Is it possible to regex match in a smart rule?

Die Möglichkeiten, globale Smart Groups/Rules und Favorites zu gruppieren, ist für zukünftige Versionen geplant. Aber die nächste Version wird aufgrund der höheren Flexibilität oft weniger Smart Rules benötigen. Abhängigkeiten sind aber nicht geplant bisher.

Just today, I was looking for a solution to do regular-expression based renaming of Markdown files, and came across this discussion. I feel stupid, but when I first read about Scan Name in the documentation, I didn’t grasp that it was not only about scanned documents (as in scanned PDFs). The Scan Name action works on the name of any file. This is fantastic – we can do regular expression-based replacements on any file! :astonished:

No need to feel stupid :slight_smile:

And yes, Scan Name works on any item - file or group - in DEVONthink.
