Suddenly, I can no longer create new documents or tags in DT4.
Everything was working perfectly one minute… then I entered a new Tag in the Info Panel of a document, and upon pressing Enter (which always creates a new tag if it doesn’t already exist), I instead heard an alert sound. I looked in the Globals Tags section of the Navigate panel where all new tags usually appear, but the new tag wasn’t there.
Next I noticed that when trying to create a new Plain Text Document, Rich Text Document, etc. using any method (Data Menu > New > Plain Text…, shortcut keys), a new document WOULD appear for a split second, then the alert would sound and the new document instantly disappears. I noticed that the Name of each new document I attempt to create is keeping a running count (New Plain Text 1, New Plain Text 2, etc.), then when I exit and restart DT, that count resets to 1 again, however, no document is ever created. (See attached video.)
Oddly enough, I can DUPLICATE any document and it does create a new copy. I can also IMPORT new documents, and move them from Inbox to my Research database. All that works fine… I just can’t manually create new documents or tags.
What in the world have I done to cause this?! This same issue now happens with all my databases, so it’s not a problem with just one.
Here’s what I’ve checked:
- I do have Read/Write database permissions
- I have run a Verify & Repair Database (Results were clear)
- I have restarted Devonthink
- I have rebooted my Mac
System info:
- Devonthink 4.0.2
- MacBook Pro M2 Max
- Sequoia 15.6
Any clue what’s going on??
