Can Default Start Time be Changed
Hi,
I have set my default due time to be 3:00pm but I see no way to change the default start time. If I set start date of say Oct 20 OF will set the start time to be 12:00am Oct 20. Is there a way to set it to something else , e.g. 8am ? thanks Peter |
Not that Omni has ever disclosed. However, you can fix a bunch of start dates at once by selecting them as a group, then bringing up the inspector to change them.

Thanks. That will help somewhat.

I found a script to replace all start times from 00:00 to what you want (in this example 06:00).
If in this script you replace "Start" by "Due", il also works for due times (help me not to have an alert at midnight!) Hope it will help. Regards, -- Find and replace start dates -- Edit properties below (integers in range 0 - 24 for hours, 0 - 60 for minutes) property pFindHours : 0 property pFindMins : 0 property pReplaceHours : 6 -- Desired start (hours) property pReplaceMins : 0 -- Desired start (mins) on run tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus" tell default document set lstTasks to (flattened tasks where start date is not missing value) set lngChanges to 0 repeat with i from 1 to length of lstTasks set dteStart to start date of item i of lstTasks tell dteStart if (its hours = pFindHours and its minutes = pFindMins) then set {its hours, its minutes} to {pReplaceHours, pReplaceMins} set start date of item i of lstTasks to dteStart set lngChanges to lngChanges + 1 end if end tell end repeat end tell end tell display dialog (lngChanges as string) & " start dates changed from " & PadNum(pFindHours, 2) & ":" & PadNum(pFindMins, 2) & ¬ " to " & PadNum(pReplaceHours, 2) & ":" & PadNum(pReplaceMins, 2) with title "Find & Replace Start Time" end run on PadNum(lngNum, lngDigits) set strNum to lngNum as string set lngGap to (lngDigits - (length of strNum)) repeat while lngGap > 0 set strNum to "0" & strNum set lngGap to lngGap - 1 end repeat strNum end PadNum |
back to question about default start times
I'd suggest that this be a preference option, as it is very frustrating to set start times individually. In general, I am much more focused on start dates and times than on due dates--thanks to some advice I received on this forum--and that works very well for me. Things like Perspectives and default settings tend to be oriented toward due dates; it would be nice to see some start-date-centric stuff where possible.

What in particular have you found to be more due date centric? Aside from the due soon concept, they seem quite similar to me...

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:05 PM. |
