No, this isn't the holy grail of a heterogeneous, iPhone-capable
Yojimbo, but it is a simple way of automating the export of flagged
Yojimbo items into a Dropbox folder so they can be used anywhere
supported by Dropbox (including Windows, Linux, and the iPhone). This
isn't syncing, it is just selective export. But, it seems to meet my
need for some limited Yojimbo multi-platform capability.

This is my very first Applescript, so suggestions and improvements are
welcome. -- Brad

This AppleScript moves flagged Yojimbo items into a Dropbox folder so
they can be synced to any platform (including the iPhone and web
browser clients) supported by Dropbox. If the item already exists in
the folder, it is not overwritten. If the item is subsequently
unflagged in Yojimbo, it is not removed from the Dropbox folder.
Encrypted items are not exported, even if they are flagged. Items in
the Trash are not exported either. Changes to the Dropbox folder
items are not imported into Yojimbo.

NOTE: The user must first create a directory called Yojimbo in their ~/
Dropbox folder before running this script!

do shell script "mkdir ~/YojimboTemp"

tell application "Yojimbo"
set ycollection to collections whose name is "Library"
set ydatabase to every database item in (item 1 of ycollection) whose
(flagged is "true" and encrypted is "false")
set myPath to (path to home folder) as string
export ydatabase to myPath & "YojimboTemp"
end tell

do shell script "mv -n ~/YojimboTemp/* ~/Dropbox/Yojimbo/"
do shell script "rm -rf ~/YojimboTemp"
