Product Description:

Every computer has loads of PDF, Office and iWork files, probably scattered all over your hard disk. Use Yep to search, view, and manage all these documents wherever they lie on your hard drive. Think of Yep as iPhoto for your documents. Yep does not move or change your files in any way. Yep 2 has new a new faster scanning system that is up to twice as fast as Apple's built in scanning in 10.6. As you go through your busy day drag images, text snippets, ideas, notes, and PDFs into it to keep a running log of your activity. Yep 2 does not store your data in a proprietary database, instead it uses the power of unix, Spotlight and tagging to allow you to keep your files where they need to be, while still allowing you to search and organize as you see fit..

What's new in this version:

  • Setting file names to all spaces is no longer allowed.
  • Added 'Untagged' menu item.
  • Fixed a problem with tags and descriptions sometimes not setting - or reverting.
  • Live button moved for less jumping around.
  • Added Put in Filed Documents (control - F) command.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

Yep ReviewSTEP BACKWARDS! - Version: 2.0.7, 12/11/2009 10:10PM PST

So far, Yep Version 2.xx seems a step backwards and a great big disappointment. It is now monumentally less easy to get tags into Yep! The functionality to automatically have tags or keywords from Preview Inspector inserted into Yep has been removed.

I use Yep far less and am looking for something else. YES, there were some new features added, such as the ability to include formats other than PDF, but Yep tagging is now a mess - having to insert an underline ("_") between each word of a multi-word tag.

Without the Preview Inspector automation of tags to Yep, tagging in Yep 2.xx takes too much effort!

I agree with a reviewer below that Yep's colours are dreadful.

It appears this vendor has upgraded a viable application into a hellish mess!

Yep CommentaryAny comparative reviews? - Version: 2.0.7, 12/10/2009 07:13PM PST

I've been using SpeedSearch for this job for a very long time. Unattractive user interface but otherwise not bad. Has anyone compared it with Yep?

I only ask because I think the price of Yep is rather steep unless it's extraordinary and not just a one-trick pony.

Yep CommentarySee no reason for upgrading to V2 - Version: 2.0.4, 11/11/2009 02:34AM PST

I have downloaded the beta version of V2 and upgraded to 2.0.4 (demo version) and actually I don't see any reason for upgrading to V2. In my opinion adding support for other document types such as .doc or iwork files is no plus for the new version. The library gets very crowded and Apple's spotlight does a good enough job for searching documents. When I set the preferences to only manage .pdfs the other document types still show in the main window. I want to use this in connection with my ScanSnap scanner only for pdfs!!!

The change of the tagging system from V1 to V2 is not working very well for me. I upgraded the database as described in the manual. Still there are documents which were tagged in V1 and are not correctly tagged in V2.



So I think ironicsoftware still needs to work hard on this update.
