Word of caution on deleting groups from the popup menu!

I created a md file in a dropbox indexed folder. Deleted it. Clicked on a random place in the sidebar, selected empty trash. The dialog did not appear and the file went straight into the Finder trash.

This has been the behavior in DEVONthink 3 of deleting files in indexed groups for some time.

  • Moving a file or group in an indexed group in DEVONthink to the Trash leaves the file intact in the Finder.
    Emptying the Trash will remove the file from the Finder and produce only the typical warning about emptying the Trash…

  • Moving an individually indexed file or indexed parent group, i.e., the top level folder you indexed from the Finder, in DEVONthink to the Trash leaves it intact in the Finder.
    Emptying the Trash produces the indexed files warning dialog…
