Hello,
what the heck is going on ;-) I thought that Web Archive gives me a
possibility to look to web pages offline when I am not connected to
the Internet, but I can't?
I have in preferences in YJ Web Archives set up, so I thing that it
should be a complete web archive not a bookmark, but I am not sure
what that really is, because when I loose the Internet connection I
cannot browse any of my web archives?

Help?

The same happens to me. Yojimbo seems to be retrieving the URL of the
page rather than the (supposedly saved-to-disk) archive. Isn't this a
bug?

Well, I did some tests. My setup is as follows: ISP->cable modem-
>Airport Express->Macbook.
When I turned off Airport card archives did work fine. However when I
exported file as a webarchive I lost web page formatting?!
Second test, when I switched my cable modem to standby without Airport
Express deactivation, so I loosed in this case default gateway to the
Internet, webarchives stopped working at all. But, after a few seconds
start working as expected. Strange, it seems that something is going
on with network and webarchive file format and it might be a bug which
can appear in specific environment. BB should investigate that little
bit...

Hopefully, someone from Barebones will chime in, but I've always
thought they're only archiving the html page in Yojimbo rather than
the entire web content using Safari's webarchive package format.

That means that CSS, Javascript, any Flash documents and any images
are not included in the archive. Personally, I'd prefer that they use
the webarchive format to save the items into the database, but I don't
even know if that's possible.

Of course, I'd also like to see the ability to add Quicktime movies
(such as training videos) into Yojimbo, which I don't think is
currently possible.

I thought I was the only one that had this happen. Anyone hear of a
solution from Barebones? If not, anyone know of a good page ripper to
use? Sometimes I come across articles that span across multiple pages
so it would be nice if the program followed the links to the next
pages and got that content as well.

Have you checked under preferences -> general and told Yojimbo! to
create Web Archives when handling URLs? It is not set that way by
default.
