Hi Dylan,

I'm also using DevonThink Pro (Office) for storing research
information for my thesis.

Jon is right, the DevonThink database is a "normal" OS X package (you
can open it and see its contents with right click and something like
"show package contents").
If QS can make a catalogue of that package, this should be the easiest
way to access the contents quickly (spotlight can also index and find
the single files in the DT database).

A second way would be (but not necessarily the best one, depending on
your workflow):
With DevonThink you can decide if you index or import the external
information.
I have "only" indexed a great part of it (e. g. all the pdf files with
scientific articles), so their original directory structure is
directly accessible in finder, but I can group and comment them in the
DT database.
The disadvantage of this approach: if you create documents within DT
(which I do to write comments or summaries of papers), they only exist
in the database but not in the indexed folders...

 In any case: the Devon Think developers and users are a very active
and responsive "community", so it may also help to have a look in the
forums on devon-technologies.com to see how other people are working
with DT and who uses QS and how.

Martin
