I am in my trial period for DT and, being a complex beast, I am slowly getting the hang of it but there is this issue that puzzles me: somehow I managed to import my full RSS subscriptions from News Reader in form of an OPML file into Devonthink.
So what happens now is that everytime I launch Devonthink it “updates feeds” and around 11503 items appear on my global Inbox. I have tried sending that group to the Trash, but upon restart they appear again and download the contents of the feeds (Devonthink does this really fast, by the way) It seems that Devonthink deletes the downloaded items but not the subscription themselves!
Yes they are groups, and the feed posts appear are the items inside each corresponding groups (this is expected, of course)
I deleted them and emptied all the trashes just in case, a couple of times. But no matter what they keep reappering (every time the number of posts is the same, 11503 so no effect has happened)
As per your suggestion, removing it solved the problem. Thanks a lot!
Now there is obviously something that I do not grasp about DT behaviour. Why was this happening? Why the OPML file itself did not appear in the global Inbox? And if I had done this with the purpose of importing an OPML file, why was DT creating a new group with my groups of feeds on startup every time? Would it have been different if the I had put the OPML file directly in a group in a database instead of the Inbox?
As a mater of note, I use Feeds in DT and never had this issue. Even when other more specific RSS reader generates some duplicates because network bounce or original poster messes with the feed, DT not.
I have a standalone database for that, synced across all my 3 Macs and never had that issue.
