Hello -
I am getting some odd behaviour from the Things 3 Quick Entry with Autofill when using with Devonthink. I have the same set up (same software) on two Macs, but on one of them I am not getting expected behaviour.
Using:
Devonthink 3 v 3.9.6
Things 3 v3.20.1 (32001500)
MacOs 14.3.1 (23D60)
Test 1:
What I did
- select item in Devonthink Inbox
- invoke quick entry with autofill
What I expected
- quick entry dialog to appear with x-callback URL to item in Devonthink
What happened
- quick entry dialog appears but is empty
Test 2:
What I did
- select item in Devonthink group (i.e. NOT inbox)
- invoke quick entry with autofill
What I expected
- quick entry dialog to appear with x-callback URL to selected item in Devonthink group
What happened
- quick entry dialog appears as expected
Test 3:
What I did
- select item in Devonthink Inbox (again - after performing the above)
- invoke quick entry with autofill
What I expected
- quick entry dialog to appear with x-callback URL to selected item in Devonthink
What happened
- quick entry dialog appears but has x-callback URL to previously selected item in Devonthink from Test 2 NOT the item I am selecting
Test 4:
What I did
- select different item in different Devonthink group (NOT inbox)
- invoke quick entry with autofill
What I expected
- quick entry dialog to appear with x-callback URL to selected item in Devonthink
What happened
- quick entry dialog appears but continues to have the same x-callback URL as in test 2.
Any further use of the quick entry with autofill dialog in Devonthink persists in keeping the same link regardless of item selected until one or both programs are closed.
Using autofill with other applications (e.g. Finder items or Mail) works as expected.
I’m baffled by this behaviour as with my other Mac (MacBook Pro M1) using the same software combination this behaviour is NOT replicated. It’s not clear to me whether this is a Things issue or a DT issue (I have raised a ticket with Culturedcode too). But the fact that this is only happening on one Mac and not the other makes me wonder if there is something else impacting here. Any thoughts or advice would be most welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
