DEVONthink: stuck at the bottom of the hill

@Robert @omarruvalcaba Here’s something I forgot to add, and could make a difference in regards to the pain-point you raised about not being able to save directly to a folder from the Save Dialogue box.

I generally make a point of converting virtually everything I save into DTPO, as a PDF. Granted, that isn’t always feasible (webpages etc.), but if you do this as well, then see below.

When I call up the Print dialogue, by hitting Cmd+P – under the dropdown arrow at bottom right, when clicking there, you will see further options, as per my screengrab.

One of those gets added, I believe, via the ‘Install Add-ons’ option inside DTPO - I think it’s the PDF Services check-box – and you are then presented with the “Save PDF to Devonthink Pro” button.

Clicking on that, calls up DTPOs floating window, which allows you to specify any Folder within your open DBs, that you want the PDF to be saved to. You can rename the file, and add tags, all inside that Window.

So, along with all the other options listed above, this is a quick way to also get files into specific DTPO folders – especially when you have associated a shortcut command with is, as I have, with Cmd+Opt+P.

Hope that helps!
