Hi be curious to learn more about the well defined group structure you are using, and was wondering if you may be able to share a bit more details, as I have started a few month back to use Markdown exclusively for any self produced text in DT3 (aiming to make do without external editors) and am trying to figure out the best way of storing the images. (These shortcuts aren’t specific to DT2 I also use them for composing emails.) I also have a similar shortcut for my Markdown documents that grabs the title and URL of the top browser tab and inserts it as a Markdown link into my document. If you’re familiar with Jupyter notebooks, you’ll grok it right away.įinally, to slightly speed up entries from a browser into DT2 Rich Text and notes, I have some Alfred shortcuts that will grab the title and URL of the top browser tab, convert them to RTF, and paste them into my document, or grab selected text on the top web page, strip it of formatting, and paste it as RTF. Incidentally, for techies just coming to Markdown, also check out the Quiver app, which is a great programmer/scientist notebook, allowing you to write a document with cells that can be either Markdown, plain text, code, or a diagram format. I don’t know how long it will remain free, but don’t let the “beta” status scare you off I’ve rarely encountered a bug in well over a year of frequent usage. Typora also has solid MathJax support, so it can handle LaTeX-style math.
I second the recommendation of Typora (I previously used MacDown and similar editors). If the above issuses have not been not worked on, I don’t feel like upgrading soon. I do still use DT2 every day, and I’m generally quite content with it, and I would be willing to pay for an upgrade.īut it looks like I get very little for much money: very restrictive (2 Computers to use it from, third one costs a fortune extra, now DT2 will then be unusable soon, as the licence will be revoked) and 75% of new price for an upgrade… My Question is: has any of this improved in DT3? Probably another “blame it to some third party library” type of thing. You could add x-devonthink:// links, but they are only clickable in preview not in edit … all together very clumsy. The wiki-Links do only work in edit and are gone in preview. No WYSIWYG, you have to switch between Preview or edit.
But unfortunately, Markdown has alsways been treated as a third class resident in DT. And the “source code” ist human readable without any tool, if need be. But sorry, I pay my money for DT which claims it would work it RTF, I don’t see any point in fighting with apple over wether TextEdit is a cool RTF Editor or not.įor my own notes I prefert Markdown anyway, as ist more lightweight. You might say “file a report with Apple”. Opening a File with complicated layout – like one made by Nisus Writer (and I can only guess MS Word as well) – it will just throw away anything it does not understand without a warning. And that is … well … like opening your file with TextEdit. TL DR is that Devon can’t do anything about it as it’s using Apples RTF Library. In 2016 I filed a bug report, about losing data whit RTF Files. I don’t share my personal notes anyway but it’s nonetheless important that the format is not app- or platform-specific. I prefer RTF (not RTFD) - editing is user-friendly and WYSIWYG and it’s fully supported by macOS.
