FWIW I’m thinking of adjusting my DEVONthink / OmniFocus integration scripts so that project notes can be held in DT as FoldingText outlines, as an alternative to OmniOutliner outlines.

As an outliner, I’m finding FoldingText unusually fast and fluid, and its use of plain text files (in the Markdown idiom) is appealing in terms of DEVONthink preview and search, quite apart from anything else. (It also has a very interesting XPath-style query language under the hood). Is anyone else using FoldingText as their primary DEVONthink note editor ?

I’ve written a preliminary (Omni-related) script [http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=26022](http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=26022) which may give a sense of the FoldingText scripting interface, and may also trigger some thoughts about potential DEVONthink integration.
