BASECAMP 3 DROPBOX HOW TO

Apart from the fact that I’m not sure how to automate converting the RSS feed that is part of the Pinboard script into PDFs, I would prefer the PDFs not be held within the DTPro database. I have used the Pinboard import script successfully, but I can’t determine how the script would help me maintain an indexed folder of PDFs outside of DTPro, which is something I would like to have with this new workflow.

pdf files in folder “To be named” that do not begin with UNNAMED_ move to folder “Articles”Īny help with this is much appreciated. Step 4: Move all files beginning w/ UNNAMED_ to folder “To be named”Īs I have time I will go and manually rename the articles based on my naming convention - this cannot be automated. pdf files in “Basket” to UNNAMED_filedate.pdf and append tag “Articles” The following steps will be accomplished with Hazel Step 2: Convert new RSS items to single page PDF a la “Clip to DEVONthink” extension while maintaining Pinboard tags and place them into Dropbox “Basket” folder. Step 1: Monitor RSS feed of new Pinboard items. Here’s a (broken) solution to the problem - the problem steps are in red. The rest I would like to automate as much as possible. What a solution would look like: Ideally, I want to only export from Instapaper to Pinboard, a process that includes tagging, then archive the article in Instapaper. In case something happens and data loss were to. Note- be sure to check the box that says Sync only Basecamp files to ensure that only files are replicated. Then drag Dropbox to the other box and follow the instructions to authorize Dropbox. After I do this I then archive the article on Instapaper and go to DTPro where I rename the article and tag it with the same tags I used for Pinboard. Drag the Basecamp icon to the box on the left and follow the instructions to authorize Basecamp. I do this because, despite paying for Pinboard to archive each article, I want to harness the power of DTPro in my research. The system also allows users to color-code files to make it easier to discover them, and the powerful search functionality means you’ll never lose sight of your files again. Where things get messy: After the article has been exported I then go to the web page of the article and use the “Clip to DEVONthink” extension for Chrome to make a single page PDF that is a record of the article, frozen in time from the time I read it. Basecamp 3 includes a stunning document storage system that helps you to organize all of the files that you need to get the work done. Setting: I currently use Instapaper as my reading “basecamp” and once I have read an article I export it to Pinboard, a process that includes tagging. I am trying to automate a process that I do so often it is beginning to eat up a non-insignificant chunk of time, and I’m having trouble solving the puzzle.
