Devonthink Dates Wrong in HoudaSpot Search

DEVONthink

HoudaSpot is an impressive program for searching all sorts of data on your Mac. It appears to work well with Devonthink if you create a Spotlight Index to the relevant database. However the document dates are all incorrect - both created and modified. I am not certain but I suspect the dates shown are the dates that spotlight indexed the document rather than the document date shown within DT3.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Did I configure something wrong? Is this a DT3 bug? Or is this a Houdahspot bug?

I think you should provide some evidence of the differences you see.

Thank you - that works!

The fields I was looking for were “Content Created” or “Content Modified.”

And as the article points out, the Inspector panel in Houdaspot makes this more clear.

Sorry. I misunderstood the original post.

Your post was very helpful - the template you referred to pointed out the correct fields I needed to use - “Content Created” rather than “Date Created.”

No need to delete the post - that was a good blog post.
