Tip of the day: Smart groups are a good way to view items matching specific criteria, like all the flagged #PDFs in your #DEVONthink database. While it’s easy enough to make a smart group, if you find yourself doing the same search over and over, you can use it to create a smart group in a few clicks. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240102-reuse-search-devonthink-smartgroup

In den letzten Tagen habe ich außerdem etliche Migrationsskripte entwickelt, die eine #DEVONthink -Datenbank nach #TagSpaces migrieren, inkl. Übernahme der Schlagworte, Labels und Custom Metadata. Ein erster Test mit meiner Notizen-Datenbank war erfolgreich. Ich werde mich jetzt von Datenbank zu Datenbank migrieren. Der erste Umzug wird aber meine Fahrradrouten-Datenbank werden, weil die am meisten Spaß machen dürfte, mit den unterschiedlichen Ansichten von TagSpaces 😃. #MacToLinux
