Every time I open my database, I get the notification that “it seems to be already in use!”. But, I’ve closed out on devonthink/quit the software, and restarted my computer a number of times, but I am still getting the notification. I can’t figure out where else it is on use! Is there a way to completely close out the software? I’m just worried about having two versions of the database running.
I exited out of it. And just to be sure, I did right click and ‘quit’.
I wonder if it might have something to do with how I set up my databases? I just remember in the beginning when I first got devonthink, I didn’t understand what databases were, and thought that they were “groups”. Im not sure now, but maybe I created multiple databases somehow that were duplicates?
The wording seems to indicate that. You could try to close DT now (using the menu or Cmd-Q) and see what happens when you open it again.
I’m not sure that I understand what you mean. A database can’t be a duplicate of another one. Or did you perhaps create aliases to your databases in Finder?
ok, I don’t see the message anymore, and the database automatically shows up when I open devonthink! (Compared to before, where I had to open it and then I get the message). Thanks!
Now I’m confused. It doesn’t seem like opening a database automatically when opening DT should be the preferred workflow. Some of us switch between databases enough that we want to determine which database to start with when we open DT, just as you generally open a word processing document after you start he program. To start always with the last document you edited in not usually what you want.
