Duplicates in DTP 4

Thank you for DTP 4!

Just updgraded from 3.9.13 to 4.0.1…

Is it me or is there a known issue which would cause hundreds (1,343 of 23,341 docs) of apparent duplicates to show up after upgrading, please?

Maybe I should run one of the file maintenance routines?

TIA for your advice, suggestions or guidance :slight_smile: !

No, there is no known issue or cause for this unless you had previously enabled Stricter recognition of duplicates enabled in the settings. It’s in the Files > General settings now.

Thanks, Jim!

I should - of course - have trusted all of you :slight_smile: .

Yes, unchecking that option made them all disappear. A good thing because they really weren’t duplicates.

Although it does seem as though the installation of 4 may have changed that setting and turned it on. Is that a possibility, please?

(So happy to be on 4. Great work!)

You’re welcome
DEVONthink 4 Copernicus is a new application, distinct from DEVONthink 3. Different app, different preferences.

And thanks for the encouragement :slight_smile:

Yes; makes sense. I have just found another preference that was set differently: mouse click opens, say, a Numbers sheet externally - with Numbers itself. Out of the box it was opening ‘internally’.

No worries… makes me all the more keen to learn the new features :slight_smile:
