Well well, that is interesting.
Thanks, Paul; I haven’t had a chance to play yet, but will certainly do so.
Cheers,
Bill

Yes, I’m pretty impressed with DTTG2. Alongside Literature & Latte (and maybe some other developers that I don’t know about) Devon Technologies have made syncing of packages workable. From the user’s point of view, it seems to me, the key to syncing of materials held by DT is, as Paul says above - to have relatively small, carefully specified databases.

This is a solid release. The document provider capability is exciting, especially since you can move through groups like you were in DTTG, and even search from within.
DevonThink has become my most valuable piece of software, and much like InfoSelect in years past I pretty much store everything within its walls. DTTG is much more powerful than what it appears to be at first glance, and keeps getting better.

Somewhat serendipitously, good ole’ Federico Viticci has just posted a very thorough review of DEVONthink To Go on the excellent MacStories site. He’s clearly making good use of the document management features. His explanations are really interesting.
Dang, and I was just looking for a good reason to CRIMP. This time using software I’ve actually got, but currently don’t use much… (actually, I do use DEVONthink Pro a lot, but more as a database/document store than as a project manager).

Interesting, what he writes right at the end about saving out web pages. I currently tend to save web pages out as articles, printed to PDF and stored in Curiota (a single operation from the print menu); contrary to Federico, I find that most hyperlinks are perfectly well preserved. Curiota is one of the most useful Mac apps ever, with an excellent quick-search function, but I’m disappointed that its parent app Curio shows no signs of being released as an iOS app (actually, the developer did explain the logic to me, and I do appreciate it - Curio is a mightily complex piece of software). But I can see no reason not to integrate Curiota’s library with DEVONthink - doing so should be quite straightforward, in fact.
Wow, wot a lot of CRIMPing entertainment to look forward to!
Cheers,
Bill
