Re: Importing only one BE library to DTO

I just checked what I did and "Open" is also greyed out for me when I try to index the actual folder. You can select all the PDF documents (Command A) in this smart folder and then DT allows you to index them. I index them in a specific DT folder to keep it manageable. I guess what it come...

Each time the programme creates a new empty reference with the PDF I wanted to attach, so I have t...
