i use the view ‘as Three Panels’. What bugs me is that devonthink doesn’t seem to remember the last (reading) position of any of my files. so when i search and 4 files show up, i can’t just jump between them because every time i have to scroll down again.
Opening lots of PDF documents and finding all occurrences in them might indeed be not that fast. But images, plain/rich text documents or web stuff (bookmarks, web archives, HTML pages) shouldn’t cause huge delays.
