DEVONthink Pro 3.9.1 – Knowledge base, information manager and much more

by

DEVONthink Pro is a knowledge base, information manager and much more. In today’s world, everything is digital. From shopping receipts to important research papers, your life often fills your hard drive in the form of emails, PDFs, Word documents, multimedia files and more. Questions eventually pop up, like where do you store all of this stuff?

 

How do you organize these very different file types, and even better, how do you find the exact file you’re looking for the second you need it? It’s almost as if you need a second brain just to keep your digital life straight.

 

DEVONthink is the solution to the digital age conundrum. It is your second brain, the one and only database for all your digital files, be they PDFs, emails, Word docs or even multimedia files. Boasting a refined artificial intelligence, DEVONthink is exceedingly flexible and adapts to your personal needs. And if the files are not digital yet, digitize them with DEVONthink Pro Office.

 

Use it as your document repository, your filing cabinet, your email archive, or your project organizer; DEVONthink can do it all. You can even collect and organize data from the Web for your own use, enrich it with sound and movie files from your hard drive, and then export the finished product as a website or to an Apple Pages document to print, should you so desire. Or copy the content to your iPod! The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.

 

DEVONthink Professional Office extends DEVONthink Pro with three additional modules: Pro-grade email archiving, paper capture including optical character recognition, and integrated Web sharing (search only.)

 

WHAT’S NEW

Version 3.9.1:

This maintenance update adds support for the squiggly underline annotations made in some PDF applications and lets you snap line annotations to multiples of 45 degrees by holding the Shift key. While editing text documents, DEVONthink now lets you move selected lines with keyboard commands. A new placeholder inserts hashtags into, e.g., templates, and the duplicate detection uses content hashes for even more acurately finding exact duplicates. And finally, DEVONthink Server’s web interface gets an option to match substrings when searching, and produces results more likely those of the desktop application.

 

Of course, version 3.9.1 also comes with many more improvements and fixes, e.g., changes to make menus and commands more consistent across the interface. And again, performance and reliability continues to improve.

 

New

  • Added support for squiggly underline PDF annotations made in some PDF applications. The underlined text also displays in the Document > Annotations inspector.
  • Added placeholder #Tags in the Insert Placeholders submenu to insert the tags of an item formatted as hash tags. This is also available as the raw placeholder %recordHashTags%.
  • Added hidden preference MaximumNumberOfRecentDestinations to set the number of locations shown in the Recent Destinations section of contextual and popup menus, e.g., in the Move to submenu. The default is ten items.
  • Added hidden preference AVSkippingInterval to specify the numbers of seconds to skip forward or backward when using the right or left arrow keys with Shift held in audio and video documents.
  • Added reference URL AppleScript property to windows and tabs to retrieve the appropriate item link for the displayed document, e.g., a link to the selected text in a PDF.

New (Server)

  • Added a popup menu to the toolbar search field in the web sharing interface to toggle matching substrings versus whole words. This matches the Partial matches while typing toolbar search option in the desktop application.

Improved

  • Moving selected lines in plain text, rich text, and Markdown documents is now possible. Use the up and down arrow keys, while holding Shift-Control, Control-Command, or Shift-Option. This is also supported in the Take Note tab of theSorter as well as the Annotations & Reminders > Annotations inspector.
  • Line annotations in PDFs now snap to multiples of 45 degrees when holding the Shift key.
  • For people annotating PDFs in DEVONthink To Go, we improved handling selection and annotation links made in the mobile app.
  • DEVONthink now more reliably detects PDFs whose text layer could potentially be corrupted by macOS’ PDF framework.
  • Enabling Stricter recognition of duplicates in the General preferences now considers document content hashes, making duplicate recognition even more accurate.
  • After you edit Markdown linked images, the preview of the Markdown document is automatically refreshed.
  • Markdown metadata is now better detected, also improving WYSIWYG editing.
  • To improve visual consistency, the default Markdown stylesheet is more like the styling in DEVONthink To Go.
  • DEVONthink better supports Apple Pencil drawings made in rich text documents in DEVONthink To Go.
  • If you’re viewing video documents, e.g., MP4s, in DEVONthink in macOS Ventura, a contextual menu is available on the video while its paused. Depending on the content, it offers options for live text, URLs, or face detection. If nothing is detected, you will see the same options as shown in the Action menu (gear icon).
  • If no DOI is found in a document’s content, DEVONthink will try to detect it in the filename.
  • When importing sheet formats, e.g., CSV, dates formatted as MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY are better handled.
  • PNG files are now used instead of TIFF, e.g., when using Data > New > With Clipboard to create a new document from image data on the clipboard.
  • Selecting an item link bookmark now shows the linked document in the view/edit pane or a document window, provided the linked item is in an open database. The inspectors will display information about the linked item as if it is the active selection. If you need to edit information about the bookmark itself, hide the view/edit pane or open the Tools > Get Info popover.
  • When you move a selected item, e.g., via the Data > Move To popover, the next available item in the item list is automatically selected.
  • The contextual menu in the search results now shows the same commands found in the contextual menu of the item list, e.g., OCR and conversion commands.
  • The Extras sidebar now refreshes more often to ensure you get up to date information from us.
  • For clarity, the “Insert Summary” option in the popup of the Annotations & Reminders > Annotations inspector was renamed to Insert Summarized Annotations.
  • If you change the Preferences > General > Appearance > View Text Size, the change now also applies to the Annotations and the Attachments tabs of the Document inspector.
  • The Document inspector now displays No Preview when the view/edit pane is not open.
  • When viewing a PDF, the alternate menu command of Edit > Copy Link changes to Copy Selection or Copy Annotation Link, depending on the selection in the document.
  • Some PDFs have poorly constructed keywords concatenated by semicolons. DEVONthink now separates and indexes these keywords and produces proper individual tags on the documents, e.g., via smart rules or Data > Tags > Convert Keywords to Tags.
  • As more than highlight annotations are summarized, the “Summarize Highlights” command menu has been renamed to Summarize Annotations in the Tools menu.
  • The Tools > Document > Mode submenu now dynamically displays the Image Selection command when viewing an image.
  • All instances of the “Add Tags to Images” command, e.g., in the Data > Tags submenu, have been renamed to Add CoreML suggestions to images.
  • The search field in the Sorter is now accessible via the Tab key.
  • The Import and Sheets tabs in the Files preferences received some minor revisions.
  • We renamed the “Highlight Internet links in views” option of the Preferences > General > Appearance to Highlight bookmarks in views.
  • New databases, global smart groups, and smart rules now use their unique identifier (UUID) to more reliably store user interface settings.
  • Geolocations will only be scanned and applied to your documents if DEVONthink has been enabled in the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
  • Clipping web content or converting documents to web archives now works more reliably.
  • When you duplicate global smart groups and smart rules, the original’s list view columns are preserved.
  • DEVONthink will now beep and bounce its dock icon if certain processes fail, e.g., bookmarklets.
  • When migrating to a new machine or upgrading to version 3.x, the application’s cache is removed for a more reliable transition.
  • If you add items from search results in the upcoming DEVONagent 3.11.8 or later, the date of each item is now included.
  • Color wells in the interface now use the more minimal macOS appearance, e.g., the color controls in the Editing preferences.
  • The Daily Journal template has an updated source for German quotes of the day.
  • Future dates are now detected when using the Name without date placeholder and AppleScript property.
  • When using any of the Tags smart rule actions, e.g., Convert hashtags to tags, whenever possible, subsequent actions in the rule don’t have to wait for the tags action to finish before they run.
  • whose queries in AppleScript now return parents, contents, and tags much faster.
  • When deleting or converting multiple records at a time, you can now pass a list of items to the delete and convert AppleScript commands.
  • Setting numeric custom metadata now works better when using a currency symbol. The smart rule script Assign Document Date & Amount is also improved by this change.
  • As the Standard edition of DEVONthink doesn’t have the Download Manager, using the add download command returns an error.
  • When processing financial documents, e.g., invoices or receipts, document amounts are more reliably detected.
  • AppleScript errors, e.g., from using incorrect arguments, return missing value.
  • Some descriptions in the AppleScript dictionary were clarified or fixed, for example, the do JavaScript, get items of feed, and indicate commands.
