There are two different things you might want to index in DEVONthink:
- its Spotlight index
- the files stored in its database
FoxTrot shows one or both of these in the predefined locations, when it finds them.
The spotlight index is optional; if your DEVONthink database is configured to have no Spotlight index, FoxTrot won't find it.
Files stored in the database are normally not indexed, as you are supposed to use the Spotlight index instead. If however you prefer to index them, FoxTrot lets you do so, if the database is stored in the default location, which used to be: {home folder}/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink 3. However in recent DT versions, the default location is now {home folder}/Databases, so it won't be found by current FoxTrot version. In addition, it seems even the previous default location is not correctly indexed by FoxTrot, we will fix that. In the meantime, if you want to index the files in your DT database:
- locate you DT database (either in "Application Support", or in "Databases", or in any custom location you used)
- right-click the .dtBase2 file, and select "show package content"
- drag the "Files.noindex" to FoxTrot's liust of indexed locations
