As you know DEVONtechnologies sponsor my segment on The MacReviewCast, so it is good to see the updates that they have been promising for a while:
DEVONthink Pro Office 1.5.1 adds support for version 2.x of the Fujitsu ScanSnap Manager, deletes the original files after they have been successfully imported through OCR, and allows to resize the input panel for PDF meta data. This makes it easier to identify the scanned document on screen. The embedded OCR engine has been updated to the most recent IRIS engine. Both editions of DEVONthink Pro also come with new scripts for importing Adium, iChat, and Second Life chat logs, BluePhoneElite SMS messages and BluePhoneElite call logs. Additional scripts back up the database to the iDisk or JungleDisk and archive flagged news articles from NetNewsWire.
DEVONthink Pro (Office) 1.5.1, DEVONthink Personal 1.9.13, and DEVONnote 1.9.13 all use a revised, future-proof RTF storage mechanism, come with enhanced Spotlight integration as well as overhauled Find and authentication panels. The keyboard shortcut for DEVONthink’s full screen mode has been changed to Command-F8 to avoid a conflict with Spaces on Mac OS X 10.5 ‘Leopard’, the Workspaces scripts of the Pro edition have been updated for better compatibility, and the inline advertisement filter has been improved, too. WikiLinks based on names or aliases are more reliable and so is the encoding handling for imported plain text files. All future versions of DEVONthink and DEVONnote also now download and install updates fully automatically if desired.
Finally, the English, French, German, and Danish localizations as well as many internal functions have been updated and many minor bugs and gliches have been fixed. All applications require Mac OS X 10.4 or later and can be downloaded from www.devon-technologies.com. DEVONthink and DEVONnote can be test-driven for free for 150 hours of non-continuous runtime until they need to be properly licensed.
