Though I’m starting to believe that DEVONthink 2.0 is a myth, I do understand that it will use finder-visible folders for storing external documents (like PDFs). Add an “edit in Mellel” option/button in DEVONthink and I’ll dance around the room in stretchy pants. And if this was all I got, I’d still be happy. If DEVONthink could just read and index Mellel documents in their native format, I’d be happy. Native support in DEVONthink for Mellel documents. And I think it’s a great place to aim for, in an ideal world, for a third or fourth generation integration. I am afraid, however, that your description of the integration will scare the developers off. Please don’t stop until they’ve actually listened. I, too, would spend extra just to get them working together. I agree that integration between Mellel, DTP and BE would be great. Please add your suggestions, critiques, names. If the BE database could somehow retain its groups when viewed in DT, that would be great.If there could be one field in BE that could somehow be edited directly from DT, it is definitely the Notes field.There needs to be an easy way to add wiki-link BE citation to files in the DT database.This would be beneficial to those who first draft and write out things in DT but then want to move it to Mellel. rtf file in DT should be able to be opened via a contextual menu choice in Mellel. (DT can already index the BE attachments folder)Ĩ ) A single shortcut key in Mellel and Bookends should launch a DT search of whatever word the cursor is placed in / or highlighted. The BE database in DT needs to indicate its attachment file(s) so that they will automatically be wiki-linked and quickly accessed within the DT database.DT’s wiki-links need to be enable in the Mellel files as well as the BE files.This also means Mellel documents can be moved around in the database to different folders and are not ‘stuck’ in an indexed folder section. This avoids two copies of Mellel documents- one in the finder one in the DT database. Mellel documents should be able to be saved within the DT database.Double-clicking opens the document in Mellel. Similarily, Mellel documents are fully viewable in DT (like PDF’s are now).If I am looking at a particular BE citation in DT, double-clicking should bring that citation to the front in Bookends.The Bookends Database(s) file should be viewable from in DT, and the ability to “copy citation” from within DT would be great.But searching them simultaneously is a huge priority, especially being able to use DT’s AI. I do not want DT to be able to edit Mellel or Bookends- they do that perfectly fine on their own.So here are my suggestions for an integrated suite of DEVONthink, Mellel, and Bookends. I’m hoping that enough people will add their name that the companies will want to act on this.

If there is still no movement forward, well the owner of Nota Bene said he’d give me a free copy.Īlso, even if you do not have any ideas but nonetheless would like to see this integration, please post indicating which of these 3 programs you currently use, and your full name. And this is my last attempt at trying to make this happen. How would you like to see them integrated? What functionality needs to happen? Hopefully it will jolt the developer’s into action. What I would like to see is not only a vote, but I want posters to imagine that this integration will become a reality. This post is going to be cross-posted in the three forums, along with a poll. To top it off, all of these companies offer excellent support and have very active forums and are easy on the wallet. Its formatting capabilities and aesthetic feel far surpass Endnote and Sente. Bookends is the bibliographic manager to beat. It is a powerful processor for serious academic writers and is only going to get better (unlike Word which has fallen into a hole and doesn’t seem to know it). Mellel has come to be the serious rival to Word, and already surpasses Word in very significant areas. Although there are alot of imitators, no one touches DEVONthink. I believe that these 3 programs are the best in their area. If I had the money, I would pay each of these programmer’s to do this- honestly! But I don’t, and I can only hope that instead the programmer’s will see the potential for making money by working together to form an integrated writer’s suite. I was drooling at the Nota Bene presentation.

There is nothing of comparison for Mac, and I hate being jealous of a PC user.

I recently met Mac users at a conference who are going to run Parallels specifically to use Nota Bene, and I don’t blame them. Mac needs an equivalent to PC’s Nota Bene. We need a powerful integrated package to do our research and writing. This has been a constant discussion that rears its head on the DT forum, the Mellel forum, and Bookends forum, and this is my latest attempt to get these three companies to work together.
