As I'm no longer mastering the chaos, I'm trying to store all relevant
information (at least which I have on my PowerBook) in DevonNote:
Interesting websites, blogs, forum posts, personal notes, etc.

I've been reading a lot about the powerful AI features of the Devon
apps and I would like to use it also for my dissertation (I'm in the
state of a literature review and starting writing at this time), so it
would be interesting to be able to have all the pdf articles in my
database and use the "classify" or "see also" features of DevonThink.

I want to write my thesis with LaTeX and will use BibTeX (with JabRef)
for the reference management. I read that there are some difficulties
synchronizing BibTeX files with DevonThink.

Can anybody here tell me how (good) that really works?
Currently I've got several BibTex files with far more than 1000
entries and for many of those entries the corresponding pdf files.
Nearly each day I find a paper I've overlooked up to now and add it to
my database and I'm also adding notes to BibTeX entries in JabRef
while reading papers (especially, as I don't have a mac at work but a
PC).
So in fact, my BibTeX files are evolving and devlopping each day and
I've read in several discussions, that DevonThink can not synchronize
the entries in its database with a bibtex file.

Has that been improved during the last updates?
How exactly does DevonThink Pro handle the BibTeX entries and how/
where does it store the information?
(If it would be a plain text file on the hard disk, maybe
synchronizing could be done directly between the .bib and this text
file.)
Does DevonThink also import hyperlinks to local pdf files in the
bibtex field "pdf" (which jabref uses)?

Could there be a way to do the sync via AppleScript?

2nd question: can DevonThink deal with LaTeX markup?
I was thinking about making extended notes about read papers (with
formulas, etc.) in LaTeX or LyX... I suppose DevonThink can not really
read the LaTeX files, but it could import the created pdfs?!

I'm looking forward to your comments
