![]() Once I have a dozen or so subtopics for my main topic, I begin to organize them into a logical outline in OmniOutliner. Then I read through the blog posts of the first 10 results and make notes on what subtopics they’ve included in their articles. I’ve used OmniOutliner to help me plan blog posts for this website and for those of my clients.įirst, I do a Google search for the topic I’m writing about. I consider myself a planner, and as a nonfiction writer, OmniOutliner lets me outline and then effortlessly move around my headings and subheadings to fit into my overall story. ![]() In general, there are two types of writers: pantsers and planners. The images below show the menu and menu option from, you can use the software for almost any project you like. If DEVONthink to Go could do this as well, it would be a big improvement. All the other options remain Copy to… so it would appear that the Documents.app is making a determination that the document is associated with the OmniOutliner.app. ![]() However, a long press on the OmniOutliner document brings up the black menu bar (sorry, I don’t know the correct term for this) and now the Share option in that menu has changed to Open in OmniOutliner. With Documents.app, the standard Share option (invoked by clicking on the box with an up-arrow icon) includes Copy to OmniOutliner, which is also the case with DEVONthink to Go. More importantly, would it be possible for you to look at Readdle’s Documents.app and see what they are doing with OmniOutliner documents? It’s not as elegant as what the Files.app is doing, but it does provide a way to open the document rather than just copying the document using the share extension. The icon is of secondary importance, but DEVONthink to Go is not displaying the icon of OmniOutliner documents for me. ![]() We don’t receive that so the only thing we can do is grab a copy of the icon and handle it all inside DEVONthink To Go. Would it be possible to add this functionality to DEVONthink to Go, where it recognizes the document as an OO document, and clicking on the document opens it in OO, same as how it works using the Files.app?įor example, Omni Outliner provides the document icon to the Files.app via the file provider extension. I would really like to eliminate the need for Files.app to accomplish this. As a result, the best way that I have found to open OO documents in a DEVONthink to Go database is to browse the database with Files.app and open it there. When I click on an OO document in Files.app, it opens the document in OO which works nicely. The iOS Files.app handles things differently, and while it also cannot Quick Look the document, it does recognize it as belonging to OO, even displays the correct document icon. Additionally, DEVONthink does not recognize the OO document as belonging to OO so the user cannot do anything with the document outside of sending it somewhere with the Share extension. Don’t know if that’s an Omni thing or an iOS thing, but that is not important to this request. With DEVONthink to Go, the contents of an OO document cannot be displayed as on iOS OO apparently does not include a Quick Look viewer. As a bit of background information, OmniOutliner documents in a DEVONthink macOS database display the contents of the documents with Quick Look and are also recognized as an OO document, where the Open With command will open the selected document in OO.
