Suggestion: Hide inactive contexts. Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
I just downloaded OmniFocus for the iphone and love it. One quick comment: I'd love to hide inactive contexts from my menu. It clutters up my screen and distracts from my goal when I have to scan to see if a context has any available actions or not.
 
Make the view bar visible (click on glasses)
Change the context filter to active.
 
That's for OF on the Mac, not iPhone…
 
Yes, I would totally LOVE to be able to hide inactive contexts on the iPhone!!

There is really no point in scrolling through a ton of contexts containing 0 active items when you're on the go.

I would REALLY like this feature as well. Seeing several empty contexts clutters up the screen - especially the ones under erands

I do not find the "nearby" feature helpful for several reasons so that is not a good workaround for me. Some reasons why I don't use it:

- Too much trouble to set up
- I have errand contexts called "pharmacy", "grocery store" and "hardware store" . 99% of the time it doesn't matter if it is wallgreens or CVS, Home Depot or Ace, etc.
- I like to see all the errands that I could run so I can plan a trip, not just the ones nearby at that moment.
 
Any comment from the Omni guys on when we can expect this? Seems like something that would be fairly easy to implement and would greatly increase the usefulness of the app for a lot of people.
 
I agree that this would be a nice feature, but have you tried the "Nearby" function? For myself, I find that I will ONLY use the OF iPhone app when I am mobile, and thus unable to access the desktop app. When that is the case, pretty much the only things I need to worry about either have a physical location (and thus their contexts should get edited within the iPhone app to have said location geotagged) or are clearly "iPhone accessible" contexts (and thus should be tagged with the tasty new "Always Nearby" button in the 1.0.2 release of the iPhone app).

Just my $0.02...
