DEVONthink Standard for Mac3.7.2

This maintenance release continues our improvements with Markdown. This includes better performance, improved transclusion, and fixes for an issue with WYSIWYG editing when using non-Latin fonts. We have made some changes to our sync engine to boost the reliability of syncing via Dropbox and iCloud (CloudKit). Also, the Sorter now allows you to clip from Microsoft's Edge browser. And lastly, we've made the requisite performance and stability improvements.

NEW

• The Sorter now supports clipping from Microsoft Edge.

Improved

• Very long URLs are no longer wrapped in the URL section of the Info popover. They are scrollable and truncated as needed.
• The Search inspector now honors the toolbar search options Ignore Diacritics and Fuzzy in case of search results.
• When using the manual option in the Sorter's Web Clip view, the URL field will have focus so you can immediately type the desired URL.
• Taking notes via the Sorter now applies the settings of Preferences > Media > Thumbnails to the new notes.
• Markdown transclusion supports now also images
• Markdown transclusion no longer adds additional line feeds but uses only the content of the transcluded file. In addition, MultiMarkdown metadata is not used in the transclusion, making it easier to transclude complete documents or source code.
• Converting a Markdown document to Markdown via Data > Convert > to Markdown now resolves transclusions, yielding a file with the transcluded contents contained in the resulting file.
• Indexed MultiMarkdown metadata is now case-insensitive, e.g., author: and Author: are now both recognized.
• Revised the WYSIWYG appearance of Markdown blockquotes. The quotes display a light gray background with the text in a smaller italic font.
• Improved performance of Markdown WYSIWYG editing and rendering.
• It is now impossible to create or move items to ordinary tags where it's the only location they exist. This makes sure items always exists also outside the Tags group.
• You can now PDFs or page thumbnail to the end of the thumbnails in the Document > Thumbnails inspector.
• Using View > Zoom to Fit now only downscales images. This also applies to the Image Display option in Preferences > Media > Multimedia.
• When handling replicants in a smart rule, the Move to Trash action will now only trash replicants found in the location targeted by the rule.
• Improved scrolling, especially in longer documents and when navigating search hits.
• Improved indexing of document properties and metadata.

Improved (Server)

• m4v, mpeg, and mpg file extensions are now recognized as valid video formats in the Web interface. The correct kind is also displayed.

Improved (Sync)

• Less frequent polling of iCloud (CloudKit) syncs when used with sync stores set to Automatic; instead relying more on push notifications.
• Increased Dropbox timeout.

Fixed

• Importing items exported either from multiple and/or damaged databases via File > Export > Files and Folders could cause a rare crash. Fixed.
• The first characters of a Markdown document didn't always display with WYSIWYG formatting. Fixed.
• The preview of Markdown documents wasn't updated after modifying transcluded files. Fixed.
• Non-Latin characters, e.g., Asian language characters, weren't displayed in the Markdown source when WYSIWYG editing was enabled in Preferences > Media > Markdown. Fixed.
• Obsidian's transclusion syntax ![[ filename ]] could be detected as a square bracket WikiLink. Also, square bracket WikiLinks would incorrectly display WYSIWYG styling. Fixed.
• Certain internal metadata, e.g., the number of attachments (rich text) or annotations (PDF), was not updated after syncing new or modified documents from DEVONthink To Go. Fixed.
• WYSIWYG formatting in Markdown documents could flicker in dark mode on macOS Big Sur. Fixed.
• Tags entered in the Tags bar were not saved without pressing ↩ twice after switching to another document via the See Also & Classify inspector. Fixed.
• Toolbar search terms specifying a scope which was not the active database didn't always return results. Fixed.
• The list view column widths sometimes didn't display correctly after opening a window. Fixed.
• Opening new tabs in full screen document mode no longer worked. Fixed.
• Go > To Document didn't always work in List view if the chosen document was located in a database's inbox while Unify inboxes and Retain view was enabled in Preferences > General. Fixed.
• Using the Go > Back command after clicking a WikiLink to a PDF page could navigate to the incorrect page. Fixed.
• Changing the toolbar search options while no search was active, activated and displayed the search. Fixed.
• The group selector could display truncated item names when importing files, e.g., via drag-and-drop to the the dock icon, especially on macOS Big Sur. Fixed.
• Issues with Apple's PDFKit framework could affect the results of Tools > Summarize Highlights and the Document > Annotations inspector. Fixed.
• Certain smart date conditions, e.g., Last Month, could also return items that were created exactly at a time of 00:00 on the following day. Fixed.
• Scripts performed in the background, e.g., those executed via smart rules, could potentially crash the application. Fixed.
• Missing German localization in Preferences > Media. Fixed.

Fixed (Pro)

• Importing images from connected cameras, iPhones, or iPads in the Import sidebar didn't retain the creation date. Fixed.
• Trying to modify rich text custom metadata via smart rules or Tools > Batch Process caused an exception. Afterwards e.g. the batch processing sheet couldn't be closed. Fixed.

Fixed (Sync)

• If Dropbox' servers returned incomplete results, it could cause missing manifests, slow down sync store verification, and inhibit changes from being downloaded and applied to the local database. Fixed.
