DEVONthink 2.8.8 improves Tinderbox integration and more - Published on 12/01/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its intelligent information and document manager DEVONthink as well as the smart notebook DEVONnote. No other document management app on the Mac gives its users so much flexibility and control over their data. DEVONthink 2.8.8 improves integration with Eastgate's Tinderbox and makes working with PDFs more comfortable. All editions fix a number of issues, e.g. with OS X El Capitan. The updates are free and recommended for all users.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its intelligent information and document manager DEVONthink as well as the smart notebook DEVONnote. The update of DEVONthink and DEVONnote to version 2.8.8 comes right in time for the Eastgate's release of Tinderbox 6.4. Users can now paste multiple copied notes from Tinderbox to DEVONthink 2.8.8 including tags. They become plain or rich text notes depending on the pasted contents. Backlinks make navigating back and forth between the two applications easy.

DEVONthink 2.8.8 also improves handling of PDF documents. DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office reuse existing groups when importing contacts. Created groups appear immediately in the recent destinations. For bookmarks and clicked links DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office 2.8.8 use downloaded offline archives when there's no internet connection. DEVONthink Pro Office's built-in web server now lets also Firefox display PDFs. This makes it a lot more comfortable to use e.g. from Windows PCs. The update also fixes a number of issues, some of them related to OS X El Capitan. DEVONnote received an update to version 2.8.8, too, with better VoiceOver support and bug fixes.

"Like DEVONthink, Tinderbox is a software for true infoworkers. And our software was always about workflow and interoperability. No wonder many of customers use multiple applications for their work and transfer data from one to the other. This update makes it even easier for those running Tinderbox alongside DEVONthink," comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.

Pricing and Availability:
All editions of DEVONthink as well as DEVONnote require an Intel-based Mac and OS X 10.8.5 or later (in the App Store: OS X 10.9 or later). They can be downloaded from www.devontechnologies.com and be test-driven for free before they need to be properly licensed. DEVONthink Personal and DEVONnote are also available in the App Store; DEVONthink can be purchased in bundles with DEVONagent for an attractive bundle price in DEVONtechnologies' online shop.

* DEVONthink Pro Office: US $149.95
* DEVONthink Pro: US $79.95
