Say I'm working on a project. Wouldn't it be great if I could have all the written material (word docs and otherwise), media (sound, images, movies), emails, pdfs, and other odds and ends pertaining to the project all in one place, and all at my fingertips?

It sure would. And, Yojimbo isn't the app to do it. Although it's sales copy certainly makes it seem that way.

In fact, Yojimbo doesn't do a whole lot, it's very limited in the material you can use, and pretty inflexible on what you can do with those materials. Bookmarking web pages is nice, but I can do that in a browser. Never really had a problem with that. Saving serial numbers is nice, but do I really need a $40 app to do so? All this time I've just used a folder named "serial numbers" for free.

And sure, I can save copied text by merely hitting F8, but personally, I never found the task of moving a mouse to the dock and opening TextEdit to be all that strenuous of an activity...

If Barebones want to turn Yojimbo into what I described in my opening paragraph (which is what their copy tries to give the impression of),k I'd pay $40 with a smile. Because when dealing with projects with lots of different components I get more than a little disorganized ("Where did I file those images again? What am I supposed to do with this? Where's his email? Where's the revised copy? What happened to the original press release?" etc)

But as it stands, I just copied this into Yojimbo by merely hitting F8, and named it "Bad Review"
