I love DTP.. but why is the sorter so fickle.. often it won't open at all.. even if I relaunch it.. why is it that SohoNotes is able to have a sorter-type tool that works perfectly.. and Devon isn't ?!? How illogical is this ?!? I wrote DT a few times about this, to no avail.. Which is really annoying as it makes it mush less intuitive to use.. I need to out things aside all day long.. and SORTER is extremely important to make it less painful..
Please DEVON.. SORT IT OUT !!!!!!!!!
I can't be the only user having issues with it.. no way !!!

I would even go so far as to say that you have no clue at all when it comes to software.

Its solid, stable, easy to use, full of features. That being said, I wouldn't purchase it again. (everyone start screaming at me now)
If you organize your files well within the Finder, you'll be able to do that well within DEVONthink. That's just it, all it really is, is a replacement for the Finder. So where does that leave DEVONthink? For me, it just leaves it right it the middle of the Finder and my files, a middle man, an extra step. So for me, as someone whose happy with the Finder and uses it well, it sadly has no real value and ends up getting in the way, sorry.
If you kinda see where I'm coming from on this, you might want to take a look at Path Finder

Scan documents into a database
Annotate PDF documents
Browse the web
Use artificial intelligence to find related documents
Create and edit RTF files
Import/Export a variety of files and formats (e.g., bookmarks, addresses, OPML, etc.)
I upgraded my copy of PathFinder in 2006, but can't find my original receipt. Anyway, I've also used it for years. It is VERY different and serves a different purpose. That one is closer to a Finder enhancement (but not full replacement).
Using DevonThink as a Finder replacement is like using Excel to write a book. Sure, many things are doable, but it's an inefficient use of the software.

This is what the description says, this is the purpose I purchased it for. IMHO, it fell short of my expectations.

Did you try the demo or watch the tutorials before making your purchase?

You can also visit their forums to get more ideas on how to use the software. Hopefully you'll give it another try. For me, instead of being "a middle man" or "an extra step" it actually simplifies my workflow. For example, I'm working on a project and received a Word document. I did some research and got multiple PDF files, as well as URLs. I also have some notes, images, and other type of media. Although I have everything placed nicely in a folder in the Finder, I created a DevonThink database. Now it's faster and easier to access the information without the need to open multiple applications (e.g., PDF Reader, Web Browser, Image Viewer, Text Editor, etc.) This is probably one of my smallest databases. DevonThink has also helped me find related material when dealing with hundreds of different documents. It would have taken me weeks or months to find those relationships, and with DevonThink it only took a few minutes.
I hope you find this useful.

I contacted DEVONtech twice last November with questions. In both cases a received solutions within 24 hours! I can only state, that their support is great and fast. And kind. Great people. Their discussion board is a good place for help too.

Alas, I can't seem to reinstall DTPros Services, because when I choose "Install Add-ons" from the Help menu, I get the regular dialog box, but when I click "Install" this crashes DTPro beta every single time.
Anyone else have this problem == and anyone else able to get DTPro's Services to be available under Snow Leopard? (I have sent Devon Technologies an e-mail about this.)

They said:
"just disable the option "Global Inbox in Save Dialogs" in the Install Add-ons... panel"
and sure enough, that did it!
(Of course, with Snow Leopard, you may in some instances have to go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts and enable the Service you are wanting to activate -- and change the keyboard command, too, if you want, another way-cool feature of Snow Leopard)
Good luck!

I also hoped DTP would have some tag-based organization, like iTunes, rather than a directory hierarchy (which is broken because there isn't a unique correct hierarchy...)

I'm in process of building an associated database covering chemical analytical methodologies (both US and EU), statistical and other procedures and issues related to the evaluation of environmental data, sampling methodologies, etc. This may likely grow larger than my main database.
Splitting out the very specific methodological material not only keeps my main database speedier, but keeps the AI features and searches in my main database from being diluted by the specifics in the methodologies database. That's important.
As to organizational structure, personally I've never considered my organization hierarchical.
I approach organization as putting 'clusters' of related content into groups, as well as 'clustering' related groups.
Many of my documents are replicated into two or more groups. Likewise, I often replicate a group into two or more 'clusters' of groups. I will use smart groups to replicate documents for a particular purpose, or replicate results of a search into a new group of related items.
I rarely tag individual documents, as I rely on the combination of grouping, searches and the 'See Also' AI feature to identify material in the process of a research project. DT Pro provides other tricks such as Option-click on a term to see other documents that use that term, Command-/ to initiate a search on a text string, and 'See Selected Text' to provide a list of potentially related documents.
In the process of a project I'll often create rich text notes linking to documents of special interest, or 'mark' them temporarily (I usually clear such marks later) using label or state marking.
