I’m a soon-to-be Evernote former user coming to Devinthink to Go in no small part for the excellent clipping capabilities. I’ve not decided yet if I’m going to use DEVONthink Pro as my desktop Evernote replacement, or possibly that plus Obsidian…or OneNote, or Apple Notes, or I suppose Google docs.
A key thing I’d like to do is
- regularly copy or export out items I’ve clipped into DTTG to one of these other apps
- and then tag or move the items within DTTG to indicate they’ve been processed).
There could be a few different ways these items could be transferred — simplest seems to be using Shortcuts to copy (or create) the file to another folder in iCloud. For example, if the destination is Obsidian, that’d be placing a copy of the item/file in the appropriate folder within iCloud Drive’s Obsidian directory.
But I’ve not been successful in actually getting a proper file an item from shortcuts. For instance the shortcut in the screenshot below results in blank text files with the item names being created in the Obisdian folder “Clippings”. The plumbing works, so to speak, haha. But the important part isn’t getting done.
Is there a correct way to accomplish this? Or if not through shortcuts, any other methods?
