![]() Or, if you don’t like our approach at all and want to go for ‘pure’ tagging, you can even completely exclude all groups in a database from tagging by checking the respective checkbox in the database’s properties ( File > Database Properties) and assign tags manually. In this case exclude only the ‘Sent’ groups from tagging. It becomes hard to decide which one is the one you’re looking for. if you have a ‘Sent’ group inside groups for every year, then you may want DEVONthink and DEVONnote not propose all of them when you type ‘Sent’ into the tag bar. If you don’t like this behavior though, or if you have groups with the very same name appearing in multiple places in your groups hierarchy, e.g. When assigning tags to an item other groups are proposed as tags while you’re typing. If you like this behavior you can quickly file a document in multiple groups and later find them either by their tags or in the respective groups representing the tags. That means that if Exclude Groups from Tagging is unchecked in a database’s properties, the group(s) in which an item is filed also appear as tag(s) attached to it. Hit the Edit link in the upper right corner and turn on the Tag group, for starters. Connecting DevonThink and Obsidian One problem when using multiple apps is interconnectivity. Have them automatically analyzed, connected, and filed. ![]() Collect, organize, edit and annotate documents of any kind. Mostly it's a garbage dump with excellent full-text search, so I trust the DevonThink AI features to find the correct files for me if I need them. DEVONtechnologies DEVONthink, professional document and information management for the Mac and iOS Get Organized Unleash Your Creativity Focus on your work and let DEVONthink remember all the details. Setup some better homepage smart groups in the iOS app. DevonThink has very few structure, I only use a limited amount of tags and groups. This is the only way to search by tag if you don’t want to just browse. I think these issues are related because my shortcut development has been on the iPad mini (I’m traveling) and I think that my recent tag problems with the shortcuts have affected the earlier items from 2019, but only on my iPad mini.DEVONthink and DEVONnote treat groups and tags, basically, the same but display them different. DEVONthink search supports scope filters for tags. So now there are two tagType>tagValue groups - a new one at the top level and the original one inside the tagType group. This is what I see in the tag group in those cases: Whilst DTTG will show you documents with tags matching the tag search term, that will give you an overview of the tags you have used (assuming there arent an. In other words the tag inheritance seems to be failing and a new top level tag is being created. However, that isn’t happening because, when I run the shortcut, some of the tags are created at the top level instead of within the parent tag, even though there is already a child tag with the same name in the parent group. So, the expected result is that the new item will contain a total of 12 tags. I have recently learned that, through tag inheritance, this should automatically add the 6 parent tags if the child tag is already present in the parent tag group, as is the case here. I stumbled upon this when trying to debug a shortcut where I am trying to add the 6 child tags tagType>tagValue to a new item. In the second case the information pane only lists 10 of the 12 tags and represents the other two tags somehow via the two additional locations which are the tag groups with the same name as the missing tags in the tag list. So with that framework, I scanned a receipt back in 2019 on my Mac and processed it in DEVONthink to add the 12 tags that you see in the first screenshot. ![]() The child tag redundantly contains the name of the parent tag and a > so that it can be interpreted as a hierarchical tag in the excellent Ammonite app that is a very useful tool to slice and dice your data based on tags and dates that I rely on for some steps in my processing. In this scenario, all my receipts are in a single group: “Ranch Receipts.” This is relevant for interpreting the info panels in the screenshots below.Ī fully tagged receipt has 6 pairs of nested tags where each pair is of the form: Do not rename them on disk: this will corrupt your note DB. I converted these using the Script - Rename - Rename using RegEx menu. This does not work if a note starts with a hashtag. I have a system that I use for bookkeeping that uses tags to categorize expenses that I feed into a number of home grown tools for report generation and tax preparation. A very handy feature of DEVONthink is the Automatic WikiLinks one that creates linkks to journal pages if you mention them in a note. Before I can ask the question, I need to first provide a framework against which to compare the two results that I am seeing.
