specifiying import location does not work

Hi,

I would like devonthink import new notes into an “inbox” folder. I’ve specified this in preferences-new notes. However, regardless of the folder I specify, the application imports everything as a floating item in the main directory. I’d very much appreciate any help here, as it makes organising files quite messy.

Thank you!

There are variables depending on how you perform captures.

If, for example, you use one of the supplied scripts, the new content will be sent to the top level of your database. Note that the scripts can be modified to send new content to a designated group, or even allow you to choose the group to which the new content will be sent.

If you use File > Import > Files & Folders, the new content will be sent to the group designated in preferences, or to the frontmost active view.
