I have no idea whether this is feasible or not so it’s probably a stupid idea but…ĭTP’s excellence is in its AI and search, so there’s a great incentive to keep (or index) TBX files in DTPO. Single click access to TBX notes from DTPO Of course, if you have enough influence to prod DevonTHINK in the direction of expanded user-defined metadata so these workarounds weren’t necessary, that would be even better. $Source=“Bernstein2011” would become the DTPO tag Source=Bernstein2011 (thus facilitating DTP’s search and smart groups facilities).įor especially pleasing results it would be very nice if the return journey could disassemble the tag, so DTPO records with tags which begin with existing attributes could automatically (or be selected to) populate those attributes. Ideally the new tag would have a marker to to indicate the host attribute. It would be a nice feature if I could simply identify which attributes would be added to DTPO’s tags – automating the process I go through now. The TBX notes then contain redundant data. When the time comes to export these notes to DTP, then I either lose this extra data, or I have to pre-process the notes to add the contents of the attributes to $Tags, so that they’re captured in DTPO. If I take notes in TBX, then of course I keep data in discrete attributes ($Source, $Author, $BoolWhatever, $StrThingy and so on).
User-defined mapping of TBX attributes to DTP tags.
