If you have chosen 'Show Due Soon and Overdue actions' in the Data preferences, then Omnifocus displays the number of 'Due Soon' actions in an orange circle and overdue ones in a red circle in the dock and/or menu bar. Now, if you close the main window, then the notifiers vanishes from both places. The menu bar now shows a folder icon that gives the only option 'Open default document'. The dock icon is now the plain icon with no notifier.

There are two problems that arise with this behavior.

1. I do not see Overdue or 'due soon' notifiers, even when omnifocus is running in the dock. This can potentially lead to the misplaced notion that i have nothing due soon or overdue.

2. When an action's state changes to 'Due Soon' or Overdue, the change is not triggered to growl. The notification is triggered when you next open any OF window, rather than at the correct moment. For example, I have a task due on a certain day at 10:00 AM. My omnifocus application is open (running in dock) since 8:00 AM, however all windows are closed. At 10:00 AM, no event is triggered either in my dock, or menu bar, or growl telling me that my task is overdue. Instead, if i happen to click on the OF icon in the dock at 5:00 PM, thats when my notifications appear. This kind of defeats the purpose of a growl notification.

I have seen certain posts with people mentioning GTD principle is not consistent with using alarms etc. (various posts on OF not having alarms). But in this case, the menu bar/dock/growl notification features have already been implemented. All I ask for is rectification of a bug that I am sure will help many users.
'Reminder alarms' may be a luxury feature to be implemented in the future, but 'Overdue alarms' are certainly important. Kindly fix this omnigroup!!

Thanks.
