#DEVONTHINK PRO OFFICE UPGRADE#

When you upgrade from DEVONthink Personal your database is copied to ~/Databases.That said - keep in mind that you are able to ‘personalise’ group icons and the toolbar etc., so there is an element of ‘customisability’ to having it look more like something you would prefer.We’ve made switching from an existing installation of version 2 to DEVONthink 3 as easy as downloading and installing the new version.ĭEVONthink 3 uses the same database format as previous versions so you can open them in the new generation without losing the ability to switch back should you want or need to do so (you might lose changes to elements using version 3 features, though). I take your point on the UI – I am hopeful that it will be dramatically improved with V3 – but in all honestly, given how I am now so familiar with it, I find my focus is exclusively on my files and their content, and the UI is pretty much in the background – especially in 3-Pane view (where I am 99% of the time). Regarding what you have from Evernote, most of these can be done with DTPO. I can’t figure out what I am missing out on it. I might have to rethink all this and put everything into 1 Database to get better search-ability. These 6 Databases reflect the 6 “Stacks” of Notebooks that I had. So I send what I want to Pocket, it simplifies the article, and then I send to Evernote. I used to use the Evernote Web Clipper alot, but then I discovered Pocket about 2 years ago. Scan and Digitize Business Cards (one I never use) Monthly Uploads of 10GB (I only use about 1~2gb)

It would be nice to test-drive the iOS version, since I am on my iPad Pro a lot, but I don’t want to spend $14 on an app that may not cut it.

I only have the Mac version because of the trial. I took the plunge to experiment and try DTPO, but so far, I don’t see anything amazing about it.Īs “first world” as this sounds, I see a clunky-ugly looking app each time I open it.

When you are not prepared to spend time cutting past some of the UI quirks to do what you need, you may likely end up setting it aside rather than getting full use from it. When you do not know specifically why you need it, you will likely not miss it. Otherwise, I recommend to pass on buying DTP just based on comments about how good it is. I would however also check out other somewhat equally capable apps such as EagleFiler or FoxTrot Professional. In short: I suggest that you try DTP when you know that you need an app to set up various types of (boolean and smart) searches across a collect of files in order to collect documents that follow common themes. I also acknowledge that folks on the forum and here speak highly of the app to meet their needs. I hear rumors that a new version is in the works, but those rumors have been floating for over a year. My summary after raising such concerns (and sometimes venting them as strong frustrations) is that a significant class of folks, including the designers themselves, have cut their teeth thoroughly on the app and are seemingly numb to issues of UI and approach. the more features that we can make visible for users, the better). power trumps design) and that UI concerns are purely a subjective matter (i.e.

Discussions on the DTP forum typically include the mantra that DTP is so powerful that you can do anything with it (i.e. My major gripe with DTP is that its UI design (seriously aging) and its approach to certain actions (quirky or somewhat counter intuitive) often get in the way of fluid work flow for me. This may serve as an example to which you can relate for your position (faculty/student in academia). In DTP, I set up folders with searches to collect specific content for various chapters in the textbook. I am using DTP to collect content for a textbook.

To appreciate how good Devon Technologies search is, try their free EastFind product - knocks the socks off Spotlight! It really is an amazing search tool that everyone should have. One very good aspect of this product is that your information is not held is a proprietary format, but the original documents are retained and remain accessible, should you wish to move away from DevonThink.

Devon Technologies give you a generous 150 hour trial, but the more you use this app the more powerful it becomes, so even after 150 hours you will not experienced it’s full potential. As Joe suggests, it is the incredible fast search capabilities that give this application it’s power.

I initially tried it, just because I thought I should see what $80 gets you… That trial has lead to it being my core application! I use it principally to store information regarding my research (water towers), but also have other databases to store information relating to  Macs and various societies I’m involved with. I got my copy “free” - it was included in a MacUpdate Bundle, that I was buying for other software.
