Most of the time I want to sort the items by "available" or "next action". However, when I select a project, it chooses "remaining". when I switch the sort to "available" or "next action", it resets the project focus. SO I have to click on the project again.

This means I can't really use OF 2 for my daily work; I'm basically only using it for my daily checkin and review, and I find this process not so efficient.

Is this a known issue? If not I would like to report it.

Cheers,

I see the problem as if a OmniFocus user upgrades to Maverick, they will not be able to use OmniFocus2 but if they do not upgrade, then can use OmniFocus2. ]]> OmniFocus 2 for Mac (Private Test) garyturner http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=30038 create page curl? http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=30037&goto=newpost Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:08:36 GMT hye, is there an easy way to create a page curl in an omnipage document? thanks hye, is there an easy way to create a page curl in an omnipage document?

(I think that's what MS or someone calls it in their gradient tool). For example right now we have the "Double Linear Blend," which is GREAT, but what if i want disproportionate amounts of the 3 colors? I have only 1 slider, but I need to indicate how quickly each of the 2 transitions should happen.

Say I chose red, white, then blue as my colors. And I want A LOT of red, then just a little white, then A LOT of blue. This is non-linear, so a single slider is insufficient, unless there are multiple handles on the slider.

I'm a pretty heavy OF1 user, and from what I can tell OF2 is a ground-up re-code with (currently) fewer features.

That's fair--but it would be nice to know at this point if we're just testing the stability of the new code base, or whether there are new features and new approaches to productivity and GTD.

Without dedicating a good chunk of time to reading back forum posts here, I can't even answer that question. Maybe a sticky detailing where we are in this beta?

Would help knowing how to approach this as a tester.

I'm planning of releasing them as open source.

Binary decision trees are useful for define object behavior like items, enemies, monsters... while state machines a suitable for scene/level flow modeling.
You may use it with Unity game engine but the script can be edited to export code for other platforms such as xcode.

Let's say I have a project to read a book, whith has chapters as an action list
Book
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3

I want to make some progress with the book and I want to read a chapter per day. I set the project type to sequential as I want to go through the book chapter by chapter. And I want to see just one chapter per day, once I complete chapter 1 today, I would like to see chapter 2 on my list (within context reading) only tomorrow, currently when I check chapter 1, chapter 2 immediately becomes active.
How can I do that without setting a definite day for each chapter? Is it possible?
Thank you in advance

I'd like to have an option for repeating instances to be skipped, and for OF to keep track of percentage complete vs skipped and the length of the the current "string" of completed-not-skipped iterations.

I'm having pretty good luck using OF as my external brain (seriously, it has proved far better than any medication at helping me cope with profound ADD). One thing it does not do is help me build habits. For instance, I'd like to be to enter "gym workout" to repeat weekly on M, W, F. Just starting out, I'm likely not going to get that done 100% of the time. I want to be able to tell OF on Monday, no, I skipped it, on Wednesday, yes, I completed it, and on Friday, yes, I completed it... and then be able to check the Repeats... popup/flyout/whatever and see that I'm getting this one done 67% of my intended schedule, and that I've got a streak of two completions in a row.

Like I say, I'm not sure how this fits with the overarching plan of OF, but it's a feature that would help me, particularly as I try to add good habits to my lifestyle.

Thanks for considering the option, and congratulations on a fine product. ]]> OmniFocus 2 for Mac (Private Test) jeffjewell http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=30016 Tags and bullet points ipad http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=30015&goto=newpost Sat, 15 Jun 2013 21:59:07 GMT I would like to see the ability to Tag tasks.

I am slowly bending my old habits into GTD - I am particularly liking the clarity and piece of mind I am getting through the weekly review and OF helping with this. However, where I am struggling is with OF's lack of planning facilities.

When I go through my review though, I want to schedule all my work into blocks of time in my calendar. This way, I know I have captured "it" and schedule the time to work on "it". Doing so, however, requires me to create these time blocks in the calendar app. Why not do this from within OF? That saves me time pushing the buttons in Calendar. After all, I may have start, due and estimated times set already in OF, which is part of the data I need for putting it in my calendar. Ideally, I want to be able to:
1. Set my estimated time in OF.
2. Set the due date.
3. Drag and drop the task into calendar, thereby setting the actual "work on" time.

Ideally the OF task and calendar event should stay linked so that from one app I can start the other, be right at the appropriate content and make changes if I need to.

Am I so off in the left field with this request/workflow? It seems completely natural to me. ]]> OmniFocus 1 for Mac yohst http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=30008
