I liked it a lot! ABOUT AUTOMATION: I tried using the demo account and created an automante as follows: Name: Google related automation Match: [Gg]oogle Matching Algorithm: Regular expression Destination Folder: Google related I uploaded a PDF (Papermerge DMS — Papermerge documentation.pdf) into the main "Documents" folder. The PDF contains the word "Google". I thought after OCR the document would be moved to the "Google related" folder, but this didn't happened. I waited 10 minutes to be sure. What am I missing? ABOUT UX: Would be useful if after upload the file/folder appear on screen. I didn't get the Inbox folder meaning. I suppose I can send emails with attachments and the attachments would be stored there? ABOUT UI: Should the "Documents" folder appear in a tree-style on the left pane? Maybe collapsed from start? Tags could have it's own section instead laying hierarchically below/inside "Documents". I didn't read the documentation on purpose, to check how easy is to a new user start using it. Thank you!

  1. Automation: you made everything correct. It is intended to work that way - if it failed - it is a bug! 2. Would be useful if after upload the file/folder appear on screen: I agree! I opened an enhancement ticket on GH. I will fix that part in next release. 3. I didn't get the Inbox folder meaning. I suppose I can send emails with attachments and the attachments would be stored there?: Correct! Even more, you can import documents from you local storage and all imports will appear in Inbox. 4. Should the "Documents" folder appear in a tree-style on the left pane? Maybe collapsed from start? Well, in theory yes. In practice it will take some time until UI will look like typical desktop file manager.
