I’ve just posted a simple app called Yojimbo Tag Cleanup that displays a list of your Yojimbo tags that aren’t assigned to any of your Yojimbo database items. It then lets you delete these “abandoned” tags.
I used to do this periodically by hand using an AppleScript to get a list of all the tags, and then searching for each tag by hand, and then deleting the abandoned tags by hand in the Yojimbo preferences window.
If you have a large Yojimbo library or use a lot of tags it may take a few seconds to open while it figures out which tags aren’t being used.

I’ve posted version 1.0.1 of Hamilton, you can download a copy here: Hamilton 1.0.1.
Here’s a summary of the changes in 1.0.1:
- CSV import of dates has been switched to a MM/YYYY format until a workaround for the [NSDate dateWithNaturalLanguageString] method has been found. David was running into problems with dates of the format MM/YY such as 04/00 being converted to April 2008 instead of April 2000. Anyone know of a better date formatting method or approach? Please let me know: stevenhuey@stevenhuey.com
- After importing bonds from a CSV file the selection and value summaries in the status bar at the bottom of the application window were not being updated correctly.
- If you have problems importing a CSV files try changing the text encoding of the file to UTF-8. You can do this using TextEdit by choosing “Make Plain Text” from the “Format” menu, and then choosing “Save” from the “File” menu. In the Save dialog make sure the Plain Text Encoding is set to Unicode (UTF-8)
A huge thanks to David Maglott for finding these bugs and for all his help getting them resolved!

I’m proud to release Hamilton 1.0 this evening - the first version of my US Savings Bond management application for Mac OS X. Download your copy today from hamiltonapp.com.
I’ve got a lot more planned for Hamilton, but wanted to get a version out the door to start getting some feedback and your ideas for future versions too. As things develop I’ll be posting tips for working with Hamilton, and will be posting some sneak previews of new features and updates to the UI so stay tuned.
Download your copy and let me know what you think!

After a few months of work and countless hours spent in Xcode and Interface Builder I’m happy to finally take the wraps off this site and should have some more announcements in the next few days regarding my first Mac OS X product.
I’ll be blogging about Cocoa, Mac OS X, my products, and whatever else catches my interest - but for now it’s back to work!
