Strange behaviour - Looking at the concordance window I use my mouse to add tags by right clicking. All is fine, then “boomph”. The contents on the concordance window is gone !
Hmmmm
The only way I can kind of resolve is to OCR “to searchable PDF” again. Then I see the concondance again, and can add tags (I’m not sure how long this lasts though…)
This suggests its not an intrinsic problem of the pdf, but some type of bug that occasionally and under specific circumstances arises when adding a tag.
I note that I have other documents missing concordance (ie blank contents when there were contents originally)…
Anyone else with this errant blank concordance issue?
(ps here is the short 4 page pdf I used
“www mit edu kardar research seminars Casimir Casimir1948.pdf”
it was when adding “Kd” after a few other that concordance went blank, for me)
I’m now going to try to copy paste (appears that txt files are blocked from uploading) exact verbatim the text content in my next reply, that produces the issue (all related files are in trash, so this text does not flag as a duplicate, although I’m not sure if its still interacting in some way). This text does not display a concordance as it, although I don’t know if my devonthink/mac state/environemnt is now different
Because it appears to have a link in, it is blocked
I can’t upload because ‘txt’ is not allowed
I can’t change to suffix to eg ‘png’ because it appears corrupt…
Have done so, also included the original pdf I dragged into devonthink
"Hi there, here’s the text file
at present:
(1) I drag into the inbox
(2) I check concordance (after giving time) and no content observed.
prior to this:
(1) I downloaded this pdf (also attached)
(2) I generated searchable text via the OCR option
(3) I checked the concordance tab and at this point it did display fine
(4) I added tags (see below) but around getting half of these and I think with ‘Ky’ (not 100% sure), concordance stopped displaying
(5) I then repeated the OCR option and it displayed
(6) Following this point a series of duplicate files generated by me to try to narrow down the issue. I was getting a lot of blank cocordance ‘outputs’. But it wasn’t wholly consistent, probably because code to check for duplicates was running…
(7) So i pushed all related files into trash
(8) And now I see what is listed under “at present”
PS - this exact text sent, now seems ‘inside’ DT and I can’t get it to display anything in corcordance…however change one character, “bang”, concordance data comes back…
Does the inbox contain sensitive data? Otherwise please export it via File > Export > Database Archive… and send the archive to cgrunenberg - at - devon-technologies.com (if not too large, otherwise please provide a download link). Thanks!
