Relocate Scripts Folder - DEVONThink 3 Scripts

I had originally set DT to use the scripts in a folder on my Dropbox. However, I had to relocate my Dropbox recently to another drive, but DT still references the old location (old drive).

~/Dropbox/Application Scripts/com.devon-technologies.think3/…

How/Where do I change the location of the Script Folder Destination?

Our scripts directory should not be in Dropbox. They should be in the ~/Library/Application Scripts.

Understood, thank you.

You’re welcome!
I am curious why you had them in there to begin with.

Because I had DEVONThink on two different computers (laptop & desktop) and I wanted to synchronize the scripts.

I may get struck down by lightning for suggesting this but… What would be the risk or potential consequence of placing smart rules in a Dropbox folder and then using a SymLink or Alias in the ~Library/Application Scripts folder?

If smart rules are synced to multiple computers but only one computer changes them at a time, what is the potential adverse effect that you are trying to avoid?

Actually I was using a symlink before. I just forgot where the original files were located. I’ve since figured it out. Thank you!

This won’t work, the file is only read once on startup and written on quit.
