Can I sync Tasks to iCal? [A:OmniFocus exports due date reminders.]
Hi all,
My Setup: MAC Latest OmniFocus MacMail with Exchange 2010 iCal with Exchange 2010 I would love to be able to get my tasks from OF that has a start, due date or both synced to my iCal calendar. In this way i wouldnt need to add them manualy into iCal. Is this possible? Please someone. All the best / M |
Happy to help! As part of the sync process, OmniFocus can export reminder events for to iCal that represent the due dates on your actions. (Note that exporting is one-way, vs. a two-way sync; OmniFocus does not do the latter.)
If you check the "Publish Due reminders as a calendar" box in Sync Preferences, then press the "Subscribe in iCal" button, deadline reminder events will appear in iCal. I believe there's a feature request open on exporting reminder events for start dates, as well; if that would be useful, email the [EMAIL="omnifocus@omnigroup.com"]support ninjas[/EMAIL] and ask to be attached to that feature request. We're unlikely to export events that span from the start date to the due date, though. Imagine a "Pay Taxes" task that starts in January and is due in April - now think about what that would do to your calendar. :-) |
I am using this feature now but find one big problem: a task group has a due date, the subtasks do not each have a due date, but each subtask appears in iCal--oh the clutter! Seems this sync should only include items to which I have explicitly assigned a due date.
