I have in one database various folders on my machine which I index via DEVONthink.
One folder (an export from another program) is occasionally completely deleted and then recreated again via exporting from the other program.
When I afterwards click lUodare Indexed Items. nothing happens to the view of the folder in DEVONthink: It still shows the old ecport which was blown away a while ago.
Hhow can I really force reindexing my folder and how can I see this in DEVONthink’s UI?
The way I fixed it is *in DEVONthink I deleted the indexed folder calibre-books from the parent group Dropbox, and added the directory on disk again as Indexed Folder.
(Note the much smaller item count - That corresponds with the directory on the filesystem.)
However I’m worrierd the next time the folder changes DEVONthink again doesn’t pick it up. Can I automate the “delete and re-add” procedure in DEVONthink?
I have same issue you have (plus other nasty issues with duplicates) in one machine from my 3 machines, and the only difference between the 2 that work fine and the one that fails is that: fusion drive AND Parallels.
I still would need to delete the folder first to get rid of the old export and doing this manually is pretty cumbersome if you have a script which can do it for you.
True, but calibre has no way to export automatically only the changed and new books, so I have to export all.
Anyway, I don’t think that’s the problem here: The problem seems to be that a directory which is indexed doesn’t seem to update properly when it is recreated (i.e. briefly deleted and then created again).
