A rough draft of a script which builds on the earlier OF to OPML exporter adding:
If you create a small and simple iThoughtsHD file (.itmz or unzipped .itm), consisting only of a root node and some coloured top-level branches (anything bigger will slow things down) you can give its pathname in the pstrTemplate property in the header of the script, which should then pick up the main formatting settings of the template, and the set of colours used in its top-level branches.
I attach a sample pastel.itm template, and a bright.itmz template (.itmz files are zipped 'map.itm' files).
Anyone prepared to dip cautiously into SQL (unsupported and at their own risk) should be able to customise the set of data exported by adjusting some properties at the head of the script.
For iThoughtsHD exports, the -c or --collapse switch allows you to specify which levels of the diagram (root=1) are collapsed.
The script is attached, with templates, below.
Note: requires OS X 10.7 and above (Python 2.7)
For reference, its header looks like this:
A rough draft of a script which builds on the earlier OF to OPML exporter adding:
- Export to the iThoughts formats .itmz and .itm, and to plain tab-indented .txt, as well as to Markdown and FoldingText .todo mode,
- some scope for customising (filtering) the set of OmniFocus data which is exported,
- some basic options for customising the colors, expansion pattern, etc in iThoughtsHD.
