releases the final version of its brand-new flagship product DEVONthink<br />
Professional 1.0.</p>
<p>The count-down is over. After more than one and a half years of development<br />
and two public betas, DEVONtechnologies finally presents version 1.0 of<br />
DEVONthink Professional. "This is what we had in mind when we created<br />
DEVONthink three years ago", says Eric Boehnisch-Volkmann, President of<br />
DEVONtechnologies. "It's a full-fledged, professional and extensible<br />
environment for working with information of all kind."</p>
<p>The final release of DEVONthink Professional 1.0 brings, again, many<br />
improvements over the previous public beta. The new Automator support<br />
offers 14 actions and ten sample workflows that demonstrate their<br />
possibilities and using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger's comfortable automation tool<br />
for creating workflows and integrate DEVONthink Professional with other<br />
applications, the Internet or the iPod.</p>
<p>An AppleScript droplet converts AppleWorks 6 documents for DEVONthink<br />
Professional, three new scripts import complete mailboxes from Apple Mail<br />
and Microsoft Entourage and copy e-mails from PowerMail to the database.<br />
The Microsoft Entourage scripts also import only short headers now, and all<br />
scripts have been overhauled for compatibility and performance. Compiled<br />
scripts and Automator workflows can be added to the script menu making it<br />
even easier to extend DEVONthink Professional's functionality.</p>
<p>Also, printing of lists, outlines and sheets has been revised, the<br />
Dashboard widgets have been updated and the AppleScript support and<br />
performance has been improved. The web site export now comes with four<br />
different templates, allows to select the text encoding and converts<br />
umlauts and accents to HTML entities, if desired. With QuickTime 7<br />
installed, DEVONthink Professional 1.0 supports lots of additional<br />
multimedia file types. A new preference automatically inserts smart quotes,<br />
localized for English-, French- and German-style curly quotes.</p>
<p>Finally, the documentation for DEVONthink Professional 1.0 is now complete<br />
and available as both integrated online help (HTML) or downloadable PDFs<br />
optimized for screen reading and printing.</p>
<p>"DEVONthink Professional is a powerful and extremely flexible tool for<br />
everyone working with knowledge in form of documents, multimedia files and<br />
Internet links. It is the information hub that brings everything together<br />
and offers a unique user experience that can only be created on a<br />
Macintosh", describes Eric Boehnisch-Volkmann the broad range of<br />
applications for DEVONthink Professional. "It's the true paperless office<br />
generations of computer users have dreamed of."</p>
<p>DEVONthink Professional 1.0 runs on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (some features<br />
are only available on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger) and is immediately available for<br />
downloading from <a href="http://www.devon-technologies.com" title="www.devon-technologies.com">www.devon-technologies.com</a>. The free trial version allows<br />
150 hours of non-continuous use and must be licensed after the end of the<br />
trial period for US$ 75 (introductory price). An attractive upgrade offer<br />
is available for registered users of DEVONthink Personal.</p>

<p>DEVONTHINK PROFESSIONAL VS. PERSONAL EDITION</p>
<p>Contrary to the home-user-centric DEVONthink Personal, DEVONthink<br />
Professional easily handles multiple databases and so allows users to split<br />
up their information collection into several smaller databases for specific<br />
projects. Databases are simply packages and can be copied, e-mailed and<br />
backed up like any other file or folder.</p>
<p>A new data type are records and sheets which hold table-like data like<br />
reference lists, information collections or any other type of structured<br />
data. Unlike spreadsheets, sheets and records combine the database-oriented<br />
approach of records with a comfortable table-like view for easy entering<br />
and managing structured data. "With the ability to create databases inside<br />
a database, we deliver a feature that many of our users asked for. It has<br />
always been DEVONtechnologies' strength to listen to customer demands, and<br />
this is just one more example.", says Eric Boehnisch-Volkmann.</p>
<p>Professionals require professional tools. Consequently, DEVONthink<br />
Professional comes with a larger AppleScript dictionary than most other Mac<br />
application today, and features currently 14 powerful and flexible<br />
Automator actions. Using scripts and actions, DEVONthink Professional can<br />
be extended in almost every imaginable way, and with folder actions the<br />
integration into custom workflows is just a matter of AppleScript skills.<br />
Special attention has also been paid to triggered scripts than can be<br />
attached to groups or documents in the database. Groups with triggered<br />
scripts can for example collect items containing certain words (like smart<br />
folders in the Finder of Mac OS X Tiger) or automatically connect to an RSS<br />
feed, download all new items and store them as text files. The generated<br />
news articles mark themselves as read when they are viewed, again by using<br />
an attached triggered AppleScript. Eric Boehnisch-Volkmann: "DEVONthink<br />
Professional allows users to create items with real built-in intelligence,<br />
opening new possibilities with unseen flexibility."</p>
<p>Heavy-duty web users will love the new download manager for downloading<br />
complete web sites and storing them for offline editing and browsing in the<br />
database as well as the possibility to save single web pages as Mac OS X<br />
standard "webarchives". Webarchives can even be edited in WYSIWYG directly<br />
in DEVONthink Professional. The built-in Safari-based web browser handles<br />
RSS, RDF, RSD and Atom newsfeeds, effectively making DEVONthink<br />
Professional also a comfortable news reader and aggregator.</p>
<p>On the import/export side, DEVONthink Professional supports more file<br />
formats than the Personal edition and comes with brand-new import/export<br />
plug-ins. In addition to text files, rich texts, Microsoft Word documents,<br />
HTML/XML, webarchives, PDFs and PostScript files, images, movies and MP3s,<br />
DEVONthink Professional exchanges data with OmniOutliner, all OPML<br />
compliant applications, BibTeX, iData 2 and the Mac OS X address book.<br />
AppleScripts further integrate it with e-mail applications such as Apple<br />
Mail, Microsoft Entourage, Barebones Mailsmith Qualcomm Eudora or<br />
PowerMail. The new web site export plug-in lets users publish information<br />
from DEVONthink readily prepared for their homepage, and an iPod export<br />
plug-in converts selected documents for viewing on-the-go. No other<br />
application on the Mac has ever been so open for all kind of standard file<br />
formats.</p>
<p>Other features created with the professional user in mind are the full<br />
screen mode, which allows to write and browse without any interface<br />
clutter, the Mail-like three panes view for easy navigation and two<br />
Dashboard widgets for searching the database and for quickly jotting down<br />
notes in DEVONthink Professional. Finally, DEVONthink Professional has no<br />
restriction on the number of PDFs and images in the database, and it comes<br />
with both a comprehensive tutorial written completely in DEVONthink<br />
Professional itself and a complete documentation as online help and<br />
downloadable PDF.</p>
<p>"For us, DEVONthink Professional is the ultimate tool for everyone who<br />
works with documents, images, notes, bookmarks. It's not only for<br />
scientists and students, it's the paperless office application we have all<br />
waited for" describes Mr. Boehnisch-Volkmann the huge range of possible<br />
uses. "DEVONthink Personal has been one of if not the most flexible<br />
application on the Mac market, and DEVONthink Professional continues this<br />
tradition unbroken in the professional arena."</p>
<p>BACKGROUND: DEVONTHINK</p>
<p>DEVONthink is the "real paperless office" for the Mac. DEVONthink keeps</p>
<p>* text and RTF files,<br />
* scanned documents,<br />
* notes,<br />
* e-mails,<br />
* images,<br />
* chat logs,<br />
* bookmarks and<br />
* multimedia files</p>
<p>together in one simple to use database, integrating both local documents<br />
and live content from the Internet to keep all project-related information<br />
together.</p>
<p>DEVONthink not only stores documents, it facilitates</p>
<p>* editing,<br />
* analyzing,<br />
* organizing,<br />
* finding and<br />
* archiving</p>
<p>documents with its flexible work environment, powerful organization tools<br />
and built-in AI architecture.</p>
<p>Unlike the Finder, DEVONthink provides an integrated work environment with<br />
all the tools one needs for working with information of all kinds, from<br />
simple text to PDFs and multimedia files. DEVONthink intelligently assists<br />
the user with filing documents, finding similar files or searching the<br />
database.</p>
<p>As a real Mac application, DEVONthink is also tightly integrated with the<br />
operating system and its frameworks. It provides a dock menu, and services<br />
menu commands and makes heavy use of the Safari web browser engine and the<br />
advanced PDF library of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Also, it features one of the<br />
largest AppleScript dictionaries of all applications on Mac OS X and comes<br />
with Dashboard widgets for accessing the database from almost everywhere.</p>
<p>USAGE SCENARIOS: DEVONthink is much more than just a document database --<br />
and so there is more than just one way to use it. Here are some of them:</p>
<p>* Create documents with one click, edit them in full screen mode using all<br />
the tools Mac OS X provides and cross-reference them with Wiki-style or<br />
static links.<br />
* Using Mac OS X's handy Services feature, DEVONthink is the #1 tool for<br />
collecting and organizing info bits and snippets on the Mac, and the Dock<br />
menu makes jotting down notes a one-click experience.<br />
* DEVONthink treats URLs like any other document, so the user can use it to<br />
manage bookmarks and integrate web contents and local documents at ease.<br />
* RSS feeds are the future of how we read news on the screen. DEVONthink<br />
Professional can display all common newsfeeds and lets the user clip<br />
important news directly to your database.<br />
* DEVONthink can keep important e-mails and other project-related documents<br />
together or for creating a versatile e-mail archive.<br />
* DEVONthink makes a perfect repository for frequently used images or can<br />
be a convenient interface to a MP3 library.<br />
* With DEVONthink's ability to index files without storing them in the<br />
database, one can also use it for cataloging CD/DVD-ROMs.</p>
<p>EDITIONS: DEVONthink comes in two editions optimized for home/semipro and<br />
professional, heavy-duty use. Here are some of the differences of the<br />
Professional edition compared to DEVONthink Personal:</p>
<p>* Multiple databases<br />
* AppleScript and Automator support<br />
* Sheets and records<br />
* More import/export plug-ins<br />
* Download manager / site sucker<br />
* Full screen mode<br />
* Offline archiving of web sites<br />
* Support for read-only volumes (e.g. documentations on CD-ROM)<br />
* Dashboard widgets</p>
<p>Users who purchase or have purchased DEVONthink Personal until end of<br />
September are entitled to upgrade for just the price difference of US$ 35.</p>
