Devonthink terminates on adding annotation file

I’ve started seeing Devonthink terminate unexpectedly. It happens when I add an annotation file, perhaps every 50th time. It happened a few minutes ago. Now I can’t recreate it.

That’s a pretty miserable bug report, but it’s all I’ve got. Hopefully I’ll be replacing my old hand-crank Macs with new all-electric models before too much longer. I’m sure once I’m on the current OS and DT 4 a lot of things are going to be way cooler.

As soon as I stabilize on zero debt, I’m there.

Anyway, just food for thought. If I can get more data I’ll forward a trouble ticket.

macOS: Version 12.7.6 (Build 21H1320)
Model: iMac17,1
RAM: 16 GB, Processors: 4 (Intel)

Edited to add:

When DT terminates on adding an annotation, the next launch of that database warns it may be open, natural since it quit without closing the database, and the unmodified annotation appears as an orphaned file.

Hold the Option key and choose Help > Report bug to start a support ticket.

It’s on the way. I’m also hoping I can update my Macs soon. They’re in great shape but they are a little out of date.

Quick note to any finding this thread in the future. Trouble with DEVONthink is exceedingly rare. It’s about as reliable as gravity. When questions or actual trouble come up, customer support is superb. Thanks, @BLUEFROG, @cgrunenberg, and everyone at DT!
