Problem with iPad Safari Bookmarklet? [Fixed: remove iPhone app and reboot]
 

I've followed OF's instructions for installing the Safari Bookmarklet but I keep getting an "invalid address" error. Any help? (it hasn't tarnished the luster off my shiny new app!)

The bookmarklet should look like this after the instructions:

[CODE]javascript:window.location='omnifocus:///add?note='+encodeURIComponent(window.location)+'&name='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)[/CODE]

Does yours match up?

OF iPad Safari Bookmarklet
 

Hmm. Yep, exactly. I'll try reinstalling it and see what happens...

Nope. It is still giving me a "Cannot open this page ... Address is Invalid" error.

Same problem here.

I'm recalling a problem with OmniFocus urls if you previously had the iPhone app installed on your iPad. Would you mind uninstalling it if it's still installed and try rebooting to see if that fixes the problem? (I hate asking people to reboot their iPad but it might be the only option to get the OS to realize those should go to a new app).

You may be onto something there as I indeed had OF for iPhone installed until this morning. Rebooting right after this post...

Eureka! The problem was fixed by rebooting after having deleted the iPhone app from my iPad! Thanks Test Pilot!
:)

Problem solved w above solution.

Great to hear!

IPad reboot worked
 

Had the same problem, Apple's obviously as reboot needed, but it fixed it and all is good.
Really loving the iPad app.

Troy. Users are likely to come across this issue frequently. (Many "upgrade" their iPad from OF for iPhone.) I suggest you make your fix more prominent in the forums and add this instruction to your "Add Bookmarklet" instructions in OF for iPad. So until you get if fixed (if you can fix it), don't make users search the forums for this bug.

One of the first things I do with a new app is get my settings in order. It's very disconcerting to have something not work after having purchased a $40 app.

Anyway, food for thought.
