Due to recent temporary insanity with Bartender see: Bartender change of ownership—potential security issue? - #118 by Synchronicity - Software - MPU Talk

I’m clearing out my menu bar items and I see the DT Scripts there. How do I get it to disappear?

The global Scripts menu extra? This can be disabled via the preferences of the Script Editor.app.

Genius. I don’t think I knew it was a separate app. It’s been disabled.

Why are you disabling the global Scripts menu?

5

Because I don’t want a menubar icon for something I never use. In the past I hid it with Bartender. Given Bartender’s recent acquisition I’m paring down my menubar icons.

Do youo not use the Mail scripts in Apple Mail?

I don’t use Apple Mail. Except as an occasional backup of my gmail.

Interesting. Okay.

Lots of people use only web based email - myself included

Absolutely agree although in my case, the only time I use this menubar is in Apple Mail, specifically for DT, and so I really dislike having it always present, especially outside Mail.

Do you use DT to then archive your email? What’s your general approach to doing this, if I’m not straying to far off subject. (this would be a solution to the problematic nature of mail.app for various uses)

I don’t use DT to archive mail. Except on rare occasions.

I archive specific emails that are particularly important. To do that I use the Download message feature in Microsoft 365 / Outlook web. Then I have a Hazel script which is triggered by the .eml file and brings up the Devonthink Group Selector so I can designate where the email should go.

Interesting approach. Thanks for reply!

Welcome

For those who may be interested this is the short Hazel script I run on new .eml files in the Download direcdtory:

tell application id "DNtp"

set newFile to import theFile to display group selector

set {recName, recURL} to {name, reference URL} of newFile

if (exists newFile) then tell application "Finder" to delete theFile

end tell
