OmniFocus won't launch! Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
No, I'm not able to do that, cause OmniFocus crashes before it finishs opening up.
 
Given that it has caused problems in other apps, by chance have you installed the Safari 4 beta recently? If so, what happens if you revert to Safari 3 (the beta installer has an uninstaller to do this)?

It probably isn't related, but just in case...

I'm confused - how does that prevent you from making a fresh user account on your computer and copying the OmniFocus database over?

Ohh. Hm.

Yeah, I'll give this a go. Still, don't want to be switching user accounts all the while just to check OF.

I actually already uninstalled Safari 4 beta, just in case that was it. No change...
 
Optimus, sorry for the confusion here. I checked the status of your problem in our trouble ticket system; it looks like one of the support ninjas asked for any information relating to OmniFocus that appears in your console log a couple days back, and that's the last email that was exchanged.

(If you already sent a response, it was either from a different email address than your forum account is associated with and got assigned to a different ticket in the system, or it failed to reach us for some other reason.)

Can you let us know what other email address to search for, or re-send the console information? Once the support ninjas have that, they can consult with the development team and try to figure out what's going on here.

It's a troubleshooting tactic, to help determine if the problem is a computer-wide issue (for example, OmniFocus app is corrupted somehow) or an issue tied to that specific user (for example, OmniFocus preferences file is corrupted). I agree that having to switch users just to use the app on a regular basis would not be acceptable.

@Optimus: And I don't think anyone seriously suggested running OmniFocus under a different user full-time; that would be a serious PITA. But such a troubleshooting tactic might help determine the cause, or where to start looking for a cause.

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to enjoy using OmniFocus in your regular user account without it crashing, just like the rest of us. :-) I'm quite certain somebody (probably the ninjas) will get to the bottom of this for you. I can't remember the last OmniFocus crashed on my system.

Weird! Here's the message as I sent it (with my email address edited to reduce spammage)

Sorry, Toadling, I originally misunderstood your suggestion.

Just logged in as a different Mac OS user account and started up OF. Loaded up just fine (minus my library etc.)
