I think I get the idea, but I was thinking it is for OmniFocus forecast option on MacOS like it is on iPhone.

If you will be able to get a screen shot I would appreciate. Maybe I'm getting it wrong, however I think it will have no use for me.

Thanks

It isn't really like Forecast view on the iPhone. It's just a way of getting a layout on your desktop that contains similar information to the information contained in the forecast view on the iPhone.

It's not an interactive list. It's simply a text list of items starting in the next x days (or due in the next x days). When you make a change in Omnifocus, the next time the script is refreshed, these changes will be reflected on your desktop.

So if you don't keep OF open on your mac all the time, but you'd like to be able to see your task list at a glance by looking at your desktop, these scripts might be worth you while. But if what you really want is something pretty close to the iPhone functionality, this probably isn't what you want.

The "Calendared in the next seven days (by day of week, from iCal)" script appears to assume 10.8 Mountain Lion uses the same sqlite3 table schema as Lion. Apparently it doesn't.

sqlite3 ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar\ Cache
.tables
.scheme ZICSELEMENT

reveals 10.8 has moved rolled back to using 'zlocation'... or at least that's how my Calendar database is after moving from 10.6 > MobileMe > iCloud > 10.8

I've modified the script a bit to add in a check for sw_vers 10.8. It assumes 10.8 and later will retain 'zlocation' as opposed to 'zlocation1'

From line 11:

if [ $OSXVER -eq 7 ]; then
    CALTABLE=zicselement
    REMCODE=24
    LOCN=zlocation1
elif [ $OSXVER -ge 8 ]; then
    CALTABLE=zicselement
    REMCODE=24
    LOCN=zlocation
else
    CALTABLE=zcalendaritem
    REMCODE=9
    LOCN=zlocation
fi

Thanks – that's very helpful – I haven't seen a 10.8 system yet.

Amended above.
