Hi there, before upgrading ma MacOS 26, I’d like to know if it is compatible with DEVONthink 3.9.15.
I haven’t find any thread on that, except one asking for compatibility with DT 4.x but I haven’t upgraded (yet).
As I’m using it on an everyday basis, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Yes, 3.9.15 will run on macOS Tahoe. However, we do not recommend moving to it now. By and large, you should avoid installing the .0 release of an operating system. And Tahoe has plenty of bugs. You are not missing out on anything so don’t let FOMO lead you to an unpleasant situation. Wait for at least the .1 release.
You’re right. Next release is on its way.
My experience with upgrading to Tahoe is that PDFs in Preview and in Devonthink are not completely working. This situation concerns selecting and highlighting text. Although it works in other PDF readers, they do not apply the PDFKit framework. Note that my experience is on an M1 Pro processor. On an M4 one, selecting works but it looks a bit odd. Apart from that, some applican icons are glassified, others are not (even for default Apple ones).
This behavior also exhibits itself for Tahoe being freshly installed (without an upgrade) or a reinstall. So, for me it is back to a fresh install of Sequoia, which worked out well.
Hi, I have upgraded to Tahoe and many times when i try to export a file, the applications hangs and i need to force quit. I can then export the file when I re-open Devonthink, apart from that no issues.
What kind of document did you export and how exactly?
In the last case it was a small PDF file using the commands: File-Export-Document, the same happens with File-Export-Files and Folders
Usually the cursor stops spinning after a while and it releases the app for further use, sometimes i need to force quit and open again
Two finger scroll up and down on the macbook trackpad doesn’t work either, i have to drag and hold the scrollbar (it does work in other apps)
Also no previews of JPG and DOC , Pages and Numbers files, PDF files preview ok
Get Info pop-up of files not working either
Launch Apple’s Activity Monitor application (see Applications > Utilities), select DEVONthink in the list of processes while it’s spinning, choose the menu item View > Sample Process and send the result to cgrunenberg - at - devon-technologies.com. Thanks in advance!
Additional details for the other issues would be useful too as all of this is currently quite vague (and we haven’t received any similar reports and quick tests were just successful).
I have rebooted a few times and the problem has disappeared, if it should return i will send you the sample process
As MacOS 26.1 was released, I bump this topic.
I made the upgrade and Devonthink 3.9.16 seems to behave bravely and correctly, at least for what I’m asking it, that’s scan documents with ScanSnap, Move them between database and sync them. The add to DEVONthink command on IOS (v 3.8.14) also works smoothly. The only thing I noticed is that the icon is not updated for MacOS26 
.
I fully agree with your statement, no problems for me too with Devonthink 3.9.16, Tahoe 26.1 and Scansnap. Everythings works like expected.
Yesterday (18 May) I installed Tahoe 26.5 (upgrade from earlier version of Tahoe). Now I am unable to share to DEVONthink – worked perfectly before the upgrade. Is there a connection? What do I need to do to restore this functionality?

Share from where in what format?
What do you mean “share”? Do you mean syncronise? If yes, then as @chrillek asks what method. I’ve noticed no issues with Dropbox and Bonjour with that current version of macOS.
Until today if I wanted to save a a webpage (as a web archive) to DEVONthink I would simply under the"File" heading in my browser (I use Arc which is built on Chrome) click on “Share” which would open a drop-down menu (still does) that included DEVONthink as an option. That option as of my move to Tahoe 26.5 is no longer available. The option still functions in Chrome on my iPad.
Thanks for clarifying. I suggest that you check your global Privacy settings – too many to post screenshots here.
Searching The Net for “tahoe add app to sharing menu” turns up this, for example:
Thanks for the suggestion. I checked my global Privacy settings and both Arc (browser) and DEVONthink have and have had full disk access.
Sharing is not required just as the browser extension isn’t. See this blog post:
Thank you. It was that blog post awhile back that alerted me to the method of using the share dialog in the first place. As I have said, this procedure worked fine until yesterday when I updated the MacOS to Tahoe 26.5. Share itself still works the same way (in both Arc and Chrome), but DEVONthink is no longer a share option and as far as I can tell cannot be added. I have tried from Settings. Also, as I mentioned before, this procedure still works on my iPad (iPadOS 26.4.2). So it looks like the new Mac OS (Tahoe 26.5) does something to block sharing to DEVONthink. Why should DEVONthink be excluded from share, and not for example, Evernote, which is permitted. I was hoping the share to DEVONthink method could be restored because for me it was the easiest and most convenient way to save WebArchives.
We have not determined why Tahoe decides to evict our sharing or browser extension. It had been working fine for some time now.

It’s certainly not the quickest.
