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1745&Focus=11616#Comment_11616 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1745&Focus=11616#Comment_11616 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:58:33 -0700 BLUEFROG
Since Yep is more focused on Tags, tagging a folder is not possible. Bookmarks are the "folders" created by location and tagging.

If you really feel you must, you can actually mark a folder as Managed from within Leap or Fresh. Right-click on a file and choose Mark as Managed from the context menu.

Cheers!
Jim

PS: I go back and forth on this issue myself and I have a feature request ticket filed on it.

Narrowing the search scope is always a good idea from a performance standpoint. Using "Anywhere" or "Computer" and the like take longer since there's more of the index to query. I suggest setting your Home location to a more specific (ie. commonly used) location. Better performance and more useful results off the top. Cheers!

Jim ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1742&Focus=11614#Comment_11614 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1742&Focus=11614#Comment_11614 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:32:50 -0700 BLUEFROG
1. The Managed Locations are recursive. That is, it will see whatever is in subfolders of the Managed folder. This is why it's often best to use more specific locations than broad ones. (This is also beneficial from a performance standpoint. You can read my manifesto for more on that - lol)

2. Checking the "Add tagged documents from any location" will pick up any OMTagged file regardless if it's in a Managed location or not. (This is often where people end up with more files than they expected.)

3. If you unchecked all three fileTypes in the Managed Preferences this would just mean that Yep would not automatically Manage any files, anywhere. This is a convenience operation, not a necessity to run Yep. You could drag and drop Manage all your files just fine. What this does is allow you to specify locations you may commonly use to drop files / work in / etc.
(Also, remember that these locations are dynamic. You can add and remove them as you need to. Say you're using it for a job - dropping PDFs, etc. in it. At the end of the job you could remove it from the Managed Prefs and new files in it would not be tracked anymore.)

4. Leap does seem simpler in a way because Yep has the added requirement of Managing files. But Leap also sees files differently than Yep. Yep automatically filters out unManaged files which makes it easier to filter out the noise of a directory and find the relevant items without being Tagged.
On a side note: I think part of the problem is people's misunderstanding (or misuse) of what Managing files is all about. This may be just a philosophical difference but you shouldn't Manage everything you have. (If you want to see all your files then use Leap.) No one needs to Manage every email they've ever received, or every file they've ever created. Manage the things you need to Manage. Use Leap for power-searching (you can still mark them as Managed from within Leap, for use in Yep, if you want to.)

Hope this helps (and makes some kind of sense).

I'm not sure what you're seeing.

I made a new folder on my Desktop (not a Managed location) called newFolder. I dropped that into the Managed Preferences in Yep with PDFs, etc. checked. Then I dropped a brand new PDF into the folder in the Finder. A few moments later it showed up in Yep (Remember that Spotlight has to index the change so there may be a little delay depending on what Spotlight is up to.).

As far as seeing the folders with Managed files, do you have the Locations pane visible? You may need to right-click the toolbar and replace the default set as shown here…


About Yep not importing some fileTypes, could you give me more info on that? Yep should Manage any file you have permission to Tag regardless of fileType (though its visibility is dependent on it being in a Spotlight indexable place). ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11612#Comment_11612 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1721&Focus=11612#Comment_11612 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:51:42 -0700 BLUEFROG

Is there any reason why a folder dragged into yep does not appear in the managed locations in the preferences? How can I check which folders are being managed? I've also got the problem that Yep told me when I dragged the folder into Yep that it couldn't include all files. I've checked the read permissions and there is no problem there. I'm now in the situation where I've got Yep managing a folder, but don't know which files have been excluded. Kind of defeats the point of managing folders for me. It also makes me unsure if I can trust Yep to manage my files as some may not be included.

I have to say, this keeps pushing me back to Leap and asking the question what the point of Yep is. Leap is easier to configure and does everything Yep does bar the scanning. I've set my scanner to open a new scanned document in Yep and it works really well. The new document appears in Yep and I can rename it, tag it and place it in a location I want it, it really is superb. My only snag is that the management thing just isn't working. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1742&Focus=11610#Comment_11610 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1742&Focus=11610#Comment_11610 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:34:45 -0700 svs777
It is still unclear to me how yep manages its files. the PDF, MS and Pages option dialog actually says "Found in these locations:" giving the impression that it will log only PDF, MS and Pages in those locations. Experimentation tells me this is untrue. I am unable to find any clear documentation on Yep's management rules, and more importantly, how to change them. It seems that Leap is a darn site simpler to configure, making me really wonder about the use of Yep. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1745&Focus=11609#Comment_11609 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1745&Focus=11609#Comment_11609 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:20:13 -0700 Martin

A search (looking for my yep license key as an example) limited to my machine:
Mikes-iMac:~ michaelf$ time mdfind "Yep 2.0 key kagi pdf" -onlyin /
/Users/michaelf/Documents/Filed Documents/2010/8/4/Yep 2.0 Key.pdf

real 0m0.097s

A search not limited to my machine:
Mikes-iMac:~ michaelf$ time mdfind "Yep 2.0 key kagi pdf"
/Users/michaelf/Documents/Filed Documents/2010/8/4/Yep 2.0 Key.pdf

real 4m22.361s
user 0m0.010s
sys 0m0.006s

It's important to note that the second output returns the results virtually immediately but carries on searching for another 4 minutes and 21 seconds. Yep appears to have the same behaviour. Finder has similar behaviour if I select "This Mac" but not if I select my home dir. Yep eventually finds something, but it takes so long to search it's not worth using. I've tried limiting the default search to just the computer rather than "Anywhere" but without luck.

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion on how to properly scrub spotlight or resolve the issue. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=13&Focus=11607#Comment_11607 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=13&Focus=11607#Comment_11607 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 06:07:27 -0700 BLUEFROG

Dropping a folder is another matter entirely. Yep will Manage any fileType included in the folder you drop whereas Yep will only autoManage the aforementioned types.

If you are using a specific folder then I would add that to the Managed Preferences. This could even be a root type folder. For example, say you have a "Work" folder with subfolders for "Company A", "Company B", etc. Dropping PDF, iWork, or Office files into the subfolders of this Managed directories will be automatically Managed.

Also, you can exclude fileTypes from the view by holding the Command key and selection the fileTypes dropdown.

Does that help?

Just a quick note on the "backup metadata" option in the file menu. I clicked on it, and a dialogue box stated that how the backup would be dealt with, and that it was going to be a lengthy process. I decided that now wasn't the time for a lengthy backup, but was fairly frustrated that there was no "cancel" option on the dialogue box. Only an "ok" option. Even "quit leap" was blanked out on the file menu, so my only real option (other than "ok") was to force quit leap (which I did). It seems a bit silly to warn the user that they're in for a long process, but give no way to back out of it. I'd recommend a "cancel" option there.

You have it correct. You can reManage files by manually dragging them onto the DropZone, dock icon, etc. but Yep does assume that you removed them (unManaged them) with good reason and won't autoManage those particular files.

1. Open fresh, use quicklook on a file.
2. Switch applications
3. Switch back to Fresh, the quicklook is now active on the first file instead of the file that was previously being viewed.

I use fresh to view .docs & .xls instead of opening them in a bloated editor.

Another small request: When using quicklook, is there a way to use the default quicklook shortcut of "⌥ + ⌃ + Y" to get straight to fullscreen mode? Currently, you have to hit spacebar to activate quicklook, then another click to select the window, then resize or full-screen. The beauty of quicklook is the quickness, even quicker with the hotkeys enabled.

You are right, I guess. I thought these files are new, as my bibliographic manager resorted and renamed all the files. But obviously these files still had property "not managed" from my previous attempts in Yep.

Just to clarify things: Am I right that there is a "managed" property and it can be true, false or not set. The folders I set in the preferences (to mark files automatically as managed) change all files with the "managed = not set" property to "managed = true", but doesn't touch the "managed = false" files in order to be able to manually remove files in that folders. Can you confirm that or does it work differently?
Thanks. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1742&Focus=11590#Comment_11590 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1742&Focus=11590#Comment_11590 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:10:45 -0700 svs777
I deleted my yep plist, I removed all the managed folders, I unchecked 'add tagged files from any location'.

I did not use the auto import function.

I then checked yep to manage PDF, MS and Pages documents and selected specific locations and hey presto documents from just about anywhere are in yep. How on earth does this system work?

My assumption has been that if I give it locations, it only manages files from those locations or else that whole 'manage' thing is pointless.

All I want is to be able to manage a specific set of documents from specific folders in Yep, which at the moment is proving impossible as behind the scenes yep seems to be doing its own thing.

One other thing: does yep manage everything by default or manage nothing until you tell it to do so?

Please enlighten me ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=11589#Comment_11589 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=11589#Comment_11589 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:29:18 -0700 BLUEFROG
Interesting idea. I can see how it would be useful but the mechanism to thread the emails may not be easily accessible. Hmmm…

Don't forget that Bookmarks with a location attached will move files (or optionally copy them when holding Option) when you drop files on them.

Also, you can use the "Move to Folder…" (and "Copy to Folder…" with Option held) form the context menu.

Also, also, you can use the Move menu in the upper lefthand corner some of the most recent moved locations.

Cheers!

Have you ever selected any of the PDFs in Yep and pressed Delete (or selected "Remove from Yep")? If so, these files are marked as Managed = 0 and will not be automatically picked up by Yep (This is by design. Otherwise Yep would continually try to reAdd files you've removed.)

However, new files in that folder seem to get marked as managed? Is that the behaviour Yep is supposed to work? ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=11585#Comment_11585 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=11585#Comment_11585 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 01:45:13 -0700 sgrimee
While searching for emails, I came across this small improvement opportunity. Maybe not straightforward to implement, but incredibly useful...
It would be fantastic to have a threaded view when searching for emails. Or say "group by thread". This would avoid many emails from the same thread to show up as result and make the search for that particular email so much quicker.

thanks for this great software! ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=103&Focus=11584#Comment_11584 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=103&Focus=11584#Comment_11584 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:14:12 -0700 eN0ch http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=103&Focus=11583#Comment_11583 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=103&Focus=11583#Comment_11583 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:47:01 -0700 drJ
And actually, I could even imagine attaching a useful meaning to "drag a file or files from one window to another", perhaps "add the tags associated with the destination window to the target file" ... although I confess I haven't thought this through. Regardless, multiple windows are something I wanted to have almost from the moment I opened Leap (and Yep too, frankly). I just don't want to throw away one "search" or "smart folder" or whatever you want to call it just because I want to initiate a new search. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1724&Focus=11582#Comment_11582 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1724&Focus=11582#Comment_11582 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:45:04 -0700 drJ
Why not have the complete current existing list of tags available to be skimmed or scanned by the user? It certainly enhances one's feeling of control (which is on the other hand reduced when one can't recall a potentially relevant tag and has no one-step non-kludgy method for finding it).

This function, it seems to me, is especially useful when one has an exceptionally large number of files and/or tags, as in when the files are associated with various academic purposes, but even at that I think I'm underestimating the usefulness of this "all tags" list.

Yes. The reason it is the Filed Documents folder is that it is open to other apps as well as Yep so it made more sense to get away from naming it "Yep" documents.

Cheers!

I did not know about the keyboard shortcut or the fact that Fresh wouldn't change the extension if I typed in a new name.

I can live with that solution. ]]> http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1614&Focus=11577#Comment_11577 http://ironicsoftware.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1614&Focus=11577#Comment_11577 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:22:05 -0700 tom.andersen
Fresh has no code that excludes any files in the Documents folder.

We do exclude files from folders such as cache folders, and the actual ~/Library/Mail folder. (although ~/Library/Mail Downloads is included by default).

So I'm not sure what is happening...?

Perhaps your Documents/Mail Downloads folder is really a symlink to a folder that is hidden, etc?
