DT4 - Thrilled this is coming

Well, I too got caught up a bit in the excitement of DT4. I saw the Reddit post where it mentioned that it was in Beta but then when I saw the email I thought oh well it is out of beta quickly so I raced over, purchased the license extension and realized that it was still in beta.

But it’s fine. I’m thrilled to support everyone there.

There are a few things I will buy even if it means going without something.

  1. DEVONthink license extension.
  2. Obsidian Sync
  3. ChatGPT, Grok, Claude

Anyway, I’m glad to have this. I’m kind of scared to use it until it maybe gets a little closer to release unless you think I would be OK doing it.

One thing I wanted to ask is, will it still sync with DTG if I did install it.

By the way, there is one more thing I’d like to ask while I’m here. I noticed that I have two DEVONthink apps in my applications. I am adding them so you can see them. I assume the correct one is DEVONthink 3 and that I can just delete the other one. Correct?

I can’t wait to start to use this. Thank you for extending the length of the new license that I just bought until the new version is released.

Thanks for the enthusiasm and support.
I suggest you start here, if you haven’t…

READ ME – Running the DEVONthink 4 Beta

Yes, it will sync with DEVONthink To Go.

No, that’s not correct. DEVONthink 3 is clearly well, version 3. DEVONthink 4 has no number as the version number is becoming less important.

Thank you.

Well, the writing about using the beta scared me a bit but the way you’re talking about it here doesn’t make me feel quite as scared. So I think I may give it a shot but probably wait till the morning when I am clear minded.

I will back up everything first.

Something I read on your site really shook me up. Positively. Linking between documents and even between anything within the app.

I’m almost wondering now if this could be used more like Obsidian. I’m going to start doing all kinds of linking and see how much more I can use this.

So much goodness. You guys just keep making it rain. Incredible. Thank you.

You’re welcome!
Get some rest and come at it fresh in the a.m. :slight_smile:
