@shanshuprophecy: Icon previews are the culprit for high memory use, and that is something I will be addressing soon. You can disable those in the View Options panel if they're causing problems.

Together can easily handle libraries of 20,000 items or more on an Intel Mac, so it could be that you were having a problem specific to your library. Such problems are usually easily remedied, so please get in touch through the Support pages on my site - thanks. Also, I should mention that as Together keeps all the original files on disk, they will always be accessible.

The best feature for me is the shelf. I can easily drag stuff onto it, and then into the folder or collection I want without opening the main application window.

The other one is using a shortcut key to enter a quick note. It's increased the number of times I actually write down ideas and thoughts by an order of magnitude.

Wow, this applications has come a long way. Before I bought Yojimbo when Together was still called K.I.T. I tested it and found it lacking. Now I'm going to buy a copy and ditch Yojimbo for this.

Indispensible app for me now.

I've been using Devon Pro for a couple years now and Yojimbo before that. Yojimbo was way too simplistic and Devon Pro way too 'feature rich' for what I wanted to do. I need to place to drop things and easily find them later. In Togegther use tags and Smart Folders to help me organize my world and love the user interface in Together. Since I stated using it, I haven't had to refer to the manual once. After 25 years in the software business, that tells me it was designed well. Nice job Steve! Since I synchronize using ChronoSynch between my desktop and MacBook every day I LOVE the fact that Together uses the standard Mac OS folder system for organizing my data. With Devon Pro, every time I made a change to the database, the entire 300MB+ would have to be copied between my two computers. Now, it's just the files that have changed. Sweet! Good product, good price and good support. Keep up the great work!

Together has the best web page to PDF archive feature out there. Pages with the most complex layouts are captured faithfully, with all the text and links intact. This is way better than using File > Print > Save as PDF from the browser, which more often than not screws up the layout and colors.

I also prefer to capture web pages as PDF rather than web archives. EagleFiler uses the latter solution, and the one negative thing about web archives is that you'd still need a connection to the internet for the page to render properly if the layout is controlled by a separate CSS file, or files.

Certain widgets such as Vimeo and iTunes won't be captured though, and I've yet to find a utility which will do this reliably.

Everything else is done very well too. Tagging, grouping and folder management. Search works as advertised, very fast and the results are presented in an easy to digest fashion.

Start up and shut down is blindingly fast. One tip here is to turn off icon preview.
