General import/export advice sought
 
I've bought OmniPlan at home but would ideally like to be able to view (and preferably update) my plans while I'm at work - where all I have is a Linux box and my trusty iPad 1.

(This problem goes away when OmniPlan for iPad becomes available - preview at MacWorld tomorrow I believe).

So far I've experimented with:

- "The Gantt Project" open source planner mpx/xml import
- SG Project (ipad) xml import/export

It seems that xml/mpx formats are not quite as portable as you'd hope (understament).

Has anyone got a solution that's better than a printout and a ballpoint for when they're away from the MotherShip?

"Projects Ad Lib" seems to be the only iPad app I've found that can read exported OP projects.

But it has issues:[LIST]It's not cheap[/LIST][LIST]It's only a viewer[/LIST][LIST]Lack of zoom makes projects with short tasks awkward[/LIST]
On the whole I'd wait for the iPad version of OP or wait for SG Project to cope with OP imports.

For now I'm exporting my OP project to a plain text format in DropBox.
