Bug when set repeat v1.8.2
 
I found a bug on this version:
I can not set any action repeat to a no-default value (I can only make it retreat by 1 week), when change the value to like 1 d/m, it will show no repeat
I tried an old version like 1.7.5 and it worked on this very well

OS language is Simple-Chinese
OS version is 10.6.6

I thought many time ago, Omnifocus could be a very good professional tool, today I am quite disappointed, I think it does not worth its price. It is a overpriced software, slow, with bugs and problems like this and others that can be seen in foro. And it lacks some GTD feature, too (energy level for example). I would like to see a shiny Omnifocus 2 version, buy I think it is mainly smoke.

The best way to seek attention is through [B] Help > Send Feedback[/B] on the OmniFocus main menu. The excellent technical staff will certainly be able to help you. It does sound as if some glitch may have arisen in the management of the localisation process, and I can imagine that that must be frustrating.

This forum mainly serves user to user communication, especially at weekends.

In the meanwhile, as a temporary fix while the problem is being sorted out, you may be able to set repetition intervals for selected tasks/projects by running this script and editing the repetition string,

in which[INDENT]Fixed=true : "Repeat every N units"
Fixed=false : "Due again N units after completion"[/INDENT]
and 'unit:' may be followed by any one of:

day | hour | minute | month | week | year

Thanks RobTrew, the attached file works!

Good. I'm glad that this will serve as a stop-gap, until the problem is fixed.

I have added a couple of lines at the end so that the script will list the adjusted tasks/projects, and show their new repetition settings.

Please note this works with due dates [B]only[/B].
You cannot [URL="http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=19277"]advance a start date with a script[/URL].

It may be that the popup in the Inspector does not change when you don't toggle 'fixed', but I didn't try that; doesn't make me feel more confident about my 'trusted system'...
