Importing Yojimbo DB from 10.6.8 to 10.7.x

[8string (alb)]

Having a problem getting my data properly moved from my old Macbook
Pro to my new Macbook Pro running Lion. I've successfully
export>imported the items, but none of the folder designations came
across. In looking at the database structure, what used to be stored
under ~/library/application support/Yojimbo appears to be gone under
Lion. Or did I miss it?

So the short story is, how to I backup/restore the file folders
created inside Yojimbo 3.0.2 (230) on a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8
into the same version of Yojimbo running on a Mac Book Pro running
10.7.x?

First: Lion hides your local Library folder by default, and the easiest
way to access that folder in the Finder is to hold down the Option key and
then choose Go -> Library.

Next: Both the best & the easiest :-) way to transfer your Yojimbo data
from one machine to another is to quit Yojimbo on the original machine,
then copy the "Yojimbo" data folder:

/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Yojimbo/

from that machine to the same location on your new machine via any standard
means, e.g. an external hard drive or USB thumb drive, or filesharing.

Once you've copied its data folder over (bearing in mind my above
observation about Lion), you can launch Yojimbo on the new machine and it
should contain all your data.

Patrick, thanks. That was the ticket. It's a bit aggravating to have
Apple deciding to hide commonly used system folders but I get that
they are primarily a consumer company and learning to do something
like hold down the option key to show the rest of the drive is easy
enough. Looks like I may need to actually buy the "missing manual"
series for Lion...(G).

All is fine now. Thanks!
