Possible to add multiple actions quickly?
I'm looking at switching to OmniFocus from Appigo's Todo, and am trying to evaluate features.
One feature of Todo that I love is the ability to quickly add multiple items to the inbox by tapping "return" between each one. For example: *tap quick-add* type "Task 1", *tap return* type "Task 2", *tap return* type "Task 3", *tap return* ... From the demo videos for OmniFocus for iPhone/iPad, I can't tell what OmniFocus does. If you tap 'return' when entering a new action, which of the following does it do? 1) save the action and close the form 2) save the action and open a form for a new action 3) enter a newline in the action title |
Welcome to the forums!
The Return key is there when you're editing an action's note (and inserts a new line) but when you're editing an action title, it's replaced with a "Done" button. If I need to enter stuff quickly, I just tap "Save" to dismiss the current item, then tap the Quick Entry button in the toolbar to start entering the next one. Works pretty well for me, but I believe we have a feature request open for something like what you describe. If you email our [EMAIL="omnifocus-iphone@omnigroup.com"]support ninjas[/EMAIL], we can attach you to the request. (Items with more customer interest attached tend to get assigned higher priority.) |
I've said this a number of times before on this forum:
I enter multiple items rather quickly onto my iPhone OmniFocus with a web app I created early last year: [url]http://www.jeffyepstein.com/docs/computer/omnifocus_iphone_mass_import/index.html[/url] It's not ideal, but it's much faster than repeatedly pressing the Quick Entry button. You can paste in a text file where each line is an action, and each action can have an optional note. By fast-app switching from O.F. and the web app, you can really quickly enter in a lot of items. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Please spread the word if you find it useful. I wrote it a long time ago and I'm not sure many people know about it. |
Looks interesting, thanks!
