Twicks if you are the kind of person to sew DEVONthink logos on your bicycle seat, our conversation is over.
Let me be clear to the powers which matter. I will not buy DEVONthink Pro 2 until the Sorter has an option to be invisible everywhere.
Stop rubbing our face in your software. Many of us chose DEVONthink as we are busy people and need powerful tools. As we use lots of these tools, we need tools which don’t call unnecessary attention to themselves. With this cluttered branding you are making the FOSS argument really loudly as at least there we can just program out the routine ourselves.
Right now I am stuck with no way to copy straight into a DEVONthink note as I won’t put up with Sorter as is, and the hot keys won’t work without the branding on the screen.
And your AppleScript to Copy Selection into DEVONthink Pro won’t work with DEVONthink Pro 2.
Thanks Christian for wasting my time and the time of all the other commenters on the thread with your in-your-face branding.
You seem to be slowly getting as detached as Michael Jackson did in Neverland, with your 50 year old packrat fanbase on these forums praising everything you code, crappy or good.
Do I sound annoyed? I am. With the money, I’ve spent on your software over the years (the only program of which which still gets use is DT), I feel we deserve better. Or if you don’t want to fix this, perhaps you’d give me a refund so I can go and buy Yojimbo or some other software with working single keystroke note creation.
Please fix this.
