DEVONthink and DEVONnote: Second Public Beta

Just in time we have released the second public beta of DEVONthink (and DEVONnote). This beta comes with many enhancements, e.g. simple PDF editing abilities (splitting files, merging files, copy/paste for PDF pages), a new RSS preferences panel, and a more responsive web interface that now also displays QuickLook previews if possible. In addition, DEVONthink Pro Office nearly also came with a brand new OCR engine but technical difficulties with embedding the engine properly forced us to delay this feature but we will deliver it as soon as we and ABBYY are able to find the problem. Read more about the update on our news page. (more)

Autum is Here, and Two Updates

The leaves here are turning to yellow, red, and brown. Fall is finally here, my favorite season. I spend more work time in our local coffee shop than in my office just because of the lovely view onto Market Square. Nevertheless, we’re not lazy! Today, we have some long overdue updates for you: EasyFind 4.0 and PhotoStickies 5.6. Not enough, we’ve also made PhotoStickies freeware again! Happy searching and sticking! See our news page for more information on the updates.
