Some people use TJ HD’s excellent Language Switcher to start applications with a localization different than the system’s default language. Unfortunately this only starts the app in the other localization but breaks proper localization support for internal but independent elements such as smart templates or AppleScript scripts. So if you are using Language Switcher and experience that some smart templates or scripts don’t work please use it without Language Switcher.

Mac blogger Macdrifter recently started a mini series of postings about how writers work and which tools they use. He started with blogger and multimedia designer Brett Terpstra. For his research Brett uses DEVONagent Pro and DEVONagent Express. (mehr)

Just in time for the Christmas holidays in many parts of the world we have released a number of maintenance updates for all editions of DEVONthink, DEVONagent, and DEVONnote.

Download the apps from our download page. To directly update your copy open the app and choose Check for Update in the app’s application menu (the one labeled with the application’s name).

It’s update season here at DEVONtechnologies — and you shouldn’t miss it! We have added new functionality and eye candy, made all apps faster and more reliable, and, of course, fixed dozens of bugs and glitches. And we have added a brand new freeware app: Grid!

Finally, Apple approved DEVONagent Pro 3.0.1 today and released it to the Mac App Store. So if you were waiting for this to happen, today is your day. Click here to get to the DEVONagent Pro page on the Mac App Store.

We have just released a first update for DEVONagent Pro 3.0 that brings support for OS X Lion’s fullscreen mode as well as many other improvements and bug fixes. Update your copy with the built-in update function or download it from our Download page.

Finally, three weeks after we have posted version 3.0.3 of DEVONagent Express to Apple for review the new release is finally available in the Mac App Store. You can download it through the App Store app (which sounds a bit like a hiccup, BTW).  And PhotoStickies has made it, too. That means that our first freeware application for the Mac ever released now also made the jump. Click here to get it.

If you don’t need the full power of DEVONagent Pro or even just DEVONagent Express we have good news for you: We have submitted DEVONagent Lite to the Mac App Store today. It’s small, it’s convenient, and it’s free. (mehr)

After seven months of public beta testing we have released DEVONagent 3.0 today. And because it’s the best (re)search assistant we’ve ever made we now call it DEVONagent Pro :-) We made it compatible to OS X 10.7 Lion, of course, support 64 bit mode, and have updated or rewritten all plugins. If you’re a JSTOR fan, SEC website user, or lawyer researching on LexisNexis: DEVONagent Pro supports them all now, too. (mehr)
