I've been using Devonthink since 2005. My main database is about 10 GB, and contains some 17 million words. It's not terribly exciting to look at, but each time I mistake that blandness for lack of functionality and try to use the Finder instead, I find myself quickly running back to DT Pro Office.
The best thing about the DT-OF relationship is Rob Trew, a poster to these forums who tinkers with Applescripts that link DT and OF exactly as you might hope they would be linked.
- you're in DT, looking at something that needs to be turned into a task. There's a Rob Trew script for that! It makes a task in OF, complete with clickable link back to the item in DT.
- You've finished a project, and you want to file all your OF material into DT along with the other reference material you accumulated around the project. There's a Rob Trew script for that!
- You're in OF, thinking that you really need to nut this job out further. There's a Rob Trew script for that! It creates an OmniOutliner file in a DT folder corresponding to your OmniFocus project.
Scratch around in the "OmniFocus Extras" forum for the scripts. And thank Rob Trew, whoever he (she?) is, if they're useful.
