Empty Groups Recreating Themselves

DEVONthink Tips
1

I don’t remember what I did to cause this, but for a couple of months now I have two group folders that keep recreating themselves in my global inbox. One happens every day, one every two days. This is probably something very simple that I’m just overlooking. I keep deleting the folders, but they keep spawning, and are always empty. Anyone have a clue as to what sort of monster I’ve created, and what silver bullet can put it down?

Check your setting in Preferences > Sync for “Conflicts”. Is “Duplicate Documents” selected?

  1. Quit DEVONthink.
  2. In the Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste: ~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink Pro 2/Inbox.
  3. If you see the folders in here (and this is where they should be) you can safely delete them.
  4. Relaunch DEVONthink.
  5. If the folder is not there, then repeat starting at step 2 with this path: ~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink Sorter/Global Inbox

Thanks, Korm. It is set to “Use latest document.”

Thanks, BlueFrog. They were in that folder and I deleted them. I’ll let you know if they reappear.
