DTPro 2.8.2 now automatically updating indexed files?

I’m seeing a new behavior in a DTPro database that is entirely comprised of indexed files. Now whenever I click on one of the 2 groups that are being indexed DTPro is automatically doing an update indexed items. I’ve checked permission, database details and I can’t figure out how to turn off this behavior. I only want to do the indexing when I choose to not every time I select that database or look up something.

the “hidden preference” to “Disable Automatic Updating of Indexed Items” is available in Help > DEVONthink Pro Office Help > Documentation > Appendix > Hidden Preferences

Before using Hidden Preferences of any sort, it is a good idea to open a ticket directly with Support (here or here or support_at_devontechnologies_dot_com), and confirm that the preference change addresses your personal situation.
