Thread: Importing Mess
View Single Post
I backed up my Omnifocus app and all associated files a few weeks ago, and stopped using the program.

Now I've downloaded the latest Omnifocus, and tried to import the old data (which is on an external drive). The old database, titled OmniFocusDatabase2, won't import. I tried switching the file in for the newer empty OmniFocusDatabase2 file on my hard drive, but that didn't work, either.

So I've directed Omnifocus to "revert to database backup" and sent it to the most recent file in my "OmniFocus Backups" file on the external drive.

This did import my data, but for some reason it only has context data...there are no projects.

what a mess! Can anyone help?

Also: is there any way to divide the main window so that there a selected action's notes are automatically viewable/editable in a second frame, below?

Thanks very much!!
