Making connections between documents, including being able to move efficiently between passages, has become increasingly useful. DEVONthink 3.9 brings new deep linking via selection and annotation links for PDF documents. This also includes an extension to DEVONthink's URL scheme and improves document summaries and inserted quotes in annotations.
When doing a toolbar search, you can now exclude subgroups, as needed. For easier sharing, the Share menu is available in the contextual menu of the item list. A new Attachments inspector lists media or other attachments in document types like RTFD. We have moved the Properties inspector in with the Info inspectors, too, and for those using annotations, use the new Insert Summary command in the Annotations popup to add a summary of highlights, etc. to your annotation. Finally, if you're taking Markdown notes in the Sorter, you'll see it now supports WYSIWYG editing. We've also fixed many bugs, and as you've all come to expect, improved performance and reliability.

title
metadata, if available, or the first non-empty line, ideally the headline. - The Markdown option in Preferences > Files > Thumbnails now also applies to TextBundles. Embedded images will also be used in the thumbnail generation.
