Thanks for the feedback - that's very helpful.
Ver 007 above should, I think, use the Applescript dialog when Growl is not installed (and avoid the compile-time error message). Let me know if that doesn't seem to fix it.
Processing FT tags, including some form of date – yes, good thought, and that was at the back of my mind as something to do. I may look at my old
TaskPaper parser to see how that handled things. I think it treated the first user-defined tag on the line as the context.
(And yes, a default of suppressing the import of @done lines sounds helpful – thanks)
Postscript - the built-in OmniFocus to TaskPaper exporter is (like my earlier scripts) using these conventions:
test date @flag @mins(15) @start(2012-10-05) @due(2012-10-07 17:00)
So by default I think I'll stick to them for FoldingText export/import.
