Importing Data into Custom Metadata Fields
nigelesque: Any ideas? Are you sure that the files mentioned in the csv exist? You could add log statements to the code to see what the search command is returning.

You’re welcome! Sonoma has been a mess, similar to Sierra. (I am secretly waiting for High Sonoma to be announced - LOL! ) I honestly see no compelling reason to move to Sonoma if it’s not required....

Actually, the way to repair it was just to move everything to a new database; the missing files were not copied. Well, we lost some data there, but

Apple seems to throw a wobbly from time to time so I might sit this one out and see what comes next like you say.

I don’t know the exact thing that happened, but probably the dt database was shared via a cloud service (seafile), and from there deleted from a mobile phone; hence they first ended up in seafile’s...

eMaX: but probably the dt database was shared via a cloud service (seafile) As mentioned many times, you should never put a DEVONthink database in any cloud-synced location or you could irreparably...

Makes sense; OTOH we also use Seafile as webdav storage for synching with DTTG. For smaller amounts - like a database with 50k mails in it - the direct sync DT ↔ DTTG that I just did for a new DTTG...

sangye: How can I get that in AppleSript? Just use the reference URL property of the window/tab as suggested instead of the property of the record.

And lose the text-specific link precision? I don’t think so! I’d rather revert to my interface menu parsing method.
