Despite using it faithfully for a number of years I've recently lost
faith with Yojimbo as it doesn't fully meet my needs and, although it's
being actively developed, I suspect it never will. I find these
so-called 'everything buckets' that archive files that may be needed in
the future and take them away from the daily operating system
environment to be quite valuable.

I use DEVONthink to organise material for research purposes, where it
excels, but I don't think simple archiving of files is where it shines.
The features I'm looking for are:

1. The ability to easily archive files, primarily PDFs and images, into
a 'database' that hides them from spotlight and the OS. That excludes
Eaglefiler.

2. The ability to easily extract file from that archive in their
original form. From all I've heard this means Evernote isn't an option.

3. Multiple databases for different areas. This excludes the present
version of Yojimbo.

4. The ability to search within files and to tag/keyword them.

5. Actively developed - not necessarily new features, just support for
the evolving OS.

Any thoughts?

Steve
