Did you know that you can use custom group and document icons in DEVONthink? It works just the Mac way: Copy any image that you want to use as the icon of the item; best suitable are images of a square form with a transparent background. Then select the item in DEVONthink and open the Info panel (Tools > Show Info). Select the item’s icon and paste your graphic. It can’t be any easier, can it? By the way: This works exactly how it also works in the Finder. Custom icons are perfect for making an item stand out.
What are these guys doing all the time, you may think? Just sitting on the balcony, drinking way to much tea, and shooting photos like the one below? W-R-O-N-G! We have been working really hard to bring you new, exciting things!

This saturday, the hard drive of my brave MacBook broke. From one second to the next, no warning, no scrating sounds, nothing. Now, it just makes click-click sounds, and I see the “System Folder Missing” icon. Well, this happens, and my MacBook is already in repair. (mehr)
Lifehacker has posted a tip on how to reduce the amount of caffeine in tea by 80 percent. As we’re really heavy tea drinkers here, I thought I’d share this cool tip with you!
Mercury Software, our Japanese distributor, has just finished the CD boxes for the DEVONthink/DEVONagent bundle. They’re so nice I couldn’t resist to show you. BTW: This boxed bundle is exclusively available in Japan, and you’ll see why when you click the boxshot. (mehr)
Have you ever wondered why “they” drive on the wrong side of the road? Is there any reason for most the E.U. driving on the right side but the UK driving on the left side? And, most important: Could it be us who drive on the wrong side and the other ones are, Heaven forbid!, right? If you need a break, lean back for a moment and read Brian Lucas’ article that I just stumbled about.
We have updated all our DEVONapps, from DEVONthink Professional through DEVONthink Personal and DEVONagent to DEVONnote. The updates bring the latest changes we have made to our DEVONtechnology as well as tons of small user interface improvements, and, of course, fixes for bugs and glitches.
In the last four years people people kept asking if we have t-shirts, caps, mugs, or dog’s wear with our applications icons and our company logo. And as we are a customer-focused company, we try to keep them happy: We have just opened our own fun shop with gifts from textiles to paper notebooks. You can even get DEVONthink and DEVONagent U.S. postage stamps printed. Isn’t it cool?
The text editing engine of Mac OS X comes with a nice hidden feature: a built-in mini outliner that is also available from within DEVONthink. Open a rich text (!) document in a separate window by double-clicking it. On any blank line, type Option-Tab to create a bullet-point. Hit Return for the next item and so on. Additional Option-Tabs will increase the indentation; a Return on a blank list line will decrease it. It uses hyphens to indicate list items by default. Right-click or control-click to choose all kinds of list styles. Isn’t the Mac cool?
