![]() «event ToySSFLD» theId given «class FLDN»:my bookendsDTURLfield, string:theDTURL I think at best it would consider it an orphaned file (although in which DB, I have no way of knowing). This is precisely why I don’t want Bookends maintaining attachment references to the files. ![]() Once they go in DT, there’s no way of knowing where they’ll be on disk. That’s fine with me, I just don’t want Bookends saying the attachment has gone missing. Doe it import the PDF to Devonthink’s database? I don’t understand what this script does. But, if you import the PDF to Devonthink, won’t BE lose the attachment? I see that the format gives the path to the file. a little experiment: I can import the pdf to Devonthink first then attach it to BE reference. The problem would be if I rename the file from BE, Devonthink misses it. Devonthink doesn’t tolerate any change within its database folder. It can even find the attachment in the trash.īE has no problem if you move the attachment around so far as you don’t rename it. ![]() If renaming can be avoided, it is possible to first put the PDF in Devonthink and then attach it to BE. Then it sets the imported PDF’s URL to the bookends URL so you can one-click to the bookends reference. It also sets a custom field in the bookends so you can easily get to the DEVONthink PDF. No bookends won’t lose the attachment, because importing copies the file instead of moving it.īut personally I want to delete the original file, because I don’t want bookends to have an attachment. I actually am now convinced that putting Devonthink’s index ( Files.noindex->pdf) as the default attachment folder for BE is very possible. But, the process has to follow certain strict steps. It also requires that you have only one BE library. Here are the steps if sb wants to try out: Multiple libraries would make it hard to point the default folder structure towards the Devonthink database/there is still a possibility to use symbolic links for multiple sub-folders of BE library but I didn’t look at it/. first, index the default folder of BE into Devonthink.change the default attachment folder in BE to Files.noindex->pdf.First, make the Files.noindex->pdf as default attachment folder in BE.Fill up your reference information–>Attache the PDF to BE reference without moving the PDF into the default folder (still keeping the PDF in your downloads folder, for instance).You have to say NO when BE asks you to move the attachment. This is the most important part of the steps. Otherwise, the Pdf will be an orphan in Devonthink. Rename the reference in BE (if you have to rename it: this is the time)īookends has some magic.It will automatically find the PDF so far as Devonthink doesn’t rename it and, that they are in the sub-folders of the default attachment folder.Metadata is information that describes or defines other bits of data to make them organized and better accessible to all who view them. It offers a simplification of complex data, both in redefining it and reorganizing it efficiently. It is data about data, in its most basic form. The best way to import metadata depends on the type of system you’re using (both now and in the future) and what types of files you’re looking to create.
