Important Notices

  • Yojimbo 4.6 requires macOS 10.13.6 or later. It will not run on any older version of macOS.

Additions

  • Yojimbo runs natively on Apple Silicon.

Changes

  • The "Downloads" window makes a triumphant return to the Window menu.

Fixes

  • If Yojimbo can't find an existing data folder, and your home directory is unwriteable so that Yojimbo can't create a new data folder, the application will now alert you and quit, rather than continuing to start up and behaving strangely.

  • Hide the "Change Preferences" button in the software update window if the application doesn't actually provide software update preferences.

  • Fixed cosmetic issue when drawing text in the item list when a label is applied and the OS is in Dark Mode.

  • PDF archives of web pages are now always created asynchronously, so as not to stall the UI. This change also fixes a bug in which the application would hang when asked to archive a web page by an external source such as an AppleScript or bookmarklet.

  • When creating a PDF from a web address, if the downloaded data is "raw" PDF data, Yojimbo will create a PDF archive directly from the downloaded data, rather than trying to snapshot it as though it were a web page.

  • Restored bookmarklet installation to working order, mainly by making the "Bookmarklets" command on the Help menu open a page on our web site which provides appropriate information and instructions.

  • Changed a default behavior so that Yojimbo no longer attempts to force a light appearance based on the note's text or background colors when displaying or editing notes in Dark Mode.

  • Corrected the appearance of the Preferences window toolbar when running on macOS 11.0.
