“The Custom view shows metadata specified in Preferences > Data that has been applied.”
How come none of my files have any information in the Custom view? None of the options I set in preferences are brought over. Apart from date.
Edit: neither do I have the Annotate option in Data->New from template.
Do I need to install something to regain the Data-save from new template-annotations?
Or a clean install of DT3?
Screenshots would be useful.
This template isn’t part of version 3 as it’s obsolete, you could use the Annotations & Reminders inspector yet.
Ok, here goes. First time uploading screenshots here - hope it all goes well.
Thanks for helping out, cgrunenberg.
Did you enter any metadata in these fields? They don’t self-populate.
Though there’s no guarantee metadata will be found for every PDF, you could use a smart rule like this…
This…
to this…
Eureka! So they don’t self-populate - noe I see. Thanks for the script, BLUEFROG:)¨
Always appreciate your kind help.
Edit: @BLUEFROG It still doesn’t carry over the abstract by this is a considerable upgrade. Thanks!
You’re welcome. The script itself is from @cgrunenberg. I just put the smart rule together for you.
