I appreciate the selectable backup location, but I'd also like to chose where my .ofocus file gets saved, as opposed to always saving in ApplicationSupport. Makes it easier for me to handle my own syncs/backups.

Technically, your .ofocus file can be anywhere, so long as there's a symlink pointing to it in Application Support where OmniFocus is looking for it.

A symbolic link (symlink) in UNIX references a file, usually in a different location. But if you move the referenced file, the link becomes broken. Aliases maintain the link to the new location.

Check out Wikipedia for details.

Thank you.

Can this be handled better directly from OmniFocus? I'm not sure I understand the value of having it in ~/Application Support/, since no one I know thinks to look there for "their" documents. This will prove problematic in Leopard, I think, with Time Machine: I want to go back in time looking for my OmniFocus document, and I would want to do it in the same place I have all my other documents.
