Bulk load/edit
 
I just purchased the OmniFocus iPhone app. I am pleased with the app and excited to use it. The one issue I have is more a result of using he iPhone (or in my case the iPod), and that is that large scale data entry/modification is tedious (and I unfortunately don't have a mac so the full version is not an option).

I'd like to find a way to basically export the data, make some large scale edits/modifications, and then re-import the data. Does anyone know of a tool that could be used for this.

We've got a couple of ideas for better ways we can address this in the future, but the current options for bulk entry are basically:
[LIST=1][*]Borrow a friend's Mac, enter your data into OmniFocus for Mac in trial mode, then syncing it with our [URL="http://www.omnigroup.com/sync"]sync server[/URL], then sync the data over to your phone.[*]Use [URL="http://people.omnigroup.com/dave/link-o-tron.html"]this web form[/URL] one of our support ninjas created to turn each of your actions into a clickable link in an email. Open those emails on the phone, use the link to add them to OmniFocus, then delete the messages.[/LIST]

Or use my web form, which creates one link for every item you paste into it (1-per-line). Just be careful about escaping things properly, and it will save you a lot of time, as it does me.
