Script that imports iCal Events into OmniFocus actions.
Useful for forecast mode and the satisfaction of checking off events as if they were actions.
Requirements:
iCal Buddy
http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/
Tested in Lion. Still may have some bugs in it. Shouldn't do anything like delete important data. It will delete any action with the text
iCal UID:
in the note field.
Much gratitude and thanks to the following authors, developers, websites:
iCalBuddy: without which this script would not have worked.

Purpose:
This script takes events from the iCal calendars, and enters them as actions into the OmniFocus application.
The script will do the folling actions:
• Create an OmniFocus action with the name of the iCal event as the action name.
• Place the OmniFocus action into a single action project with the prefix: iCal- and add the calendar name. (iCal-Birthdays)
• Assign the OmniFocus action a context with the same name as the single action project
• Set the start date and end date of the OmniFocus action to the event start and end date.
• Add a unique id in the note in the action with the prefix: "iCal UID:" + the iCal event uid + start & end date unique id.
Example: (iCal UID: 7F3952B2-BB97-492A-B501-1013A1E0D4AC:20119160201191886340)
This ID is what allows the script to connect an iCal event with an OmniFocus action. If you mess with this ID it will either be deleted by the script or never deleted.
The script relies on iCalBuddy to be run. You'll need to download it and install it
http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/
Run the install.command file and follow the prompts in the terminal window.
The script only imports iCal events into OmniFocus actions. Changing any of the times on the actions will not do anything to iCal events. If you delete an OF action, and the iCal event is in the calendar,
the script will re-create the action.
Completing an OF action will remain completed. After the current time is beyond the action end time, the script is no longer checking that action.
The script will probably not perform as expected if you have two calendar's that are the same name.
The script will delete any OmniFocus action that has the characters
iCal UID:
in the note field.
After the single action projects and contexts have been created, you can move them wherever you want and they will stay there.
User bears all responsibility for running this script. Enjoy.

• added functionality to use Growl 1.3 notifications
• included helper script which copies the applescript to the users/library/scripts/applications/OmniFocus folder. This allows a user to right click on the toolbar, and add script to the OmniFocus toolbar
---Removed all other versions of the script. And uploaded the newest version to the top of the thread. The attachment below is the latest version.
