Multiple copies of files found in Express

DEVONsphere
1

I tried using DevonSphere Express to search for a PDF file. I had 2 questions.

  1. Multiple listings for the same file and the same location came up in the search results. I don’t see differences between the listings.
  2. When I selected Open with > DEVONthink, a new copy of the file was created in the Inbox.

I’m puzzled by all the different copies. I must be missing something about how this is working.

Unlikely these two issues are related.

DEVONthink isn’t an editor for modifying files in situ after invoking “Open With”.

Selecting a file in Finder or other application that has access to the file system and using the “Open With > DEVONthink” command will generally result in DEVONthink copying that file to the destination specified in Settings > File > Import > Destination.

Regarding your first issue – what do you see in the location when you look at it in Finder?

I don’t think we have the full picture yet.

Problem solved! I wasn’t able to see a different extension on the two files listed in the DevonSphere window.
