Dropbox is a file hosting service that offers several features for sharing and collaborating on files including quickly sharing screenshots, adding comments to files, viewing files without additional software, editing Office files online for free, using selective sync to save space on devices, favoriting files to access them offline on mobile, and accessing previous versions of files. Dropbox was founded in 2007 by Drew Houston after he repeatedly forgot flash drives as a student at MIT. It launched in 2008 and acquired its current domain name in 2009, initially facing competition but becoming successful due to the difficulty of implementing its cloud collaboration capabilities.
Evernote is a note-taking and organization tool that allows users to capture, organize, and find information across multiple devices. It has both free and paid versions, with the paid versions providing additional features like searching within documents and unlimited device syncing. Genealogists can use Evernote to create research plans, logs, and store genealogical records and documents. Key aspects of using Evernote for genealogy include organizing notes using notebooks and tags, searching notes, and creating templates to standardize record notes.

This document analyzes the economic impacts of rent control in San Francisco. It discusses how the 1979 Rent Ordinance was intended to address a housing crisis and ensure affordable rents while allowing fair profits for landlords. However, rent control has unintended negative effects like reduced maintenance and housing supply. It also benefits long-term renters over new residents and can decrease socioeconomic diversity. The policy still exists because renters, who make up the voter majority, support protections from large rent increases.
Tidy Up! is a utility that finds and helps manage duplicate files on a computer. It provides a 3-step process: 1) Search for duplicates, 2) Choose which duplicates to process, 3) Process the chosen duplicates by moving, copying, trashing, or exporting them. The document cautions that some duplicate files may be required by applications and removing them could cause issues. It recommends searching locations carefully and making backups before deleting any files.
This document summarizes a paper examining the economic impacts of San Francisco's rent control ordinance. It discusses the rationale for rent control being to promote equity and prevent low-income residents from being priced out of the city. However, it also notes potential negative impacts, such as reduced housing supply as landlords have less incentive to maintain properties or allow turnover. While rent control aims to promote diversity, it may paradoxically decrease diversity by restricting supply and encouraging illegal sublets. The effects of rent control are complex with arguments on both sides.
Tidy Up! is a utility that helps users find and manage duplicate files on their computer. It works in three steps: 1) searching for duplicate items based on user-selected criteria, 2) sorting duplicate items into baskets to identify which should be processed, and 3) processing the selected duplicate items by moving, copying, trashing, or other actions. The manual provides detailed instructions on using each step and function of Tidy Up!, including how to perform common search scenarios, create and use smart baskets, and manage the duplicate items found. It also includes appendix sections defining common file types and buttons/menus within the application.

File Organization
Organization is one of my personal strengths and this has translated to digital filing as much as anything else. As most of the digital files that I manage are in my work environment, I want to focus this post on my work files. In the past, I have replaced several managers who did not organize files well and over the years, I have seen three dominant ways of filing: everything visible, single folder levels, and multiple folder levels.
First, and least effective, is no filing at all. I once met with a coworker to go over some documents and she had her entire dual-monitor desktop covered with documents. Her philosophy was that as long as she could see the document she could find it. However, in our meeting, with approximately 200 documents in her face, she had a lot of difficulty finding anything.
Second, and only slightly better, is to categorize major types of information. Being in the security business, this has been the most common method I have seen in my peers. This is done by simply putting like items in the same folder. For example, incident reports go in an “Incident Report” folder and facility logs go in a “Facility Log” folder. This works okay, but can still be cumbersome when you have more complex items.
The method I utilize is to incorporate folders, and sub folders to as many levels as are necessary to have only a small number of files in the last folder. This means that for my schedules, for example, I have a folder labeled “Schedules”, then a folder for each year “2014”, then a folder for each month “March”, and then the schedule documents so that there are only 4-5 documents in the final level of organization. This saves time in not hav.

SLR helps clients coordinate legal strategy and representation in multiple jurisdictions to efficiently address their issues.
The document analyzes the potential economic impacts of two proposed ordinances related to residential rent control in San Francisco. The first ordinance would allow tenants to appeal rent increases if the total rent exceeded 33% of their income. This could significantly impact landlords' rental income and incentivize them to raise rents on vacant units. The second ordinance would prevent landlords from increasing rent or evicting tenants due to additional occupants. This could benefit tenants by reducing housing costs but also impose costs on landlords. The report estimates various impacts on tenants, landlords, housing prices and the broader city economy under each proposed ordinance.
This document summarizes a report by the California Reinvestment Coalition about the financial divide between lower-income communities and wealthier neighborhoods in California. It finds that lower-income neighborhoods have many check cashers and payday lenders charging high fees, while having few bank branches, due to banks removing branches from these communities. It also finds that mainstream banks provide significant financing to check cashers and payday lenders, profiting from these high-cost lenders while not providing affordable services to these communities themselves. Overall, it estimates that high fees from check cashers and payday lenders cost California residents over $5 billion per year.
The document provides information on how consumers can obtain free credit reports and specialty reports from credit bureaus and other agencies. It explains that consumers are entitled by law to one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

4. Preface: Welcome to Yep
Yep helps you see, create, organize and find your documents. Think of documents as
the files that you care about.
To get started with Yep, simply launch it. Yep will automatically start tracking all the PDF,
Office and iWork documents in your Documents, Desktop and Downloads folder on your
computer. You donʼt have to move the documents you want to manage anywhere - Yep
can manage documents in any location on your computer.
See documents
Yep shows your documents in a view not unlike iPhoto - this allows you to pick out
documents using visual cues like the layout or
color, etc. Yep also has a list view. You change
view modes with the three buttons in the toolbar.
You can sort the items by many criteria
including name, modification date, etc. The
middle button ʻgrouped viewʼ shows items
organized into groups based on the sorting you
choose.
Create documents
Yep has a great scanner interface that
allows you to make multipage PDFs from
your paper documents in as few clicks as
possible. Want to create a quick note with
some selected text from a web page?
Just drag it into Yep - a file containing
any dragged text and images is
automatically created, named and filed, all without typing anything in one step. Yep can
create image files from dragged in images, and you can copy important emails from
Appleʼs Mail program into Yep with a simple drag.
Organize documents
When you file a paper document into a filing cabinet, there is always the question of
ʻwhere do I file itʼ? Many documents have more than one good place to be filed to -
should that waterproof tent idea I wrote a note on be filed under ʻideasʼ? or under Sept
2009? or under ʻcampingʼ?. The advent of computers has been a great boon to finding
5. ʻstuffʼ - but unfortunately the ʻfiling cabinetʼ paradigm
still exists on our computers. Yep breaks through
that with the use of tags - when you tag a document,
the actual location of it becomes less important.
Searches in Yep or in the Finder for the term
ʻcampingʼ will show this document. Plus Yep shows
a ʻtag cloudʼ which allows you to quickly pick out
groups of related documents.
Yep includes an filing cabinet that automatically files
documents you create in a simple date based
hierarchy.
Yep stores no database, and all items in Yep are
simply real files residing on your computer, available
and searchable with the Finder. One goal of Yep was to not impose restrictions on
moving or editing files - Yep tracks them wherever they lay.
Filed Documents
The Filed Documents folder is a ʻcatch allʼ folder that Yep creates in your Documents
folder. It is organized by Year/Month/day and stores documents that have been auto
filed.
The modern workday for many of us is an avalanche of information - emails,
documents, web pages and more fly through our lives. Much of the information that we
would perhaps like to save does not get saved, usually due to fact that the act of saving
a document, then deciding a name and filing location for it, dragging the file to that
location, etc - is just too much of a disruption to our work flow. So it does not get done.
Thatʼs where Filed Documents comes in. You can, with one or two clicks and no typing
archive a web page into Yepʼs Filed Documents folder. Or drag a file into Yep from your
desktop, to file it into todayʼs Filed Documents folder. This strategy allows you to keep a
time oriented archive of your activity, with tagging and allowing like documents to be
grouped together. Drag a text snippet from a web page into Yep to create an
automatically named text file filed under today.
Find and Search
Yep allows rapid point and click searching, content searching and more. You can create
bookmarks for often performed searches. You can organize
bookmarks. Dragging files to bookmarks will move and or add tags to
the documents. The search window is at the near the top of the main
window, in the ʻcrumb trailʼ bar. The crumb trail bar shows you at a
glance exactly what documents you are currently viewing. The search
window can be used to perform ʻallʼ or contents searching, or it can be limited to a
filename search.
6. Chapter 1: Initial setup
If you are new to Yep, on startup you will see all the the PDF, Office and
iWork documents, along with any OpenMeta tagged documents in the
main Yep window.
By default, Yep will automatically ‘mark as managed’ any files it finds in
your Documents, Downloads, and Desktop folders that are PDF, Office, or
iWork files. You can also drag files of any type into Yep in order to have
Yep track and manage them.
You can change these settings in the preferences:
Once imported into Yep a document stays in Yep until you explicitly
remove it. The preferences shown here control how Yep adds documents
to the collection you are managing. For example, turning everything ‘off’
in these preferences will not remove any documents from Yep. Remember
that Yep can work with files of any type - you only need to drag them
into Yep in order to add them.
Upgrading from Yep 1:
The initial import of Yep version 1 data into Yep 2 will not alter any data
or settings for Yep 1.
7. Yep 2 stores auto filed documents in a folder hierarchy called ‘Filed
Documents’. This is similar to the ‘Yep Documents’ folders of Yep 1, but
there are some differences: Notably, Filed Documents uses a numerical
date based folder hierarchy that goes down to the day, where ‘Yep
Documents’ only filed PDFs month by month. We could not figure out a
reliable way to automatically move your ‘Yep Documents’ folder into the
Filed Documents folder, so we chose to leave it alone. Of course any PDF
located in the Yep Documents folder will be seen by Yep 2. One way to
deal with this is to move the PDFs from your Yep Documents using the
Finder, in any way you see fit. If you want to leave the documents alone,
that is not a problem - Yep can manage documents in any location.
Tags and importing from Yep 1:
Document tags set in Yep 1 will be added to any OpenMeta tags already
on the files. Again, your Yep 1 files are treated as read - only. Authors
are converted into tags of the form ‘author:James’, etc. This change
allows multiple authors to be set on a document in Yep 2, and also allows
easy clicks in the Tag cloud to select all the documents by a given author.
Yep 1 stored information about all the tagged documents on a per
volume basis - that means that the tags database that Yep 1 used is
stored in a file on each volume that PDFs were being tracked on. On the
intitial startup of Yep 2, all currently mounted volumes are scanned for
Yep 1 database files, and the upgrade is performed. If you at any time
wish to re - import data from an old Yep 1 database file, you can use the
‘Restore Metadata…” command from the File menu, and then pick an
appropriate ‘docInfo.plist.gz” file from a Yep 1 Application Support
folder.
8. Chapter 2: See documents
This chapter details all the ways in which you can view, open and get information about
documents.
Documents View
The main document view in Yep shows the results of the
current search. Documents are sorted with the sort menu,
and can be viewed in three ways:
• as thumbnails - with tags and ratings shown below each item. You can set ratings on
your documents by simply dragging some stars under a document.
• as grouped thumbnails - documents are grouped according to the sort method. For
instance when sorted by file size, files are added to a handful of groups
• as a list view - columns can be turned on and off in the column header. Note that the
columns that you have turned on here also affects the columns in both the printing and
exporting of search results.
9. Info Windows
Yep has a button in the toolbar that turns on and off an info area on the right side
of the main window. With this on, each item you select will display some information
about itself. If you select multiple items in Yep, you are able to add tags to all of them at
once using this info panel.
You can also bring up a floating info window that does NOT change documents when
clicked on by using the right - click contextual pop up menu.
The ʻCopy to Clipboardʼ item in the info window will copy much more information than is
shown - use this to dig into the details of a file.
Loupe - Magnifying glass
In Yep this is referred to as the Loupe, it is a tool that you can use to examine
details of files. In Yepʼs preferences you can find some options that control its use. By
default, you can bring up the loupe by holding down the option key. When Yep is
showing list view, the loupe shows the entire document, which can be nicer than
bringing up Quick Look for each file you might be interested in.
10. QuickLook
By selecting one or more items in Yep, then pressing the space bar, you can bring up
the Quick Look window for the selected document. This is the standard Quick Look
window, having full screen mode, and more. In OS X version 10.6 and later the
QuickLook window performs better and more smoothly.
Right-click menu
When you right click on a document, Yep shows you a
menu of things you might like to do:
Open With: pick an application to open the file.
Add Tag: add a recently used tag
Add Tags From Bookmark: If any of your bookmarks
have multiple tags, you can use this to add them all at
once.
Show Time Machine Revisions: Yep will look through
your time machine backups for all revisions of the selected
document. This is useful to look for an older version of a
document you have been editing. If you use a Time
Capsule, you will need to mount the sparse bundle first.
Remove from Yep: Simply marks the file as ʻnot
managedʼ and does not remove or even move the file.
Where Froms: Items downloaded from the internet using
Safari will often have a ʻWhere Fromʼ set on them that is a URL of the items origin. You
can open any URLs with this menu.
11. Opening
To open a document in Yep, double click it. This will launch the default application to
open the file. If you would like to set a different application to open a certain file type,
then use the ʻOpen With >” item from the right click menu once. Yep remembers this
and uses your chosen application the next time you double click.
You can also of course drag a document to the dock in order to open an item with the
selected application.
Printing
There are two things to print in Yep. Perhaps the most common thing to print is a
document or group of documents.
Printing a document
You can quickly print a document by selecting it and using the ʻCommand - Pʼ key
sequence, or by using the File menu | Print Selected. This prints the document by
launching the default application for the document, and then printing right away, without
any print dialog. To get more control, open the document by double clicking it, then print
from whatever application you are using.
Printing search results
Sometimes you may desire a print out of a listing of Yepʼs current search results. Yep
does this using an html table - Yep prints a list of the documents in the current search,
with columns given by those that are currently active in list mode.
12. Chapter 3: Create documents
This chapter details all the ways in which you can scan and create documents .
Scanning
Getting to a paperless or even a ʻless paperlessʼ office in todayʼs world involves
scanning. There are two main ways to scan documents into Yep - using your scanners
software to create files, or using Yepʼs scanning interface to create PDFs.
Scanning using Yep
Yep has a scanning system tuned for document management. When using a scanner
with Yep, settings are such that the resulting scanned document is of a high quality and
reasonable file size. To use Yep to scan with your scanner, make sure all scanner
software has been installed, and your scanner turned on, etc, then press the
Scan New Document button. Yep brings up its scanner interface. If
you have more than one scanner, or a scanner with more than one input option, use the
menu to pick which scanner you would like to use, then (only on OS X 10.6 or later) pick
the paper size you are using. For flatbed scanners, picking ʻAllʼ will scan the entire
flatbed.
With the paper in the scanner press the ʻScan Pageʼ button.
Two notes for OS 10.6 or later: Note that with a sheet fed scanner, you only have to
press the ʻScan Pageʼ button
once, all the pages in the
hopper will be scanned.
Duplex scanning is
supported if the scanner
has that feature.
As soon as the scanner
begins to scan, you can
start tagging, naming, and
adding notes about your
scan - saving you valuable
time.
You can use the crop,
straighten and contrast
buttons to improve the look
of any page of your scans.
If you are working on a large scanning job and you are called away from your computer,
forgetting to complete the scan, perhaps even quitting Yep, the next time you start to
scan any scans not made into a PDF will still be in the Scanning window, ready to
13. continue. You can erase all pages of a current scan by clicking the ʻCancelʼ button at the
bottom of the window.
Scanning using external scanning software
If you would like to scan using software other than Yep, it is still quite easy for you to
integrate your scans into Yep. A few possible workflows:
• set up your scanning software to create PDFs (or jpegs, etc) and dump them into the
root of the Filed Documents folder. When you switch over to Yep, Yep will
automatically file the documents into todays folder and mark the files as managed,
leaving you to add any desired tags, etc.
• after creating a document with your scanner software, drag the resulting document
into Yep to have Yep keep track of it.
• use Preview to scan photos into jpeg or tiff images. Yepʼs built in scanning creates 300
dpi multipage PDF documents.
Dragging in text and images
If you drag text from a web page into the Finder, a kind of document called a ʻtext
clippingʼ is created. While these documents have their uses, they have limitations.
When you drag text into Yep (or into Yepʼs dropzone), a more standard rtf or rtfd file is
created with the contents of your drag, auto named, and put into todayʼs Filed
Documents. If you drag an image in, the image is saved to todayʼs documents with the
correct file name.
Dragging in urls (web links)
Dragging a link to a web page, etc into Yep will result in a webloc file being created in
todayʼs folder. You can use this to create a daily trail of interesting sites visited.
Dragging in emails
When dragging an email from Appleʼs Mail.app into Yep, Yep makes a copy of the email
in todayʼs files, and names the file to reflect the subject of the email. The thought here is
that important emails can be added to your collection of files. I find that although I ʻkeepʼ
all email it seems that emails older than a few years are simply not available, due to
email account changes, etc. Keeping an archive of important emails can be useful.
Attachments are stored with the email.
Dragging in files
When you drag in files to Yep, if the files are not managed, Yep offers to manage the
files, or move the files to todayʼs folder, (which also marks the files as managed). If you
drag a file that is already managed into Yep, Yep simply selects the file. If you drag in a
file from a read only volume like a CD-ROM, etc, then Yep will have to copy the file to
todayʼs documents in order to make it managed.
14. Chapter 4: Organize
This chapter details how you can use Yep to tag and file your documents.
Adding Tags
Tags window
If you select a document and press the ʻenterʼ key a
tag entry window appears, allowing you to enter tags
for the document. Tags are short descriptive words
about documents. By spending a few seconds
tagging a document, you enable easier retrieval at a
later date. There is a list of recent tags you can
access with a button at the bottom of the tagging
area. The recent tags list begins with the tags that
are entered into the preferences, ʻGeneralʼ tab.
You can also set a 1 - 5 star rating with this window.
Two word tags
When typing tags in Yep, pressing the spacebar takes you on to the next tag. You type
two word tags in one of two ways: You can put them in quotes, ie “two words” or you
can type %20 instead of a space. Eg: two%20words will become a two word tag ʻtwo
wordsʼ.
Other ways to add tags
You can drag a document up to the bookmarks bar: If a bookmark has
tags set you can add them by dropping the file onto the bookmark.
Note that if the bookmark has a location the document will also be
moved to that location. When you drag to a bookmark, Yep tells you
what it will do.
You can drag a document to the right side of the bookmarks bar,
where there are some bookmarks in a menu
called ʻTagʼ. This is a list of all the recent
tagging operations that you have done, so you can save time
by dragging to this menu, and then picking the group of tags
that you would like to add. This can be a real time saver for
repetitive tasks. You drag to the top of the menu then pick the
tags you want to add.
15. Adding tags to multiple documents
You can select more than one document in Yep, then press the
enter key to add tags to multiple documents at once.
When multiple files are selected, only tags common to all
documents are edited. So this is primarily for adding tags.
Removing all tags from multiple
documents
If you select multiple documents, and want to remove all the tags on
them, then use the info window, and then press the ʻRemove Unique
Tags” button. Yep will confirm your decision, then remove all the
various tags from all the selected documents.
Deleting a tag
If there is a certain tag that you want to remove
from any document it might be in, then in the
ʻtag cloudʼ panel, right click on the tag and pick
ʻDelete…ʼ from the menu. Yep will confirm your
actions, then delete the tag from all documents
it can find that have that tag. Note that the tag
may exist on files on other currently unmounted
volumes. When deleting a tag from a lot of documents (like 100 or more), Yep will finish
the job in a reasonable time, but it may take a while for the Spotlight database to catch
up, during which time searches for the tag may give false positive results.
Filing
The standard OS X save as dialog is slow, and often interferes with the flow of your
work. With Yep you can file things quickly and efficiently. Here are some tips:
Drag to a bookmark to file a document to that location. Not all bookmarks have suitable
locations, only bookmarks with locations will light up when you drag over them. Use the
option key to copy the file to the destination location.
Drag to the ʻFileʼ bookmark menu to access recently used destination folders.
Use the contextual pop - up menu to file a document to an arbitrary location. This will
bring up the ʻslowʼ folder picker - but remember the ʻFileʼ bookmark will then have that
location in it.
Organize your files without using Yep, but rather using the Finder, Path Finder, etc. Yep
can manage files in any location. Move them around using any way possible.
Move a file to todayʼs Filed Documents folder by using the button in the info window, or
the right click menu.
16. In the Finder, drag the Filed Documents folder to the documents section of the dock:
then simply drag any file you want filed to today into there, whether Yep is running or
not.
If Yep is running, but you are in another application, like Preview, TexEdit, etc, you can
drag the little icon at the top of the document into Yepʼs dropzone.
eg: drag the little icon as shown here:
over to the drop zone. You can also choose to tag the document if you wish.
The Drop Zone
When Yep is running there is a small window that is turned on by default
(see the preferences for options) that allows you to add documents to Yep
easily. The drop zone has 3 zones - you can ʻFileʼ which puts the
document into todayʼs files, you can ʻTagʼ - which tags the file and marks it
managed, leaving it in place, or you can simply ʻAddʼ the file to Yep,
leaving it in place.
If you find yourself using the drop zone a lot, you can adjust the
preferences so that the window is still there - only its completely hidden.
You can also move the drop zone from left to right by dragging it all the
way over your monitor to the other side.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are saved
searches. Yep has some
built in bookmarks that
canʼt be deleted, plus you
can add your own.
Bookmarks can be
organized into folders
(including the built in
ones).
Organize bookmarks with
the little button at the left
of the bookmark bar:
You create bookmark folders in the Bookmark menu in the main menu. If there are
some built in bookmarks that you donʼt need but are using up room, relocate them to a
folder.
17. Chapter 5: Find
The ʻcrumb trailʼ bar in Yep always shows the current search criteria, and how many
files are in the current search results, etc.
First - an example step by step search:
The default search in Yep is the ʻAllʼ search - upon startup Yep will simply show all
managed files it can find. Looking at the above crumb trail, Yep is looking for managed
files of ʻAnyʼ type in ʻAnywhereʼ with any rating.
If you would like to narrow down your search to for instance
only show PDF files, you can use the file type menu to pick
PDF: In this case I have almost 4000 PDFs that will be
shown.
Next I decide that I only want to see the 2009 PDFs from my
filed documents - down to 147 documents:
Then looking at the tag cloud - I see the tag ʻreceiptʼ - click on that to cut the search to 3
18. That search took about 5 mouse clicks and no typing, finding the document was easy
once I could see it.
Default search
Yep does a default search on startup and whenever you hit the ʻhomeʼ button. You can
set the default search with the File menu - ʻSet Current Search as Defaultʼ menu item.
Tag Cloud
The tag cloud shows all the tags set on documents in the current search results, so the
contents of this window change to show you the most popular tags of the current
search. If you know the name of a tag, even the first letter, typing it into the tag filter can
help you find it.
The ʻAll tagsʼ window shows all the tags for the current search only to really see ALL the
tags, do a search by using the ʻAllʼ bookmark, then press the ʻAll Tags…ʼ button.
Tags vs Keywords
There are two little icons at the bottom of the tags
window. The one on the left controls the display of tags
- the tags that you have set on your documents, while
pressing the keywords button turns on keywords,
displaying keywords found inside documents.
Keywords are what Yep calls tags that have been set
perhaps by the original author of the document. A good example of a file having
keywords is an jpg image downloaded from a stock photo service. Images like this will
often have 20 or more keywords set on them describing the document. Turning on
keywords thus opens up more information about the documents you are looking at, but
the keywords set on a file can not be edited by Yep. Usually you will need to use a
document editor that has this capability. For PDFs, keywords can be edited with
Preview.
We have found the use of keywords to be useful in some situations, and not others.
Some documents have many keywords set on them of dubious value.
19. Chapter 6: Backup and other Details
backing up data and other details like restore, export.
Backing up data
Yep does not backup any of your documents. You need to run Time Machine, or a
similar product to back up all your files. My experience over the past 20 years has been
that hard drives and or computers suffer massive failures every few years (or sooner!). If
you donʼt backup your documents, they wonʼt be around for long. Sort of like the sign I
saw at the dentists once: “You donʼt have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want
to keep”.
Backing up tags and ratings
Yep does make backup files for every item you tag as you tag them. This allows Yep to
restore tags and ratings to files that have had them stripped off, which can happen
when editing files with Adobe CS4 and a smattering of other applications. These backup
files are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenMeta (not the Yep folder, as all
OpenMeta applications use the same system).
Backing up tags and ratings manually
The backup files that Yep makes do form an
effective backup, - but there are ways in which
these files may be incomplete, such as when a
tag is added by another application that doesnʼt
make backup files. Also if you are about to
reformat a hard drive, or other drastic step, then
you may want to backup your tags to a single
file. To do this run Yep, then from the File menu pick “Backup metadata”. A dialog
explaining the process will come up, and later, when the file is made, a dialog similar to
the one shown above will be shown.
Restoring from backup
Yep supports restoring from the above two methods of backup, plus it also supports the
importing of metadata from old Yep 1 or Leap 1 data files. To do any of these
operations, pick “Restore Metadata…” from the File menu, then in order to tell Yep
which kind of backup to do, pick one of:
• a ʻ.omsbackʼ file that you made in an earlier manual backup,
• a docInfo.plist.gz file from an old Yep 1 or Leap 1 install or
• the OpenMeta folder in your Application Support folder.
In all three cases Yep will restore tags and ratings to any file it can find in the backup
file, being careful not to overwrite newer tags with older ones. Yep stores the path and
an alias to the files it makes backups for, and it tries to find the file to restore to using
both these methods. Yep will also finish a restore operation with a dialog informing you
of the results. If Yep has to set tags on documents that you need to authorize with a
password in order to modify, a dialog will be presented for that. This security
20. authorization for Yep to alter files only lasts a few minutes, so there may be a few of
these if there are a lot of files in system areas that you are tracking.
