A feature I find to be convenient is the “Insert Quote” dropdown under Annotations - this lets me create an Annotations file with specific quotes from a PDF as well as links to that page:
I wanted to figure a way to automate this a bit since there is no pre-defined keyboard shortcut for that feature. So I added that under System Preferences/Keyboard/Shorcuts:
It works but I would prefer to be able to activate this more easily by simply selecting text while reading a PDF inside Devonthink. So I created a Popclip extension.
The new Popclip Snippet feature makes it very easy to add a new extension. If you have Popclip loaded just highlight the text below and click when it offers the option Install Extension "Devonthink Quotes"
The result is a Popclip extension called DQ which appears when highlighting text but only appears when doing so within Devonthink 3 and not in other apps.
Same here; Jim, the drop down simply doesn’t appear (this is with the Editing bar in the preview section of the main window). Ah, long-click opens the dropdown.
This looks very useful, but I do not see any place to find ‘Install Extension “DevonthinkQuotes”’. It is not in Popclip. I see no option to install any extension like this at all. Am I looking in the wrong place?
