Easier navigation between folders - itâs a pain if in a document at the end of a âchainâ of subfolders and want to open another document thatâs at the end of another chain of subfolders.
Tabs of open documents (like PDF expert) to allow you to easily switch between documents youâre working on.
Recent document list
Ability to open two instances of DTTG side by side in split screen (as in PDF expert and other apps) to allow comparison of documents.
A great help to people using intensively DVTTG would be to implement the âopen inâ facility not waiting for other new features; this could well replace for some time the issue with the IOS editor. Note would be created in pages/ word and saved in the relevant DevonThink group; having that in place will avoid the pain to open other applications and to be âlostâ in the structure. This works well with Notebooks. Thanks in advance.
Iâll go a little bolder and suggest it is time for DevonTechnologies to get into the same market as MarginNote. Annotations with supplemental notes, either hand written (Apple Pencil) or typed. Excerpt capture. Linking. Etc. I keep trying to make MarginNote 3 work, PDFExpert, LiquidText. But I just donât want to leave DevonThink for another environment. Can be as separate product but tightly bound to DevonThink. A big ask. But time to branch out. Maybe a partnership with MarginNote 3?
Being able to search for, and quickly navigate to, any group without having to go through the navigation stack is probably my number one on the wish list for DTTG.
Even just having a ârecent groupsâ smart list would be super helpful.
Number two on my wishlist is list support in the markdown editor (automatically inserting â-â or â1.â on newline and buttons for indentation).
Wikilinks functionality ought to be a must. This is essential for some workflows and is a fundamental difference to the way notes work in DTTG vs Mac. This should include being able to autocomplete Wikilinks when typing [[ as well.
The lack of keyboard shortcuts does make using the app rather cumbersome and inefficient on iPad, requires lots of tapping everywhere. This is all the more jarring when switching to DTTG after from using apps with excellent keyboard shortcut support like Things.
The interface ideally needs to be redesigned to be more keyboard-centric, e.g. keyboard navigation, quick searching; it has inherited too many design principles from a touch-only era, but probably this is more one for DTTG 3.
Sharing extension could very much do with a revamp to make it more streamlined as currently it requires too many taps to save a webpage. Also, saving web page archives does not work if content is behind a paywall.
The Evernote web clipper does not have this issue because it gets the content directly from the browser. Regardless of the technicalities of why this is so, I think we can agree this is not a good user experience for what is a common scenario.
Absolutely, but you face the same issue on desktop. This is not a DTTG issue.
(Personnally, I wish DT would implement SingleFile both on desktop and mobile.)
I have some simple plain text notes that I need to use at times, but pinch to zoom doesnât seem to work with them. That can be difficult for my old eyes. I suppose I could edit them and make them larger, but âŚ
I couldnât agree more about the need for wiki links (ideally bi-directional). I keep looking at system such as RoamResearch, and wishing I could do the same in DT. It is such an obvious requirement for a knowledge management system.
