You may know that you can paste icons onto documents and groups in DEVONthink to easier distinguish them: Copy any picture, then open the Info panel for the document or group (Tools > Show Info), select the icon, and paste your picture.

Copy the icon you would like to use to the clipboard, then select the database package in the Finder, open the Info panel (File > Get Info), select the icon field, and paste your picture.

And today they have just released a brand new ebook created in partnership with us: Joe Kissell’s Take Control of Getting Started with DEVONthink 2 has the calm, thorough, and real-world advice you need to understand how DEVONthink can bring order to your information life.

Quite a few of you have already contacted us and asked if we are planning an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad companion to DEVONthink. Our answer always was: ‘Stay tuned.’ Starting today it is: ‘Yes, and it’s already in beta test’. (more)
