2.0.4 is improved - Version: 2.0.4, 11/9/2009 10:54AM PST

I'm pleased to see that Version 2.0.4 adds back the ability to edit the document creation date, which is a key piece of some workflows. This is clear evidence that the developers are paying attention to critical feedback from their customers.

I haven’t updated Yep in a while so upon doing so I was a little surprised to see that it now bears these unMac-like, puke-brown background bands behind both the search critera area above and the view control strip below the interface, something for which I can’t seem to find preferences for changing. When did this happen, why and most importantly how can I change (neutralize) it!?
As much as my inner-pragmatic-nag wants to let it go as no big deal, one of the great reasons for using a Mac is the exceptional, consistent experience across applications. This is one of many reasons why products from companies like Adobe have become so atrocious on the Mac. And while a cruddy user experience is hardly a surprise when it comes to cross-platform software, it’s curious why some Mac-specific developers try and push their own personal aesthetics into the mix, especially without the option to undo such customizations. Another example would be the 1.x version of Tags which exhibited a hideous novelty aesthetic that has thankfully been removed from the version 2 beta.
Obviously time will tick on, but again, this is one of many reasons why a lot of us refuse to pollute our daily experience with Windows PCs. But for what it’s worth, this was my two cents.

I've used Yep 1.8 and its predecessors for quite a while. However, I'm not yet using Yep 2.0.
While Yep 2.0 is an upgrade in many respects, its GUI lacks a way to set the a date for "original document created." It's rather mystifying that this function, which had a prominent location in the user interface of Yep 1.x, is gone from Yep 2.0.
Instead of treating the document creation date as a piece of editable metadata, Yep 2.0 has decided to use the Mac OS file creation date. This makes Yep 2.0 much less useful than its previous versions to manage documents that have associated dates (and there are many such documents, for example: collections of academic papers, legal documents, bills, bank statements, correspondence…).
Although I would recommend Yep 1.8, I would not recommend Yep 2.0 for this reason. The new interface looks gorgeous and polished—but the fundamental function is simply not yet all there.
