I now have 18 files that are indexed in two separate databases. How do I delete the files in one database, but keep the files in the other and in finder?
The manual says if I delete the files in either database, they’ll be deleted in finder. What’s the most efficient way to get the indexed file out of one of the DT databases, and keep them in the other & finder?
For that matter, if I have other files indexed as a group and no longer want them indexed, but kept in both finder & DT, how do I do that? Or if I want some of them to no longer be indexed?
If I index a folder, I’ll be warned about the filesystem if I delete the folder from Devonthink.
If I’m in Devonthink and delete a descendant (file or folder) of an indexed folder, I’ll be taken at face value and the delete will take place at the filesystem level.
If anything is indexed in more than one DT database, it won’t get deleted from the filesystem until it’s deleted from all DT databases where it appears.
Which raises a question, something I’m often guilty of, possibly beyond the scope of this discussion.
If Devonthink keeps track of what else has an item indexed by hard links, how would it keep track across volumes?
