Auto-clearing of completed items

DEVONthink Automation
1

The following script is an extension of the “Move to Done” script written by Christian Grunenberg. This version does the exact same thing, but functions as a Smart Group script, so that cleared items from within a particular group get moved to a global “Done” folder whenever the group is visited. I prefer having this automated than having to manually run a script each time.
