Gerben: I think DEVONthink is what you are looking for. The DT search will often find links between relevant documents that a spotlight search cannot. With this kind of sophisticated searching you can see why I want to be able to search my BE database, attachments and my DT database all at once. Intelligent summarize: Creates digests of texts based on the contents of the database Powerful search function: Finds related words, helps broaden or narrow the search Topics: The most important words of a text, automatically extractedįuzzy search: Finds similarly spelled words See selected text: Finds documents similar to a selected test passage Here is an excerpt from the site:Ĭlassify: Files documents into the most appropriate group, automatically Gke- DT searches are much more sophisticated than spotlight. Can it be done though? I would sure love it if it could happen (and you'd probably be the first bib.software to have this feature too!)
Unless someone can think of another way to make this happen, this seems to be the way forward. It is a 'meet in the middle' type of approach. Then it is up to the database programs to sync themselves with the resulting exported file. I am not sure about Filemaker, but I think Yojimbo as well as SOHO notes can import either. This feature would also make BE potentially more usable for other database users. DT already has the ability to keep itself up to date. That way, users could customize their bibtex format to however they wanted it output (I would just want author, title, date, notes, keywords, and abstract) and DT could import the exported. Could you create a feature that made another secondary scheduled backup of the entire database in a format of our choosing? If BE were able to export the database in BiBTeX once a week (or whenever the user chooses) then these compatability issues would be resolved as best they can. BE now makes scheduled backups of our databases. There is still a way forward in this that would benefit your users and that requires nothing of the DT people. They are able to nicely show BiBTeX formatted stuff- which leads me to my next point.
To make DT especially friendly with BE means Sente and Endnote users would come knocking soon. Jon- I am sorry to hear that DT isn't interested, although i can understand a little bit there point of view.
