Convert Hashtags to Tags but based on filenames only

Hi:

Is it possible to configure the Convert Hashtags to Tags functionality to work on filenames only? While processing file-contents seems great for plaintext files, it generates a lot of noise on PDF-OCR content. As I would like to enable this at the database level for all incoming files it’s not ideal to go back and fix multiple noisy tags on multiple files.

Thanks!

Welcome @shany_rau

It is unclear what you are asking for but I am hoping you’re not suggesting adding hashtags to filenames to be detected and applied as tags. I would recommend against such a procedure.

The answer is no that function doesn’t exist in DEVONthink. It is intended to process the textual contents of a document.

As I would like to enable this at the database level for all incoming files

Please provide a highly conforming example of filenames to be processed.


That being said, scripting opens up many possibilities for extending and personalizing your experience in DEVONthink.
