The reason is that DEVONthink is not a simple file/folder system, but offers some features that help you very much in sorting your data - most importantly recognizing duplicates (see below) and allowing files with the same name in one place (see below). I strongly recommend sorting the material in DEVONthink. If it gets too large itвЂ™s possible to split the database, although only some versions of DEVONthink support multiple databases. Disadvantage is that it gets large very quickly, but see above, it should work and for me (now) the advantages are greater than the disadvantages. are relevant for private projects and work projects. It also saves space, as some images, videos, documents, etc. The reason for one database is that I think that different topics stimulate each other and if they are grouped (вЂњput into foldersвЂќ), there should be no conflicts. Archived content of finished projects is in a Wiki.

I have put all my material that I still work with, PDF documents of articles, images, videos, etc. Very useful if you want to look up something (e.g., an image while writing something in an rtf file), have found it, and want to go back to the file, then simply click on the left arrow until your rtf file is displayed. It also gives you two arrow buttons which allow you to go through the content you had displayed previously. Personally, I think the вЂњas Three PanesвЂќ works best (for me) - you get the group structure left, the content of each group top right and the content of the selected file bottom right.

The icon works fine to tell me which file type I have.ДЇor Backup I have selected daily - note: itвЂ™s only the backup of the database information, not the files itself!ДЇor Update I have selected on startup. Personally, I have chosen in General (donвЂ™t know the original settings): Alternating row colors in views, Display number of items inside groups, Highlight Internet links in views, Mark duplicates and replicants in color (duplicates are blue, replicants are red - very useful!), and colorize icons with label.ДЇor Import I have selected Filename without extension as I do not want the see.

The downside is that in some applications they can screw up work, so think before you click. The global settings are powerful and often the default settings are not ideal for me, so they are well-worth a look.

The first thing I do with new software is to check the Preferences (application name in menu bar, then Preferences or press cmd + ,). Note: I use the terms вЂњgroupsвЂќ and вЂњfoldersвЂќ interchangeably, because in DEVONthink any folder is actually a group, i.e., all documents in that folder are tagged with the group name and displayed in that group.

So, how does my DEVONthink database look so far? рџ‰ Coming with a very large collection (and it is a collection that I can import easily), IвЂ™m not concerned that IвЂ™m already at 25% of the amount of files, it would be akin to saying the apartment you just moved in was too small because with all your stuff from your old apartment there is only little space left. So far, IвЂ™m at 50k of 200k files and at 1.2M of 3M words. Opening the database takes about a minute or so, but I only do this once every few days - the rest of the time it stays open - so thatвЂ™s okay.ДЄt the moment I think that itвЂ™s the best collection I have used so far - and it is very good to dealing with a lot of information/files you put into it.ДЄccording to the very helpful customer service (thank you :-)), the theoretical maximum number of documents is at about 200.000 and the maximum total number of words at about 300.000.000. While my main database is now at about 29 GB, it still works fine. I am still transferring the information from my Wiki to DEVONthink, so this is a work in progress. IвЂ™m continuing to use DEVONthink (Pro Office version see this posting for a very quick introduction of its strenghts).
