Can I / how to select folder for webclips via search?!

hey DT + community,

I was searching the forums, documentation + interwebs – but surprinsingly nowhere find a solution for this: (how) can I chose the target folder for a webclipping via search?

– what I see is when the webclipper interface is presented is
a) a list icon on left which allows me to search for documents / folders in open DT dbs
b) a Safari icon to select location to safe webclippings to either 1) last used folders 2) favorites 3) folder hierarchies of open dbs

both is of course nice
– now, what I am looking for is the interface of both, i.e. I want to type a folder name (or partial string) into a search box AND then save the webcontent to the found / selected folders.

when saving a lot of webcontent searching your way through complex folder hierarchies ‘by hand / foot’ (or just be presented recently used folders + favorites) becomes very tedious.
I suppose I have overlooked an existing way to achieve this… but I couldn´t find it.

thx for hints + help!

Currently, there is no option to search for a specific location in the Clip to DEVONthink view of the Sorter. This may be a feature in a future release.

thanks for clarifying, John!

thanks also for adding my voice supporting / seconding any such consideration.

[btw: if you should work on the clipper UX, I´d also propose to allow for ENTER keystroke to confirm the sending to the DT-db; that would also make things more economic + convenient for keyboard peoples]

best! oliver

Did you already know Command-S saves the data?

OH! no.
that is good to know.
:slight_smile:

to my mind it´s not the intuitive one in the context of a pop-up sheet.
but of course it does it´s work as well!
– maybe you still consider the proposal for ENTER as addition (or maybe even as the more intuitive key in this context)

in any way, thx for pointing out!
