Decide Where Your Documents Will GoĪs you use DEVONthink, you can put each document in a specific group, in a catch-all inbox-perhaps in any of several databases-or in the global Inbox. In case you’re wondering what kinds of documents you can put in DEVONthink, the answer is any kind at all! DEVONthink can index anything containing text, and it can display nearly any kind of text or graphics file, most audio and video files, and even documents from Microsoft Office and Apple’s Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps.Įven if you import a document that DEVONthink can’t display, the document can stay in the database, and you can open it using another app (see Edit Documents in External Apps). I finish with Joe’s Recommendations for Getting Stuff into DEVONthink, a topic aimed at helping you come to grips with all the choices. With this important decision out of the way, I then explain the major ways of adding data. In this chapter, I begin by discussing what you can put in DEVONthink and helping you figure out where you want DEVONthink to place newly added content by default. In fact, the biggest problem you may have is deciding which method you should use to put a particular piece of information into your database. Whether you’re starting from scratch with newly created data or importing content from existing files or Internet sources, DEVONthink offers many mechanisms for collecting information.
