DTP and DTTG4 - disabling geolocation

DEVONthink
1

Title says it all really. I think in DT3 we were able to disable indexing the geolocation of files. I can’t find the instructions, which I think were posted in here after a query about it a couple of years ago, and I can’t find it in help either. How do I turn it off in new DEVONthink?

(I have already disabled it in DTTG4 by disabling location permissions, but wanted this post to cover both for clarity for anyone looking how to do it!)

Hmm. So the puzzle is that this is already disabled for DEVONthink, but that I saw a message saying it was indexing geolocations this morning. Any ideas?

In fact it’s running right now:

You might have to restart the app.
