Since @BLUEFROG pointed me into the right direction I have been experimenting with the annotation file feature within DT3 and DTTG lately. I think it’s great that I can link sections of a PDF in the annotation file and add my own thoughts. However, I can’t cope with the different treatment of annotation files within DT3 and DTTG. But maybe it’s me and I have overlooked something.
I have set up DT3 so that the annotations files are stored next to the original rather than in an annotation folder. The standard format for such a file is RTF, which I prefer over markdown. I could create my own template for such files, which I find interesting, but it’s still too early for me at the moment.
DTTG finds annotations files I created with DT3, but saves new annotations files in a separate folder at database level, not side by side to the original. Furthermore such annotation files are markdown format. I couldn’t find appropriate settings in DTTG to change this and also in the documentation I didn’t find anything specific.
So how does the interaction between DTTG and DT3 work with regard to annotation files? I am currently confused by the different storage locations and file formats. And before I go down that road: are templates for annotation files transferred from DT3 to DTTG and are then also available there?
