Tinderbox 7.3.1 is out

Q & A - getting started with Tinderbox

  1. The new Scrivener format will need some significant development support. I try to avoid crystal-ball predictions of when specific features will be finished, but this has the general feel of “February”.

  2. The DEVONthink attributes will be appropriately populated shortly.

Any idea how to add this in for a document where it’s not working? I can get the sync to a folder working on a new document, but I want it in a large and fairly involved document that I’ve been working on for a while…

Should be easy enough; just add a watch folder to your document.

Ok, so this isn’t just something I’m doing wrong? I just set up a note to Watch a DTPO Group and I get the same behavior. That is, I see my beautifully imported DTPO docs, but the URL is empty, while I would expect it to be filled with an item link. Thanks!

Still doesn’t work for me… Added a DevonThink group, but it doesn’t update.

  • Be sure the note with $DevonThinkGroup is at the top level of the document.
  • Be sure you’ve got the correct $DevonThinkGroup id – not the URL

Two stamps that I find helpful with notes imported from watched groups.

Make $URL a clickable link to the DT record:

if($NotesID & !$URL) {
  $URL = "x-devonthink-item://" + $NotesID;
}

Open the note directly in DT:

if($NotesID) {
  runCommand("open x-devonthink-item://" + $NotesID);
}

TB seems to incorrectly set the $NotesID when the imported record is a .eml file (I’ve reported this to info@eastgate.com)
