I’ve spent some time reading and pondering, and I’m still a bit stumped about one particular issue: how files are (or are not) saved in the Dt database.
Here’s how I understand it right now; please let me know if I’ve mangled it.
When you import files into DevonThink, it makes a copy of the file for the database.
When you drop and drag a file, it indexes the file, but doesn’t copy it (??)
I may also have that completely backwards. Basically, I’d like to get rid of file duplicates, since I don’t have a lot of hard drive storage space. I can back them up on a server, but want to keep DevonThink for use on the laptop so I can work while I travel.
But…don’t really want to start deleting until I get this sorted out, and also can make sure that I choose the best method of importing going forward
I really love Dt so far!
