Here is a script for those of us who want to carry around a quick access to our Omnifocus info with our iPod.

Since iCal todo list removes the context information I have written a script that creates notes our your iPod that replicates the projects view and the context view.

Features:

• Export all Projects, folders and all actions
• Export Contexts view that only shows the next action.
• Export the content of the note for each action

You need to update the script with your iPod volume name, connect your iPod and your are good to go!

On your iPod, navigate to Extras->Notes->OmniFocus.

Enjoy and feel free to give feedback!

I tried using this, and I'm getting the "Failed to find iPod" error, even though /Volumes/myPod/Notes exists.

Any hints?

Exactly same problem! Did anyone make it work the right way ?

ipod name: "MISHA'S IPO"

I'm wondering if the apostrophe (') throws things off. I too had problems, and I too have an apostrophe in my iPod's name.

for now i just removed checking code, remove this form script:

	tell application "Finder"
		if not (exists folder "Notes" of POSIX file iPodPath) then
			set dialogButtons to {"OK"}
			set msg to "Failed to find iPod " & iPodVolume & "." & return & "Script will stop."
			set defaultBtn to "OK"
		end if
	end tell

Sorry I didn't reply any sooner. If it is only the checking code, it is safe to remove it. I will look into it tomorrow. My guess is that I have to use the quoted form of the path in the checking code. Something similar to

tell application "Finder"
	if not (exists folder "Notes" of POSIX file (quoted form of iPodPath)) then
		set dialogButtons to {"OK"}
		set msg to "Failed to find iPod " & iPodVolume & "." & return & "Script will stop."
		set defaultBtn to "OK"
	end if
end tell

Anything else bugging you?

This script looks excellent; unfortunately I get the following errormessage:

The script 'ExportToiPod.scpt' could not complete.

AppleScript reported the following error:
OmniFocus got an error: Some parameter wasn't understood.


Any advise/input would be greatly appreciated.
