I’m getting a weird behavior while typing in DEVONthink in Markdown files that are indexed. By way of background, I am indexing a folder of markdown files that are stored in Dropbox. I initially had them stored elsewhere, but wanted to run various automation tasks on them via both Shortcuts (iOS) and Keyboard Maestro (macOS), and putting them in Dropbox opened up several possibilities.
The glitches happen while I’m typing, and having words or sentences I just typed suddenly disappear. It almost seems like I’m “getting out ahead” of the sync while I type, and when either Dropbox or DEVONthink syncs, it is syncing my document back to a state from a second or two earlier. Hopefully that makes sense, although it is just a guess. Perhaps there’s something else going on here, and my guess is wrong. I thought perhaps it was some sort of autocorrect glitch, or an issue with Dropbox, but I switched over to typing in BBEdit about an hour ago, and haven’t noticed this in BBEdit, working on the same files. (I prefer typing in DEVONthink for some of the other features, or I’d just switch to BBedit).
I did read the Help section on “Indexing and Sync,” thinking that perhaps I don’t need to sync the documents since they are in Dropbox, but I do use DEVONthink to Go with some frequency.
Any idea if there is a way to stop the glitching?
