Import files into Yojimbo

Hello -
I currently have a Hazel rule which periodically cleans my desktop, sorting files past a certain date into folders (named by file format) in Documents.

What I would like to do is have this rule import PDFs and Text files (.sh, .txt, etc) into Yojimbo and then set a Tag on them based on their file extension.

This sounds like a job for Applescript. Any ideas?

Yes, looks like AppleScript is the way, especially if you are using the tagging system within Yojimbo. The specifics of that are beyond my purview but you can try pinging people in the BareBones forums. For the Hazel end of it, just make sure to read the help on AppleScripts.

They still make Yojimbo? I remember using that years ago, but what with Evernote being free and available remotely, I am surprised anyone still uses Yojimbo.

Yes, they still make Yojimbo, and I still use it. Evernote, no thanks.

I solved this with AppleScript and Hazel. See the details and script here.
