DEVONthink To Go: WISHLIST

BLUEFROG · February 21, 2020, 2:16am

Try quitting and relaunchg both DEVONthink and DEVONthink To Go.

No joy for me.

The last 2 databases I’m having trouble with are both labelled “Local” on the iPad. Should I delete them and retry? Or maybe disable/re-enable? (The Log says “Attempt to connect to host timed out; AsyncSocketErrorDomain 2”.)

DEVONthink To Go consistently crashes-out at around 1200/1400 items of 2000. Every time. My other DB is likely even larger.

BLUEFROG · February 21, 2020, 3:38am

Are the master databases , i.e., the ones you want on all the devices, on the Mac?

cbmackay · February 21, 2020, 3:38am

They are.

BLUEFROG · February 21, 2020, 3:40am

I would consider deleting DEVONthink To Go, reinstalling it, and following the mobile instructions I posted to import the databases afresh.

cbmackay · February 21, 2020, 3:44am

Thanks; will do!

cbmackay · February 21, 2020, 3:55am

Update! That DB copied over in no time; my next big one — about 12000 records — seems to have copied over really quickly, too.

I think you nailed it. Many thanks!

BLUEFROG · February 21, 2020, 2:05pm

You’re welcome

I’d like to add to the wishlist additional ways of capturing content to DTTG. Specifically, RTF, Formatted Note, and PDF.

Airestocky · February 21, 2020, 5:26pm

oh, and I’d love to have a Tag browser on DT2Go, like it is available on the Mac version, see snapshot.

devynosborne · February 24, 2020, 1:50am

This is exactly what I thought (until I found this thread while searching for an answer / solution).

+1 to everyone else asking for a css file preference setting for markdown such as in the “media” settings of DEVONthink Pro!

Right now I have to add a “CSS:…” declaration manually to documents on my iPad just to get them to display correctly…which is a pain in the css… thanks

kristianramirez · April 10, 2020, 11:18pm

I would love it it I could also edit the created date of an item on DTTG.

BLUEFROG · April 11, 2020, 3:04am

Welcome @kristianramirez
No promises but the request is noted.

As a long-time DT user, my biggest wish for DTTG is … Tags!

It’s possible to specify a tag during a quick capture on the Mac, it should be possible to specify a tag in the DTTG Share Sheet too.

(yes, sync and load-latency are issues too, but compared to this, minor for me)

ryanjamurphy · April 13, 2020, 1:39am

It is possible!

Tap the ellipses below the link field in the clipper. You can type tags into the field that shows up and it will autocomplete with available tags.

BLUEFROG · April 13, 2020, 3:14am

Note the autocompletion requires typing a minimum of three characters.

Biggest wish for DTTG is very simple; change that baby blue to something that contrasts better with white. Yeah yeah, my eyes aren’t the best anymore but i normally read without reading glasses on my ipad mini just fine. However ddtg with reading glasses is still unpleasant - it is my prime reason to avoid this app.

I know blue is your thing/company color but i must disagree with your use of it.

agambrahma · April 13, 2020, 6:23am

Excellent, you’ve improved my life

(when was this added?!)

I use a bunch of apps on and off, but DevonThink is the bedrock, the one thing I really couldn’t live without. Thank you all for your work!
