It’s not all that bad Paul!
9 years of agricultural research summation is my job. I can handle my dtpo OK. My role is to curate the meta data. The content is for other parties to use. Hence I paid that upgrade for it’s promise.
Dttg1 wasnt that handy. I saw a bunch of beta test reviews of dttg2 praising it. So I bought it, being fairly heavily invested and all.
I’ve been asking more about how folk have been getting work done with dttg2. I’m enjoying it as a collector.
I’m not the only one! It’s a humble and simple opinion only that it’s not wonderfully resolved for curating what can be collected with it.
I was not intending to stir anything up. Asking what it does best is kinda different from asking what it does.
How do you find yourself using It to get the results you’re after?

I only use DTTG2 for small databases, and I only sync over WiFi. Small databases because I see no point in carrying around the gigabytes of data many users reported were “essential”—my main databases are that large but it’s not essential to have them with me. WiFi because cloud sync is painfully slow with DTTG2, even on a fast internet connection.

I think I speak that language!

My intention to use togo2 is to search within PDFs. But I found if I choose not to download all but meta, I cannot search within PDFs. If only for capture, I don’t need it on my Ipad.
Do you know if I can search within PDFs without downloading all?

Can’t search a document that’s not there. The metadata are the bits that show up in the Info panel for a document—if you’re downloading “on demand” then that meta is all there is. If you are on a network and have configured downloads on demand then you should be able to click, download, and then search the file.
