How to use the Comment column? And Keywords?

DEVONthink Tips

Hello,

I’ve been experimenting with View>Columns and am puzzled by how to use the Comment column. Just clicking or double-clicking in the column doesn’t allow me to create or edit a comment. And pressing Command-Shift-I brings up an information window, but there doesn’t appear to be a Comment field there to fill in. (There is a Spotlight Comments field, but that appears to be totally different.)

I’m also curious about Keywords. How are they different from tags?

Thanks,
Rick

They were. Thanks!

I was thrown at first by the fact that it isn’t possible to select and edit the Comment field with most items. What I have gathered is that Comment isn’t a “native” DevonThink property, and therefore it won’t be possible to create or edit the Comment for items that don’t have that property originally. Have I got it about right?

You are correct, not all documents support the fields that are shown in the Properties window.
