Multiple OF libraries on the same computer?
 
Let's say I want to hold a seminar on using OF/GTD for my colleagues at work but I don't want them to see all my current projects and tasks. I want to temporarily start fresh in OF. How can I get a clean slate?

I think this thread will answer your question (see posts by Ken and Tim):

The simplest thing to do is likely this:

Quit OmniFocus
open up <your home folder>/Library/Application Support
find the "OmniFocus" folder and rename it to "my real OmniFocus" (or whatever's memorable for you)
Start up OmniFocus and it'll create a new set of default data you can use in the presentation.

After your presentation is over, nuke the OmniFocus folder, change the "my real OmniFocus" folder back to the original name, and you'll be good to go when you restart OmniFocus.

Besides the methods mentioned, you could also create a new user account and run OmniFocus from that account during your demonstration.
