Is there any plan to allow more than one Database to be open in DTP simulatneously? If so, when can we expect this feature?
See my other response - this will be part of v2 (which will be also able to handle much more data).
I get around this issue by running two separate copies of DT on my machine (non-intel iMac G5) and find that this works well. My databases are 500 and 900 Mb in size. The only problem I have is that each copy uses the same sets of defaults and when I launch the second copy of DT it always tries to open the same database that’s already open, so I always have to manually select the second database to open. Would love to be able to have each copy open a separate database automatically but I don’t currently have a way to do this.
Until v2 comes out… how do you move entries from one database to another?
Right now, I’m dragging from DTP to the Desktop, opening a different database, then dragging back in. That just seems… wrong.
As long as you don’t want to split a database, that’s probably the easiest solution at the moment.
Using File > Export > Files and Folders… (option-command-E) will preserve certain DEVONthink metadata associated with exported entries (e.g. URLs, labels) in DEVONtech_storage files. See the Export Files & Folders thread (and others) for more explanation.
Where is this post located?
Also, I’m sure you’ve been asked this so many times (maybe even by me, but it’s been a long week ), but when is version 2 coming out? very soon? Somewhat soon? Before Christmas?
I’m eager for the ability to have multiple databases open at a time…
thanks.

V2 won’t arrive before the end of autumn or winter.
