Yes.
But there’s one edge case:
- If you’ve created a record inside a tag
- and didn’t assign another tag to the record
- or didn’t replicate the record to a normal group
in prior versions of DEVONthink then the record will be deleted with the tag.
A tag is just a special kind of group, assigning a tag to a record creates a replicant inside this group.
However, this replicant doesn’t show up in Inspector > General > Generic > Instances and you won’t see the symbol that indicates a record’s replicated state in the item list. It’s also not counted in when we ask for number of replicants in an AppleScript.
While being technically a replicant, a tag is not an obvious replicant for the user, which is a good thing.
So, if you’ve created a record inside a tag and didn’t assign another tag or didn’t replicate to a normal group, then deleting the tag will delete the only instance of this record.
If you want to make sure that all records exist in at least one normal group you could use this script. More about deleting tags in this thread .
