In den letzten Monaten hat Forumsnutzer @PixelTracker einige nützliche Skripte für DEVONthink veröffentlicht. Dann erschien kürzlich ein neuer Satz von Skripten und wir fragten uns: „Wer ist eigentlich die Person, die diese Skripte schreibt?“ Also haben wir ihn eingeladen, von sich und seinen Gedanken zu erzählen.

Vor ein paar Wochen wurden wir von Gerald Koeder kontaktiert, dem Entwickler des Hilfsprogramms „Start“ für den Mac, das nicht nur das Starten von Anwendungen und das Öffnen von Dateien ermöglicht, sondern auch die Verweise von DEVONthink unterstützt. Wir haben ihm geantwortet und er hat unsere Frage nach einem kurzen Interview für unser Blog dankend angenommen. Lesen Sie weiter… (mehr)

Avigail Oren und Ada Barlatt haben zusammen die großartigen Online-Kurse DEVONthink for Historians entwickelt. Kein Wunder, dass wir auf die beiden aufmerksam geworden sind und mehr über ihre gemeinsame Geschichte erfahren wollten. (mehr)

Ein ganz besonderes Weihnachtsgeschenk für uns kam in Form einer E-Mail an unseren Kundendienst, die wir kurz vor den Feiertagen erhielten. Geschrieben hat sie Sam Ginsberg aus Australien, der gerade 98 Jahre alt geworden war. Sam wurde 2010 unser Kunde, um in Zukunft papierlos zu arbeiten. Damals war er 89 Jahre alt. Kein Wunder, dass wir neugierig wurden und ihn fragten, ob wir ein klein wenig von seiner erstaunlichen Lebensgeschichte erzählen dürften. Und hier ist sie. (mehr)

Information worker Yann Rousse switched from Evernote to DEVONthink. He described how he managed the transition in detail in an excellent blog post on Medium:

Moving to DEVONthink from Evernote is not a trivial change. The new tools available to handle my Information and Knowledge activities are quite different and in many ways, far more powerful. The learning curve has started for me but I feel DEVONthink is not only excellent but most importantly the proper fit for me. I’m just beginning to perceive how I can now extend my use of such tool as most barriers I had with Evernote have been lifted now. (mehr)

(yes, ‘one app to rule them all’ again…)

The following are some thoughts on what I think could be added to or improved in DEVONthink Pro Office (DTPO) or DEVONthink To Go (DTTG2). From this series of blog posts you will have guessed that I am a big fan of this software. It has genuinely made life so much easier for me (especially academically) and even after a good few months of daily use, some of the features I come across still surprise and delight with their simplicity and logical manner! Still, anyone using a piece of software to this extent will occasionally think ‘I wish it did this’ or ‘wouldn’t it be good if’, so here is my collection of those moments. (mehr)

In this post I want to detail some of the ideas I’ve only touched on previously, and show how these have really changed my workflows. So far my posts have been quite general, and some further detail in areas may be beneficial. The main things I want to talk about are the DEVONthink Pro Office (DTPO) artifical intelligence (AI) and using DTPO as a basic wiki/outliner for larger projects. (mehr)

I wanted to make this post very much an ‘examples of use’ text rather than just listing the features in the app or talking about the sync — again there is a comprehensive manual and many associated articles that do that. I also wanted to preface it with the fact that for me, the main usage for the app is capturing information whilst away from my Mac, and recalling pieces of information that just won’t wait. (mehr)

Leaving academia behind (mostly) for now, we come to the tangled mess of information gathered during my personal life. I don’t do clutter and so, until I started using DEVONthink Pro Office (DTPO) a few months ago, there actually wasn’t much information collected and stored. (mehr)

As my professional role has developed I have become more involved in authoring, reviewing, and submitting academic papers, amongst other activities such as grant and report writing. Prior to DEVONthink Pro Office (DTPO), there was a lot of flicking through numerous PDFs and web pages, whilst trying to keep track of different sections of writing, of which there are always several on the go at once. The main apps in use here are DTPO, Bookends, OmniFocus. (mehr)
