Thanks so much for clarifying that! (Sorry to take so long to respond.) Just collapsing all the rows, then selecting them using Command-A works perfectly.

*Very* frustrating... I feel my data is trapped. Please don't become a new Microsoft... Omni group, can you do something? Simply exporting a number of tasks from OF to OO. Can't be that hard!? Did I miss something? Please help!

I read the whole thread and it does not work for me (OF 1.9.4, OO 3.10.3, OSX 10.7.2, OF2OO script: Illustrative draft Ver 0.5).
I select a project (named MIMS) in OF then click on the right, select all and click on the icon of the script (see illustration at https://skitch.com/e-vincentkeunen/gwnbc/projects-mims). OO is launched but nothing appears in it. Just a blank outline. I just bought OO just for that... :-/ Did I miss something? Can someone help? Thanks PS1: I replaced "OmniOutliner Professional" by "OmniOutliner" in the script (seems to work since OO is launched) PS2: IMG tags in this forum don't seem to work (there is one above the word "Thanks") Last edited by vincentkeunen; 2011-12-28 at 12:14 PM..

It's pretty rare, in my experience, that one of Rob's scripts doesn't work when correctly installed and invoked, unless I'm the one doing it :-)
I made a sample project: I modified the script to invoke OmniOutliner instead of OO Pro, saved it (as type Script), and added the script to my OF toolbar. I then selected the project by clicking on the top row on the right hand side of the OmniFocus window. Finally, I invoked the OF2OO script by clicking its toolbar button, and got this in OmniOutliner: I opened the note on that first action so you could see that the note field came across as well. Now, both Rob and I use Snow Leopard, and there is a possibility that this is something that is a Lion-only bug. If I encounter a Lion machine where I can install OmniFocus, I'll try it out and report back. By the way, those images come to you via IMG tags. Something like this should work (replace "I MG" with "IMG", I needed to keep the forum software from thinking I had too many images in the post): Code:

Thanks for your quick reply!
1/ do you use all the same versions as I use ? (except Lion) 2/ I retried today and got no luck - and no error !? 3/ about the IMG tag: I used the "Insert image" button in the edit box and this button added the IMG tags. I checked (by doing an Edit of my message) to verify and it does contain IMG, not I MG tags... So I suppose they are right but they don't show correctly !? 4/ thank you for offering to refund - since you have a great support and I still hope to manage that transfer, I won't ask the be reimbursed for the moment! :-) Note: when I launch OF, select the project then click the script, OO does launch but without importing the data. However, when I then quit OO and retry clicking the script, nothing happens (OO does not get launched again). I need to quit OF and relaunch it so that when I click on the script, OO is launched... Maybe a related problem? Scripting on Lion has maybe changed more than we think?

Another wierd thing that might help debug:
I noticed the icon "OFQuickStats" in your screenshots. So I installed it. I also tried to invoke the scripts from the script menu instead of from the toolbar (in case this could be the problem). See https://skitch.com/e-vincentkeunen/gwu8q/systemuiserver When, in the script menu, I select OFQuickStats, I get the stats correctly. See https://skitch.com/e-vincentkeunen/g...stats-ver-2.03 BUT when I click "OF2OO" (while selecting the MIMS project), then the AppleScript editor opens to the OF2OO script, instead of executing it!? Is that an hint?

You could simply run the script from the Script Editor to establish that the functionality isn't broken in Lion and worry about how t invoke it conveniently as a separate matter.

Hi,
Has anyone tried working with this script to output a perspective to OO? My use-case is that I have a perpective that shows which actions I have either delegated to team-mates or need to speak to them about. (Jim or @Jim) As part of my weekly progress, I like to send a listing out of what everyone is doing or will be doing in. I have found the current set of printing or export capabilities inadequate but if I could export a context focussed perspective (containing project, context & action start/ end dates information) to OO, then I could work with that.

Assuming that OF-AQL.scpt has been copied to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus/OF-AQL.scpt
You could then generate an email with a script like: Code:
property pstrTitle : "Active Projects" property pstrQuery : "select folder, name, due date from projects where completed is false and status=active" property pstrPath : "~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus/OF-AQL.scpt" on run set strReport to do shell script "osascript " & pstrPath & space & quoted form of pstrQuery & space & quoted form of pstrTitle tell application id "com.apple.mail" set oMsg to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:pstrTitle & space & (current date), content:strReport, visible:true} activate end tell end run
