Hi all !

I know, OF is not a calendar;

But as it is used to manage tasks, it would be nice to be able to change the alarm settings in each task.

OmniFocus has enabled Growl support, so you can install Growl and set the kind of reminders you would like.

For more information, visit http://growl.info/.

Hmm... I'm a bit confused as to "how to set the reminders you like" part. I get warnings when the due-dates hit, and the status of the task changes color... is there a method for setting other options up?

[brianogilvie]

No, but if you set the due date and time for each task when you want a reminder, you can get a reminder. It's not perfect but it works.

well, the idea is to have the possibility to put an hour on each task, like we can do it for the date. and using growl is not really a good idea. If I use such a tool (omnifocus) it is for saving time. and displaying a list of task in a project : i can not set an alarm on each task withouth using ical, which is really a heavy solution.
Really, I think that this function should be implemented in the soft.

I would definitely vote for setting an alarm. Often I will create items in ical, so I can have a reminder. For example, I want an email a week prior to the event or a pop-up reminder the day of the event. Growl works, but it is too limited. I don't want a reminder of everything. I also want to control how and when I would be notified.
