I index entire folders of the Mac filesystem in DTPO. But in fact I only need the PDF, DOCX and XLSX files in DTPO, but particularly not all the TEX, AUX, GZ and LOG files which are produced by LaTeX.
Is there a way to index entire folders in DTPO but to hide files which match to given criteria?
I have an app that creates a .plist file for every corresponding document, and I index the entire folders into DEVONthink. I don’t want to see the .plist files, so to hide them I use a Hazel script attached to the indexed folders. This might work for you, assuming that you use/want to use Hazel.
Does the script make invisible the files in the folder or only the referrences to these files in DTPO? Because: In the Finder I need to see these files.
It hides them completely, so that makes this suggestion unworkable for you. I don’t have any other suggestions at this time, but I’ll think about it further.
