Starting Over with OmniFocus: Mac + iPhone
 

OmniFocus on my Mac and on my iPhone

I've been away from OmniFocus for awhile and want to start over with a clean slate. However, I need some of the stuff from my OmniFocus 1 to create my OmniFocus 2. How do I simply start a brand new Omnifocus 2 and keep Omnifocus 1 around until I can fully archive it or delete it?

So, for a new start in OmniFocus, you could delete the contents of the Application Support folder associated with OmniFocus. If you'd like, go ahead and [URL="mailto:omnifocus@omnigroup.com"]email[/URL] us ninjas to help!

I'm interested
 

Hi Derekr,
Let me know how to do this. Again, I want to be able to keep my first OmniFocus around to reference as build the new one. I guess you mean that the delete occurs after the 2nd one is good to go?

Sorry for the confusion there, Dr. Glick - instead of deleting the contents of the App Support folder, I'd open it up, rename the "OmniFocus.ofocus" file to "Old-OmniFocus.ofocus", and then move it to to the desktop.

Launch OmniFocus once you've done that and a new empty database will be created for you. Double-click the old file on your desktop and the two will run side-by-side.

Does that help?
