I am still trying to wrap my mind around all that DTP does (while already finding it very useful).
I think I understand the basic scenario of AutoClassify–I have some new documents and I want them to “go to right place.”
But the scenario I often face is “find things like these”. What I really want is to say “These documents have all been classified as “Sustainable Agriculture”–what else in my database is like these documents?” Sort of a See Also for multiple documents. Is this feature available and I am overlooking it?
Thx

See Also/Classify is only available for single documents but selecting another document automatically updates a visible See Also/Classify drawer and therefore it’s easy to view the results for multiple documents.
You might consider something like this, as I think it would be useful and relatively easy to implement given all the good technology already in DevonThink.
AutoClassify is useful if you have a lot of things already classified, and you want to quickly deal with a new document (set of documents).
What I want would be useful if you already have a lot of documents, and you want to quickly browse them for a new idea, or a new way of looking at them.
You could call this feature “Pull in”–as in “I want to pull in all the documents that are like these”. I’d love this feature (but I already love See Also).
