The icon works fine to tell me which file type I have.įor Backup I have selected daily - note: it’s only the backup of the database information, not the files itself!įor Update I have selected on startup. Personally, I have chosen in General (don’t know the original settings): Alternating row colors in views, Display number of items inside groups, Highlight Internet links in views, Mark duplicates and replicants in color (duplicates are blue, replicants are red - very useful!), and colorize icons with label.įor Import I have selected Filename without extension as I do not want the see. The downside is that in some applications they can screw up work, so think before you click.

So, how does my DEVONthink database look so far? □ Coming with a very large collection (and it is a collection that I can import easily), I’m not concerned that I’m already at 25% of the amount of files, it would be akin to saying the apartment you just moved in was too small because with all your stuff from your old apartment there is only little space left. So far, I’m at 50k of 200k files and at 1.2M of 3M words. Opening the database takes about a minute or so, but I only do this once every few days - the rest of the time it stays open - so that’s okay.Īt the moment I think that it’s the best collection I have used so far - and it is very good to dealing with a lot of information/files you put into it.Īccording to the very helpful customer service (thank you :-)), the theoretical maximum number of documents is at about 200.000 and the maximum total number of words at about 300.000.000. While my main database is now at about 29 GB, it still works fine. I am still transferring the information from my Wiki to DEVONthink, so this is a work in progress.
