Here you decide which file types DEVONthink Personal imports and how they will be named in the database.


Files

These options define whether DEVONthink Personal imports files of a given type or not when you import folders using File > Import or via drag-and-drop.

  • <type>: Select all the file types DEVONthink Personal shall recognize when importing folders. DEVONthink Personal always imports every file you import manually.
  • Encoding: Choose the default encoding for plain text documents. Select Automatic to let DEVONthink Personal choose the best encoding.
  • Other file types: Check to import files of a type unknown to DEVONthink Personal. QuickLook and Spotlight are used to access and display the contents of the file.


Titles

Select how you want DEVONthink Personal to name imported documents; with file name extensions, without file name extensions, or by using localized display names (for example, on a German system the 'Applications' folder would appear as 'Programme').


New notes

Check Select (and display) automatically to automatically select and display the last note you have taken.


Destination

Choose the default destination in which data coming in from bookmarklets, DEVONagent, news feeds, (external) scripts, and services is stored:

  • Select group: A group selector is shown that lets you choose the destination. The group selector appears as a black panel floating over all other windows. It does not bring DEVONthink Personal to the front. Use it to select the group where you want to file the items and add tags.
  • Global inbox: The data is stored in the global inbox.
