Slow type ahead
 

I can't say for sure if this a recent phenomenon or something's that always been true, but I notice that OF is slow to capture my keystrokes. I can out-type the screen so much that it's really annoying. I've tried rebuilding the database and that has improved it a little, but it's still slow when compared to any other text-entry box (like this one I'm typing in). Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I am running on a PB G4 with the PPC chip.

For OmniFocus 1.1, we've made some big performance improvements with respect to text entry in the project and context fields. Is that where you're experiencing the slowness, or are you seeing it in other places?

I guess I wait for 1.1...
 

Ken:
Those are indeed the circumstances where I see the slowness....

I did experienced the same trouble.
... but i didn't try to rebuild my database yet.

(i've a powerbook G4 too).

OK rebuilding database makes the typing speed back to half normal speed.

I'm trough with this problem:

I've bought the Take Control booklet about Leopard fonts.

I've take much time to make libraries of fonts but now i have no more trouble with Office fonts and Leopard fonts, as they were responsable of my ATS problem as i guess.

Indeed, i've rebuild sys and apps font caches with LinotypeExplorerX (free tool).

Rebuilding PRAM may help too.

Cheers.

text input is slow

Same issue here. I'm on a G5, using sneaky peek.

You'll want to [EMAIL="omnifocus@omnigroup.com"]contact the support ninjas[/EMAIL]; to diagnose what's going on here, we'll need to gather some information from your system.

When you email the ninjas, can you let them know if you've used any font suitcasing utilities or deleted any fonts from your system? There are a couple of fonts you really don't want to remove from /System - the OS depends on them being there.

For at least one customer, that turned out to be the cause of the delay; the OS was spending a bunch of time searching the machine for fonts that had been removed.

I'm not sure that's what's causing what you're seeing, but it's one possibility.
