In some of my indexed folders I have true zero byte files (leftovers from LaTeX runs) like Data Review.snm (along side the real document Data Review.pdf and the source Data Review.tex).
Problem is, DEVONthink complains with an error “Empty File” in the log window and thinks the database was not repaired properly. Deleting the *.snm file doesn’t help in the long run, because an update to the LaTexX document will subsequently regenerate this file.
How can I tell DEVONthink either to ignore this file or to be happy with its zero-byte size?
If so, see the Appendix > Hidden Preferences section of the built-in Help and manual for information on how to add additional plain text extensions. You will then need to rebuild the database for them to be recognized.
