   Thank you for this workflow inspiring episode!

   By the way: Typo in the show notes: “Noteability” should be “Notability”

   BTW, Noteablity is currently on sale for $.99 — a pretty incredible price. I snatched it up and will be checking it out.

   Me head nearly exploded with all the great ideas and workflow tips in this show! A fitting celebration of your 100th episode. Well done guys!

   Love the show and always interested in peoples workflows. But I have a question for… anybody. A lot of pdf’s are downloaded, not scanned. Is there a way to automate the running of a downloaded file though Finereader or something.

   Great show! Congrats David and Katie on Show 100. Katie, you did an excellent job of editing. As I sit here taking notes on my iPad in Notability, I can’t thinking of your guest Jeremy talking about his handwriting. (I suspect it is far superior to mine). I didn’t see a link to him in the show notes – would you add one? I am dying to see what a page out of his Notability notebook looks like.

   This guy Jeremy speaks very well indeed. I bought Noteability right away!

   Not sure if it will help but I use wappwolf.com which automates putting files from my a folder in my finder via a symbolic link folder into Evernote. I use it so that anything I scan from my scanner is automatically added into an evernote notebook and emailed to me.

      Very kind of you Felix and I’ll check out wappwolf.com. Many thanks.

   I was listening to your great episode (100) and one of your guests talked about how he uses Papers. I’ve been a huge Papers follower for a while now. But he mentioned something about a way that his highlights and notes are aggregated into a notes file, thus saving him from having to re-read his highlights. I am scouring the forums and such for how to do this, but thus far no joy. Anyone know? I’ll keep googling and reading and if I find the answer I’ll post it, or tweet it, or paint it on a rock.

   All jest aside, great episode as always.

   Jeremy was asking about a Hazel rule to import his PDF Notability note from Dropbox to Evernote.

   This works fine.

   Have to edit the notebook name and the tags, and then use as an embedded Applescript within Hazel.

      Many thanks Darren – life just got a little bit easier.

    What an interesting show! Excellent job in Show 100… As a Ph.D. student I am always looking for ways to be more productive using my Mac. You definitely need to bring people from academia to share some of their tools and workflows in the educational field. My academic workflow includes: Scrivener, Bookends, Papers2 and MS Word.

    Great show! Enjoyed hearing about the various workflows. Just wanted to mention an alternative to Papers, which is Sente, made by 3rd Street Software. Great Mac and iPad apps for organizing PDFs and generating bibliographies. The syncing between Mac & iPad is better than Papers in that it doesn’t require WiFi and works anytime you have an internet connection. I can read and annotate my PDFs on the iPad and they sync perfectly to the Mac. It is very well supported.

    Also, as a researcher I’m using DevonThink Pro as an electronic lab notebook and it’s great. It handles a variety of file types allows me to organize experiments and data efficiently and effectively.

    Awesome show! Thank you.

    P.S. I would love a follow-up show on Papers.

    Thank you Katie and David. Almost everything I learned in terms of using my Mac was either from you or inspired by you.
