Please read the Help > Documentation > In & Out > Importing & Indexing section, especially the Indexing and the filesystem subsection, so you understand the interaction between DEVONthink and the indexed items in the Finder. PS: Indexing is not the default behavior for a reason and it should not be used without forethought. But for those times it may be unavoidable, this should help reconnect things for your database. Files in an indexed Finder folder should have their path resolved to the new location.Īgain, it’s is still a better idea to use indexing with a fairly static location whenever possible.

One of the most useful parts of DEVONthink Pro is it’s concordance and ability to show you potential links between your different documents.For example, you may purchase a new, bigger external hard drive and want to migrate your indexed data there. While it’s best to index data that won’t be moved around a lot, sometimes such a move is required. Here’s how to successfully handle such a move. Moving indexed files can cause them to appear as missing in the database. Indexing allows you to keep your files in their locations in the Finder but still be used in your databases. Generally speaking, a modern machine with 8 GB RAM can easily hold one million unique words and 100,000 items in. The more unique words in the indices, the more memory is required. When you open a database, its index is loaded into memory for faster operations. Importing copies files into your databases. DEVONthink indexes the text of files and stores that in an index for each database. There are two ways to get data into DEVONthink, importing and indexing.
