When I come in I copy the database back on the my main computer so I have a backup and so I can run the reports I need for state and federal officials, for our USDA research and my own use.
I frequently load the database onto the kindle handheld, go out to run the sheep through the handling system, give shots, or dewormer or do evaluations and take notes using my program.

The program runs on Android and my development system is another machine. I have a folder for that database, the reports created out of it and my notes and stuff for development.
#AUDIOFINDER IMPORT SOFTWARE#
I am working on a software programming project for managing our sheep flock records that uses an SQLite Database. Now I try to keep my levels to a minimum but there are still cases with 2 levels of folders and that is much more complicated to navigate within DT. So I have to either open the folder first, which makes the scrolling even more painful, or dump files into the top folder and then go into that and sort again, 2 steps and much slower. Moving files or items that have been imported so they are within the DT ecosystem is possible but often requires that I scroll back and forth there is no automatic opening of folders so I can see the content folders like there is in Finder. None of the Hazel stuff works from within DT. In DT since the files are not inside it but are just indexed it’s not simple at all to just update. It’s simple in Finder to drag and drop files from one window to another. I need to look at them in context and that isn t as easy to do in DT since many of the file formats are not supported so I can t see the contents until I open them up outside DT. I also go through my system yearly deleting old items. I may delete old versions of SW downloads from the file cabinet folder when they are replaced by newer versions. The files may come from e-mail, be created by me or come in from government officials for formal comments (we are dealing with BLM and Forest Service issues a lot) I also clean out my downloads folder every week, items that are downloaded may get moved into the file cabinet folder for future use. I use a combination of hot keys and automatic scripts in Hazel to move files into those folders as required.
I have a main top folder in Documents, within that I have a file_cabinet folder for reference, an Active_Projects Folder and then folders for several organizations where I am an officer. I have to index some files… but I want to have the flexibility to rename or move them, without breaking DEVONthink. How do people handle this situation? I want to use DEVONthink for its powerful searching and see also. The consensus seems to be “don’t ever move or rename indexed files”. DT doesn’t do that as far as I can tell.Īnyway, I searched the forum for information on moving indexed files. OS X is relatively smart in that it can track files even once they’ve moved. I’ve always wanted DT to do something like that. When a file’s been moved, it lets me relocate it… and it can do so automatically using the OS file id, as long as the file is on the same hard drive. I use another program called AudioFinder which has a nifty feature. I really like the concept of indexing, and it’s the only way I could load certain file types into my database – basically any folder structure that I use in another program, for example.īut there’s a hangup that keeps me from using indexed files at all… and it’s that when I rename or move a file, DEVONthink loses the reference to it.
