I just realized that when I save a RTF document through the DT’s icon in the Mac Menu Bar (I don’t know its name) the saved document does not keep the color formatting I saved the file with. Is there something wrong my DT or is this normal?
This image shows an example of what it is supposed to look (on the left) and how it saved without the color formatting (on the right):
it’s just a way to organize myself. The punctuation is a habit I have to “code” things like: ambiguous terms, exact terms, lists, categories, quotes, own thoughts, etc. I also color code text. In this group in particular are files related to “motivation” (which turns out to be quite a broad a poorly understood concept) and other strongly connected concepts. The name of this group will shorten as its content gets organized and clarified, god willing.
Thank you for checking out this thing with the color not saving, you rock
Hi, just wondering if the colored (rtf) text does not stay when save it in the Sorter, I am very curious (and discouraged) about it. Thank you in advance
That seems to be the case. It’s a very tiny editor and as you noticed, evidently not full of features found elsewhere.
Meantime, I recommend you use a more full-functioned RTF Editor, e.g. “TextEdit” which is provided free by Apple on your macOS. Or others. e.g. Pages, etc.
To get on with things now, you can use the Menu: File → Share → Add to DEVONthink which is available in many if not all (appropriate) apps. Or save to the DEVONthink Global Inbox folder.
The Sorter could preserve text colours however when the text can come from a variety of sources, often with unwanted foreground and background colours (i.e clipped text from a web page) saving the original text colours is not always desired. Currently on saving the text is converted to a standard foreground and background colour.
