Thanks Greg...I ended up using the set time code as you suggested. I also decided to use 3 iterations of the script: 1 for start dates only, 1 for start/due dates (similar to yours), and 1 for due dates only. I'll use @WaitS, @WaitSD, & @WaitD in Mail Tags to trigger them respectively. Thanks for all the help...Brett

I recently upgraded to the App store version of OF. These scripts aren't working anymore! Is this a sandboxing issue?

Thanks,

Brett

Anybody have any ideas about this?

bpwhistler: It sounds like you may be running into this issue: http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=21496

In short, you probably need to replace something like this:

tell application "OmniFocus"

with something like this:

tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus.macappstore"

[whpalmer4]

A different approach might be to rebuild the launch services database, so that it would no longer associate OmniFocus with the downloaded version, but rather the MAS version. I'm assuming here that a tell application "OmniFocus" block will direct the MAS version if the other has never been installed and launched, but don't have any way to verify it, having no MAS apps where I also have the non-MAS version. Seems crazy to have to edit a bunch of scripts!

I know Onyx and TinkerTool both have commands to rebuild the database. It's just a guess that this will fix the problem, but it might be worth trying before breaking out the editor, if you've got a bunch of scripts you'll have to edit.

Thanks Lizard and whpalmer4. I tried to edit one of my scripts as mentioned by Lizard, but found no occurrences of "com.omnigroup.omnifocus." Here is the script I'm using:

(*
	Waiting For Mails to OmniFocus Script
	by simplicityisbliss.com, Sven Fechner
	MailTags project and due date compatibility added by Scott Morrison, Indev Software
	
	Based on an Outbox Rule (Mail Act-On) in Mail.app this script adds specific messages
	to the OmniFocus Inbox with the waiting for context
	
	MailTags is required to automatically set the project and the due date.

	Mail Act-On (www.indev.ca) is required to define the Outbox Rule to only
	create tasks for those outgoing emails that are to be tracked in OmniFocus
	
	A sample Outbox rule may be
	if MailTags Tickle Date is After 0 days today  
	Run Apple Script: [ThisAppleScript]
	
				
	The script uses Growl from the App Store for feedback notification if it is installed and running

Whpalmer4...not really sure how to proceed as you've suggested. I'll check the programs you've mentioned and see if I can stumble my way through it. :)

Is this TinkerTool or TinkerTool System Release 2?

Thanks

[bpwhistler]

whpalmer...I figured out Onyx. Rebuilt my LaunchServices. Script still not functioning.

[whpalmer4]

Hmm. Okay, my understanding of how the system associates apps might be incorrect. Lizard's suggestion should work, I was just hoping you could do it in a cleaner fashion.

Do you still have the old version of OmniFocus installed anywhere on your system?

By the way, you need to replace things like this:

-- Add waiting for context task to OmniFocus
				tell application "OmniFocus"

with

tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus.macappstore"

There are some scripts that use

tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus"

instead of

tell application "OmniFocus"

but either way, you need to change the tell application blocks to the form suggested by Lizard.

[bpwhistler]

whpalmer4...I was hoping your way would work too!

No old versions of OF on my machine.

Thanks for the 'simplification' of the script change. I'm not good with AppleScript at all, and my attempts at noodling around with it tend to be unsuccessful without some guidance.
