Is there any way to view the content of the DEVONthink 3 Reading List in DEVONthink To Go?
This is planned for future releases.
Similarly, Iād like to be able to add items to the Reading List through DTTG, please as I find, on my iPad and iPhone, that I capture a blog post etc in DTTG that Iād like to see in my DT Reading List.
Why donāt you just add a tag in DEVONthink To Go, like To Read
, then use a smart rule in DEVONthink, like soā¦
Note: I am removing the Tag in DEVONthink so Iām already filing it in the Reading List (i.e., the Reading List is providing the same function as the Tag would). However, depending on what else youāre doing with the Tag, you may want to leave it.
I am also removing the Tag so itās no longer matched by the smart ruleās criteria, avoiding future reprocessing.
Great idea! Many thanks and for reminding us of the real power behind DEVONthinkš
Youāre very welcome and yeah, DEVONthink 3 is pretty much the Infinity Gauntletā¦

Okay, maybe thatās a little exaggeration
Nice! Iād make one slight modification, though. (Well, two ā I donāt think you need the āKind is Any Documentā criterion, do you? Or are there database items that are not ādocumentsā?)
As it is, with the tag removed, the item is no longer identifiable as a reading list item in DTTG. Iād add a second criterion to the smart rule: āTag is not inReadingListā, and then replace your āRemove Tagsā action with āAdd Tags inReadingListā. That way DTTG knows itās a pseudo-reading list item, but DT3 also knows itās already added to the actual reading list.
Or are there database items that are not ādocumentsā?
Of course: groups, smart groups, tags / group tags / ordinary tags.
Useful workaround, thanks. I hope to see the Reading List in DTTG in the near future: the more comfortable device to read something is the iPad, at least for me.
When a started the trial I discovered a lot of ways to use DT that I never thought before, it has replaced both the Read it later and Bookmark services I was using before.
Itās really astonishing! At the beginning a was: Ā«DT doesnāt seem to match my workflow enough to justify the expenseā¦Ā», now I keep finding ways to use DT to evolve and improve my workflowā¦
For anyone who comes here trying to determine whether DEVONthink To Go syncs the reading list across devices and the desktop version of DEVONthink: yes, it does, in the current version of DTTG (which is 3.3.2 at the time of this writing, but I think it was in a previous update, possibly around 3.3).
Yes, this was introduced in a previous update.
