Just curious, but I’m wondering why documents and sub-groups created with DEVONthink to Go do not auto-deconsolidate in DEVONthink macOS? I can select them and choose to move them to the external folder, but they don’t do this automatically. I suppose I could track down the old script I used to automate this process in the 2.0 days, but hopefully either I’m missing a step or it would be a feature that could be added.

I have confirmed the behavior here but @cgrunenberg would have to comment on the why.
I’m guessing it’s because sync doesn’t invoke a filesystem event in the indexed folder.

@cgrunenberg any thoughts on this?

The sync doesn’t handle this, DEVONthink To Go should and I’ve forwarded this.

Fixed for the next release.
