How can I share Perspectives with others? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I'm setting up two new OF users. I duplicated an OF file backup of mine, opened it, and then pruned it down to some content and example projects and SALs, Folders, etc. The users will then open the file, copy, and paste into their OF db file.

I was about to start massively deleting Perspectives, then thought that they might not be tied to an OF file. I created a dummy Perspective (with the transfer OF file, not my 'real' file open), quit OF, reopened with my normal database, and came to the conclusion that Perspectives are not tied to an OF file.

Does the following sound like a reasonable approach for being able to share (email) Perspectives?

- With OF quit, duplicate ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus

- Open my transfer/example OF file.

- Modify (mostly delete) Perspectives I don't want to share.

- Email the contents of ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus to the users I wish to share the Perspectives with.

- I replace the modified Metadata ... files with the duplicate I made, returning them to as they were (for my system).

- They drag the OF metadata files into their Metadata... folder.

thanks

Bob
