2.04 Doesn't work for many people - Version: 2.0.4, 11/10/2009 02:30PM PST

If you're using v1.8 stay where you are!
Their website if full of reports (like mine) that report that 2.x does NOT find any PDF's.
That was a waste of an hour and a half....and $19 upgrade.

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.

Great program / Great support - Version: 2.0.0b7, 10/25/2009 07:23AM PST

This program works extremely well scanning and categorizing documents. When adding tags, it gives suggestions based on the document and narrows the search as you type. That really helps to guard against having similar but multiple tags for the same thing. When searching for a document, using the visible tags or searching for a typed string really makes finding that one document easy. Version 2 just builds on what was already a great product making document management not only easy but enjoyable. I'm still learning and discovering the new useful features that have been added. The author is great about answering any questions even though it was me who should have just RTFM.

Have been using Yep! for a while, replacing Paperport for document management (when I moved over to the MAC-side from a PC), specifically *.pdf's that track workflow of customer PO's, vendor acknowledgements, and invoices. Could not be any easier than this. The flexibility in the viewer and integration make it considerably simpler than Paperport (which only works on Windows) and at a FRACTION of the cost. Any questions I've had were answered personally and promptly by the staff.

I had not planned on it but when I tried this application, I was so impressed with its utility and the concept the programmers came up with for working with PDF files that I recognized this as being one of those "must have" applications. I can not think of any other application that works with sorting, finding and maintaining an extensive collection of PDF files as well as Yep does. Kudos to the developers.
Though the price is a little high (maybe), this is done so well that I can not foresee using any other application to do what Yep does.

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.
