I’ve just spent 40 minutes going through the downloaded documentation for DevonThink trying to find out why sometimes tags appear under the tag group with a tag icon, and why sometimes they do not show up in that group at all, although they are applied to an item. Sure would appreciate it if anyone can tell me how to get all tags I make to show up in the tag group. Otherwise it seems kind of pointless if I can’t see all my tags in a group, and use them to access everything with a particular tag.
Thanks.

Daly, would you mind, if you gave me your email? I’d like to send you an ebook that explains pretty well how things work in DevonThink… Maybe it helps… cicero@gmx.com

Thanks, Tom.
Out of what you referred to me to, I realized that the program automatically creates a tag out of a group name.
So I went back to the program, and saw that tags I had made, which were different from a group name, showed up in the tag list with a tag icon.
Very simple. Yet even what you referred me to required me to draw an inference. I very much appreciate your giving me the reference; it allowed me to find a solution. But the article on tags - there were a great deal of words, most of which didn’t seem all that clear. The resulting discussion on tags sort of confirmed that in a way.
And so that’s my point - if there is a giant program, then all the more important to break information to its simplest pieces.
In the PC world, UltraRecall is famous for wordy descriptions in its help file about what features will do, yet neglecting to specify in a simple way exactly how to use the features.
