![]() It is becoming a very essential issue for the social sciences as well, for cultural studies, East Asian Studies-basically for all disciplines. ![]() ![]() But lately KM is not anymore limited to disciplines such as business administration. Knowledge Management (KM) exists as an academic discipline since 1991, includes certain areas of business administration, information systems, and also library and information sciences. ![]() and see what seems really useful and what does possibly just sound 'cool' finally, let's see what knowledge management (KM) programs can do to gather texts, images, and information in general, and how they can serve to share and disseminate our research. show search results in an informative way (ideally showing the text around search terms, allowing one-click accesses to the publication/s and the correct page or pages in the publication/s that were found) search for text (in both English and East Asian languages) within all files simultaneously, quickly and easily, either within all PDFs and other files on your computer or limited to a certain project folder and its sub-folders find files/publications on your computer quickly an easily Goals (I will concentrate on PDFs in this posting): I'm glad that DevonThink continues to be developed as its one of the best serious macOS apps around, but because it has customers who have been using it for years, making changes such as these is a very delicate matter.- you have hundreds or thousands of mostly PDF files (and maybe fewer MS Word and image files), in various languages (English, Korean, etc.) and stored in various folders on your computer's hard drive, with no fast and easy access to the file or files you are looking for, because they are hard to get into a sensible order Much like the Sorter, now you have to deal with too much hierarchy. It's seeming impossible to re-create my favorite view in the app.To fix this, remove the old InBox from the sidebar and add the new one in its place This is a pretty big usability hiccup that could lead you to believe you lost data. If you keep the old version of DT around - and you almost certainly will for a while - be aware that the Finder's InBox sidebar item is not updated.If the Sorter is a big part of your workflow, as it was mine, brace yourself for disappointment. I could go on and on with more faults, but the fact is, this is a rare misstep by the app's designers. It also no longer runs by itself (that is, DevonThink 3 needs to be running) so I don't understand its value. This used to be a very simple and quick way to add things to the database but now it's bloated by features and far too many drop targets. This is particularly true when you create new databases. It's great there is no change to the db format, but there is a big change to where databases are stored by default, so you need to be careful to ensure that you're working with the right file.In no particular order, here are my notes about the upgrading experience so far: I've been using DevonThink for years, and I very much like and rely on it, but the recent v3 update is a big change and presents some challenges.
