target group for Capture items?

DEVONthink Feedback
#1

When using Capture the new item ends up (inconveniently) at the “home” level.  Most of the time I’d prefer it were in the same group as the original item, which I often delete after the Capture.

Could a preference be added for specifying the target group (including "current group") for Capture?  Thanks.

#2

Version 1.8 stores them in the same group if "Home" is selected (actually the option has been renamed accordingly).

#3

Yep, it’s nicer in 1.8. Could a similar change be made for Convert, too, so RTF(D) documents end up in the same group as the original? Thanks.

#4

That’s actually a bug - will be fixed in v1.8.1.

#5

Any possibility of the print command, "Saving to DEVONthink", having a popup specifying a target group? ???

#6

This is not possible (due to limitations of the scripting facilities of DT PE).

I am very new to DevonAgent and Think, but using DA tonight, I found myself frequently saving search-result web pages to D-Think – but there doesn’t seem to be a way to specify the group that a page is saved to. Am I missing something?

DEVONthink preferences/Notes offers several options, including automatic classification.

But (especially when I’m working with new topics) my preference is to create a group I name “Edit These Items” and specify this group in DT preferences as the destination for new notes. That’s where DA will send them. Then I can go to DEVONthink and move the items into appropriate groups.
