I reinstalled Yojimbo after doing a clean in Lion. Several years worth
of clippings gone.
I had copied the ~/Application Support/Yojimbo folder into my new
system as per the instructions on the Barebones website, but nothing
happens. I'm hoping I can recover the library from a Time Machine
backup but don't know where to look. Any suggestions to try and
resolve this?

The folder is ~/Library/Application Support/Yojimbo - ~/Application Support/Yojimbo likely won't exist....

My mistake... I did move the old Yojimbo folder from ~/Library/
Application Support/Yojimbo to the same directory on Lion but my
library did not appear. Any other ideas?

Also, note that Lion hides the ~/Library folder by default in Lion.
There are myriad ways to access it though. Here's an article with 18:

Just discovered this myself as I worked on a solution this afternoon.
I got the library back once I unhid the ~/Library folder and put the
backup folder in the ~/Library/Application Support.
Thanks for the tip!
