Color for Group Tags cannot be changed
That doesn’t seem congruent with the fact that Group Tags can have colors (see screenshot). Or am I wrong and should I call this an ordinary tag which is excluded from tagging (I thought those were...

Are the tags created? Yes, so it’s not a functional bug. It’s merely a cosmetic effect, as shown by the fact the tags are shown separately when reselecting the item.

Color for Group Tags cannot be changed
That’s not a group tag. That’s merely a group located in the Tags group of a database. It is only a container and not applied as a tag to anything. These are group tags, one with a custom color...

That’s exactly how I’m using it - as a container without it being applied (useful in my situation, so hopefully it isn’t something that gets removed). As this is possibly my only observation was that...

The tags are created and it’s not a bug, it’s merely a perceived inconsistency from other places in DT where the UI does immediately refresh after creating a tag with slashes which results in two...

Understood but development would have to weigh in on it.

Let’s see what @cgrunenberg has to say On a sidenote: I do appreciate the fact that slashes are possible in tag names though if creating them manually, this gives a great way of integrating DT with...

Locations for tagged items: inconsistencies when (re)creating tags?
I’m trying to understand how nested tagging works in practice; it seems sometimes items show up in two places and sometimes only in one. I’ve got item A tagged with devonthink and devonthink/ai (the...

One thing that’s pretty cool about tags is they don’t all have to serve the same role. I think of them as alternate hierarchies. For instance, planning a book could be aided with tags for chapter 1,...

Hi, I was trying to have custom meta data (boolean) changed if a certain tag exists. I tried to adjust an applescript and managed to have the boolean item changed to true. But it always changes to...
View ArticleWill we have a DT 4 in the near future？
I have found very little I can do in Obsidian I can’t do in Devonthink with greater reliability. Obsidian’s Dataview can be fussy. DT smart groups are not. I wish DT had a native local node map, but...

I doubt that “if exists theTag” does what you think it does. I’d guess that is always true since you defined theTag. Would be weird if it didn’t exist after that. You must check if it is a part of the...

As for Obsidian, I’ve tested both as a standalone App (without DT), and as a companion App (indexing the vault inside DT). I already had tested Obsidian about 2 years ago, but it never clicked. So...

The psycho-social expression affinity or disaffection with software is always fascinating. Especially the energy expended in detailing one’s dislike.

Would a truly iCloud-native storage model ever be possible?
In other words, would it be possible to avoid the current sync system, and just use the app as more of a client, and storing all the files on the cloud instead - like you can optionally do with...

Would a truly iCloud-native storage model ever be possible?
Welcome @tofagerl While who knows what the future may hold, (1) this is not technically feasible nor is it planned, and (2) DEVONthink is not comparable to Photos.app. This is also counter to our...
