Ever since starting to use Yojimbo, I've wanted to use it to manage
stuff other than the data types that it supports natively. Now that
Yojimbo supports file URLs, that's possible, albeit in a very hacky
way. I whipped up a quick and dirty applescript that moves any finder
item to a Yojimbo archive folder, then adds a URL for that file to
Yojimbo. I've enclosed the script below.

Some caveats:

- This is a quick and dirty script, with no error checking. If you
try to place an item with a duplicate name, it will break.

- You need to specify the HFS path to the folder in which you want to
store items at the top of the script in the myArchiveFolder variable.

- I'd like to figure out a way to do this using aliases instead of
fixed file paths, so that if you move an item in the finder, Yojimbo
can still find it. Any suggestions appreciated.

Enjoy!

set myArchiveFolder to "Kenneth_MBP:Users:kkirksey:Documents:Yojimbo:"
set theFileInfo to {}

tell application "Finder"
set _selectedFiles to selection as list
repeat with theFile in _selectedFiles
set newFile to move theFile to myArchiveFolder
copy {name of newFile, URL of newFile} to end of theFileInfo

end repeat
tell application "Yojimbo"
repeat with theItem in theFileInfo
make new bookmark item with properties {name:item 1 of theItem,
location:item 2 of theItem}
end repeat
end tell

end tell
