What’s new in version 3.9.4

Updated on Oct 13 2023

This release mainly provides bugfixes for macOS Sonoma. However, we also fixed an important issue with the OCR and imprinting AppleScript commands not working. And we made some refinements to sync, especially concerning iCloud syncs.

Improved
  • The rendering of blockquotes in Markdown more closely matches their appearance in the WYSIWYG source.
  • Markdown metadata now supports YAML tags and keywords in brackets, e.g., [important, to do].
  • Improved navigating back and forth between PDF annotation, selection, and page links.
  • For more consistent behavior, in rich text and Markdown, removing annotations, e.g., highlights, from text via the Document > Annotations inspector now only removes the attribute, not the text. Links in rich text can similarly be removed in the Document > Links inspector.
  • The color scheme of the Sorter's tabs is now more consistent.
Improved (Sync)
  • Improved retry and sync store handling for iCloud (CloudKit) to reduce rate limiting and unnecessary error logging. Also, temporary issues with Apple's servers are better handled.
  • Improved "out of space" error handling with WebDAV sync stores, e.g., CloudMe.
Fixed
  • Modifying the pages of a PDF, e.g., inserting or deleting, could cause pages to display temporarily as white and inhibit saving of edited annotations. Fixed.
  • Renaming indexed items located in cloud-synced folders, e.g., iCloud Drive, could freeze the application on macOS Sonoma. Fixed.
  • DEVONthink could crash on macOS Sonoma if the window's toolbar wasn't set to Icon Only. Fixed.
  • When DEVONthink's group selector opened on macOS Sonoma, you couldn't immediately navigate the groups via the keyboard. Fixed.
  • When the current group of a main window was deleted, e.g., in another main window or in the filesystem, the next valid group wasn't always automatically selected. Fixed.
  • The Data > Move To command didn't move selected items after double-clicking on a group. Fixed.
  • The Tools > Summarize Annotations > As Sheet command and the Document > Annotations inspector didn't use customized PDF page numbers, e.g., Roman numerals. Fixed.
  • On macOS Sonoma, printing PDFs to DEVONthink in Safari's Reader mode didn't retain the page's title. Fixed.
  • With a PDF printed from Safari or page captured via services, e.g., Take Rich Note, the URL wasn't captured on macOS Sonoma. Fixed.
  • Text fields in the criteria editor for smart groups, smart rules, and batch processing displayed incorrectly when switching between light and dark modes. Fixed.
  • Using an empty regular expression with the Scan Name or Scan Text smart rule actions could cause unexpected behavior. Fixed.
Fixed (Pro)
  • On Apple silicon Macs, some PDF/A documents could have an issue with the text layer when doing OCR. Fixed.
  • Large amounts of text in multi-line text fields could display incorrectly in the Form view of sheets. Fixed.
  • OCR or imprinting could fail when called from a script, including folder actions, if DEVONthink wasn't running when the script executed. Fixed.
  • When running in trial mode, the OCR and imprinting AppleScript commands would always return an error. Fixed.

while I wanted to use "Mercedes" of Notes using, organizing and storing application, I better call it a proper and better comparison of my favorite Lincoln Town Car, which I used to own 1985-1994, which was and is The Best Automobile ever, together with Caddilac of that time. DEVONthink is not just an application of sorting and organizing. It's a powerful Engine that nothing comes even close. Even 10 stars is too little for its rating.

I have used this since 1.0 and can say it is the most useful organizer for large amounts of text and PDFs that I have found. I store several thousand 2000+ word articles and I can find anything I want as well as articles that are related that I would not have thought of. Indispensable!

I have been using DevonThink (pro) for a few years now. And I am very satisfied with it. I am now considering moving to version 3 but I continue to find the distinction between the different versions rather confusing! More precisely, I don't like their 'Comparison Edition' page! (on https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink/editions ) Rather than see 'The standard edition offers all features portrayed on the DEVONthink product page except those listed above', I would have preferred a simple presentation of all the main features with 3 columns. 'DEVONthink - DEVONthink Pro - DEVONthink Server' IMHO it would have been much clearer. (btw, stupid question: how is it possible to insert a blank line in a comment with the new interface of post review on MU ???)

I have DEVONnote and it is a brilliant product. Did not feel the need to move to DEVONThink. Nevertheless, I did have in mind to upgrade, which was only to around $25. Now, with retiring DEVONnote and DEVONthink Personal, the developer decided to be greedy, leaving two versions: Pro at $200!!! and Standard at "only" $100 ! Thank you very much, but NO. I'll continue using DEVONnote, and maybe purchasing Yojimbo ($20) if the developer shows that he continues developing it(last update was in 2017) or EagleFiler at $40 which is actively developed. But I have a suggestion to the developer, maybe consider offering DEVONthink Light at $30 to be competitive with EagleFiler and to be more affordable ?

The transition to DEVONThink versions 3.0 is going to be confusing. Therefore, this page was created to assist users: Upgrader's Guide https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink/upgrade "With DEVONthink 3.0 we have cleaned up the editions lineup. We retired DEVONnote and DEVONthink Personal, and rearranged the feature sets of the new editions in a way that we feel makes more sense to more of you...." The resulting versions for 3.0 will be: • DEVONThink Pro --> DEVONThink 3.0 • DEVONThink Office --> DEVONThink Pro 3.0 - OR --> DEVONThink Server 3.0 This page lists the features of both the NEW 3.0 Pro version and Server versions: DEVONthink Editions https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink/editions AND here is the what's New in DEVONthink 3 page: https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink/new

I'm heart broken. Long time user and having to sign off now with the new pricing scheme. Having the server at such a high price is insane for users who have become so accustomed to being able to use the web interface. Fond farewells Devon.
