DEVONthink Automation
29

Just some side notes…

  • We advocate using tell application id "DNtp".
  • Also, this code block is unnecessary though not necessarily incorrect)… 
-- Launch DEVONthink if it isn't already open.
tell application "System Events"
	if not (exists process "DEVONthink Pro Office") then
		tell application id "com.devon-technologies.thinkpro2" to activate
	end if
end tell

Sending a command to DEVONthink will launch it.

  • Lastly, note the activate command will bring DEVONthink to the front.
    You can use launch to run a command without bringing the app to the front, though that’s actually not necessary here.
    launch is typically used to open an app without switching from your current one, but would be unneeded here. However, some apps may require it, as needed.
