I am a new user of DEVONThink Pro, and probably this will be reflected in my question!
I have actually two questions:
-
If I want to open a webpage in DT Pro, it is easy to drag it from my browser into DT and thus to open it. Suppose my browser is not open, I just happen to have a URL in a document and I want to open it straight in DT Pro, what to do? Of course, I can first open the browser and then drag and drop. But I have not managed to find a short way to open a URL straight in DT Pro: if I create a new document and add the URL in the URL column, it does not do anything. Is it possible to do it in just one click, or is it better to enter the URL first in the browser, and then drag and drop?

Regarding the capture function: it seems the toolbar only allows for “Capture HTML”, while the contextual menu allows both for “Capture HTML” and “Capture Webarchive”. What do you advise, what is the difference? Is webarchive the most stable copy of a webpage, something similar to PDF? I capture webpages for use in academic work, so it needs definitely to be very stable, and to look exactly as the webpage used to be (including pictures, etc.), even if open it five years later. Could you explain the comparative advantages and uses of the two different modes of capturing? If they are very different, could DT consider allowing for having the two different modes as buttons in the toolbar?
I have not found a clear explanation in the tutorial (or maybe I didn’t see it) or in the forum - hence this question! Thank you for clarifying!
