I’d like to see Open in Place support in the share sheet.
This feature is already available when browsing the DEVONthink To Go location in the Files app in iOS 11. When tapping “Share” on a document, supported apps will offer an “Open in” action (opposed to the standard “Copy to” action). In my case, markdown files can “Open in 1Writer” or “Open in Textastic”. This opens the file directly in the third-party app without any duplicates and without any round-tripping.
I’d prefer to browse my DEVONthink database using DEVONthink To Go, but this awesome feature has me using Files app instead. Can you bring this feature over to DEVONthink To Go?
The git client. Sometimes it says Copy To, but it really performs as an Open In. Both Textastic and iA Writer show that the file was opened from an external storage provider.
Please add this! It is frustrating to be able to find an item in DTTG via search or item link, but not be able to then edit it starting from within DTTG. Going to the Files app to do so is really clumsy and defeats the purpose of DTTG’s great features.
Because of this missing feature, I only use my DT databases for reference files and documents I’m “done” with and need to archive. With Open In Place, I’d actually be able to do “work” in my DT databases, saving changes as I go.
Which is how I used DT on the Mac. But Im all in on iOS now. So I have to split my work between iCloud (active projects) and DEVONthink (archived projects).
