In my opinion much better than Devonthink. Because it don't stores like Devonthink in a own fileformat. So you can still reveal all your data even without Together running ...

DevonThink doesn't use a special "file format". Just right-click on the DB and choose "Show package contents".

Me too, I prefer Together over DevonThink. It's just a much cleaner design, not as cluttered… Surprisingly it's still quite powerful.

However, regarding the Database, I think DevonThink has the edge over Together: In DevonThink you don't have to import all your files – you can just "index" whatever folder on your HD, and then you have all the possibilities of DevonThink (tagging, search, etc.) without having to copy your files to another place.

Of course, there is an option in Together's preferences just to "link" instead of copying the files when importing. However, this is a bit cumbersome: then you have Together filled with aliases – clumsy that if you change a file's name in Together, it will just change the name of the alias, not the real file's name (which forces you every time you want to mail the file to somebody to do all the renaming, tagging &c. again). In DevonThink, all the files get changed as you would expect.

Latest update fixed the thumb generate crash issue, but I notice every time the app starts up it starts generating thumbs all over again. Thumbs where all generated the last time the app was launched. This causes unnecessary CPU & Memory usage. If thumbs are already generated why force the process each time the app is launched. When working with 2GB plus library's this should be avoided. Takes a long time for the thumb generation process to complete each time the app is launched.

BOOKMARK ISSUE,
I have many bookmarks, now the app will crash anytime it is trying to generate a thumb for sites like (nonamescriptware). Plus over and over again if a url has expired the app will crash while trying to generate a thumbnail. Better for me just to uncheck generate icon for bookmarks.

Sorry about that, I put out an update to 2.5.1 so if you choose Together > Check for Updates you'll get a new version that fixes that issue.

Yes, sorry, I wasn't clear. I know you were talking about 2.5.1, which introduced this problem. I put out a new build of 2.5.1 (Build 2894 as opposed to the original build, 2890) on Aug 3, which you can get through Together's automatic software update or by downloading again from my site.

I've got to echo glinner's comments. Together is a very nicely designed piece of software, updated regular and has a nearly perfect feature set. There are a few issues I could go into but mostly ones of personal preference, not technical.

I would recommend Together for anyone looking for a freeform notes database.

Together is kick-ass and Steve Harris is a design genius.

I fricking love it. You are not tied to a proprietary system.

Get the Mac App Store version for easy updates.

My only complaint is that it's a pain to switch libraries. (you press ⌥⌘ Q and then select the other library from a list). they you have to click switch libraries. There is a bug (i think?) and it doesn't recognise it the first time, as you have to do it twice.

I have used Together since it was called KIT -- indispensable ready-reference for files I am working on. Offers a preview read of everything except my mindmaps (which is asking a bit much!). Word preview is editable for highlighting, etc. Stable. Haven't found a downside. I don't know the dev but I commend him for frequent enhancements.

Hold on Control while dragging to link to files or set it as the default in Import preferences. Together can't link to whole folders, only files.

Talk about a heart breaker! Thank goodness for trial versions... this looked like an absolute go, until I attempted a few searches. The search terms are highlighted in context-- but in grey, which makes it way too easy to miss them. i found myself constantly playing a game of hide-and-go-seek. Went to the forums to investigate, figuring I was just too dense to locate the option to change from grey to, say, yellow. Turns out, this request has been on the boards since 2009. One I saw that, I knew it was hopeless. So, I uninstalled and moved on.

I don't get it. The whole point of these apps is to assist in FINDing stuff later down the line. All that eye candy, yet I consistently caught heck actually trying to pinpoint what I wanted/needed to see. Oh well, the hunt continues.

Not only that but, like so many of these programs, the developers feel no need to put margins around the text so your content is much more difficult to read. Any well-designed application should have ample default margins around text. Apple does it in their own apps so why don't developers do the same???

@bnax I'm hoping to get that into 2.5. I planned to put it in 2.4, but had to drop a lot of things to get Together into the Mac App Store sooner, as I was inundated with pleas for that. You're using a stopgap measure (and that's why it's something you have to enable in Advanced prefs) until I could have a yellow highlight for all the different types of preview Together displays without breaking anything else. Surprisingly difficult.

@cocoanut I have a plan to add default paragraph settings for notes at some point, which you could tailor to your preferences, but Together is identical to Apple apps such as Mail and TextEdit in that respect.

Reinvented... Thanks for saying you're adding margins to the software but I must point out that Mail.app already has very nice margins around the text. If you added margins like Mail.app to Together I'd be very pleased. You're right, TextEdit has no top margin and that's one of the reasons I don't use it.

I have had Together for quite awhile now. I'm always having issues with it. The sync has never worked for me. I'm often notified that the library is in use and could be come corrupted. In the past, it was very slow. However, Together may be faster now, but still it crashes on me. I think that I am done with it.

I think Dropbox would have been a much better choice for syncing. I think I may have to try DevonThink Pro. I should have taken advantage of the previous promo, but I still thought Together was going to work out.

Sigil, if you want DevonThink, head on over to MacAppDeals.com, and run a search on that name. On the hit list, scroll to the bottom. You want the one listed in the "OnGoing" category. Just tried this, and the 25% discount is still live.

I have the Pro Office version, which is nothing short of superb. You can "import" files, or just "index" to keep your folder structure as is in Finder. Kills the need for other apps (tagging, OCR to name two). And you can SEE your search terms!! Widescreen view available too. No connection with dev-- just after trying sooo many, nice to find my bingo.

I hope not. But I've got similar issues the last several weeks.

I've added quite a medium number of small files automatically.
(skim notes for pdf files, close to pure text)
I hope the new version helps.

So far this has crashed on me twice, and i have had to force quit once when it became un-responsive. When i use the "save web page as PDF" It wont give me the option to save the file as the option is grayed out, also closing the tab on the your new import does not prompt you to save.

Version 2.2.1 should have addressed the crashing, which was down to the new auto-tagging feature. I can't identify any crash reports using your MacUpdate name, but I'd be interested to hear from you so I could look into your problems.

On the option being greyed out to save a web page as a PDF, I don't know which option you mean, and as no one else has reported a problem with this, I can't really comment. Get in touch if you need help. Thanks.
