New features of version 2.0 include but are not limited to: the ability to open multiple databases simultaneously (DEVONthink Pro), all advanced Boolean and proximity operators (as known from DEVONagent), wildcards and unlimited complex search terms, smart groups, unlimited undo/redo, an inbox, a trash can, and the support for almost all common file formats. More About Devonthink 2.0 and Devonnote 2.0 The synchronization module is currently in the works, the iPhone client in alpha testing and expected to be released in Q2/2010.
While the iPhone/iPad client will enable users to transfer selected parts of databases to their device, view and search them on-the-go, and add new documents, the synchronization module will make it possible to reliably synchronize databases between local Macs or, using MobileMe or any other WebDAV server, between any Mac with an Internet connection. Internally DEVONthink 2.0 final brings many further improvements including changes for the upcoming iPhone/iPad client as well as MobileMe, WebDAV, and LAN/WLAN based synchronization.
DEVONnote now perfectly complements the more feature-rich DEVONthink product line with an offer for those who don't need the full power of DEVONthink," comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies. "The addition of many functions formerly exclusive to DEVONthink turns the simple note-taking tool DEVONagent into a fully AI-based environment for working with textual information with an unmatched price/performance ratio. DEVONthink Personal comes with new smart templates, too.
DEVONthink and DEVONnote support Mac OS X 10.6's text substitutions and data detectors, now, too.įinally, DEVONnote 2.0 inherits a large number of features from its bigger brothers: templates, external linking to documents with a URL, the panel for quickly taking notes, and some plugins, namely the ability to send items by email, export to iPods (Classic) or as a website, and bookmark import.
The 'Annotation' smart template links to the current page of a PDF document and the 'EndNote' template takes over more data. DEVONthink Pro Office retains the color depth as well as the rotation and resolution of scanned images if desired, news feeds also support enclosures, and the Sorter tab can be made nearly invisible. In addition, DEVONthink Pro's global inbox can (again) be added to the Finder's sidebar as well as all 'save' dialog windows, and the Summarize service is working again the ability to add the inbox to the Finder had been broken by Mac OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'.Ī new script lets the user open tabs from DEVONagent to DEVONthink Pro and new smart templates open Google, Bing, or a manually entered web address in a new tab, enhancing DEVONthink Pro's usefulness as a comfortable web browsing environment. Smart tagging is now part of nearly every aspect of the user interface and is fully supported by smart groups (also known as 'saved searches'). Version 2.0 final completes the tag view which was still preliminary in public beta 8. In most cases this saves the user a trip to our web site," adds Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.
