When, for the love of god, is this happening? You guys have been talking about this for over two years.

We still plan to do it. Adding the feature that will give you the ability to do this is not trivial and affects the entire user base, though. It means changing the file format. It has ramifications for sync. It would also mean localization changes and revising both manuals.

I'll be very happy when it happens!

Okay, got it. When? Like I said, you guys have said you were doing this for literally years.

When it's ready. At earliest, it appears to be a 2.0 feature, and we haven't seen 1.7 yet. To quote Ken, from about a month ago:

This is honestly my most desired feature. There are so many fantastic things I could do with OmniFocus if I had metatags.

Well, another option is to patch the notes applescript functions so that we can add and delete text from notes without losing attachment meta-data. I already have meta-tags working in OminFocus, but if the note has a folder, file, etc. added to it, when Applescript processes the note, I lose the link to the file etc.

If you fix this, we can add meta-data ourselves.

There are two manuals for Omnifocus? Helloooo?

Yes. One for the desktop version, and one for the iPhone/iPod touch version.

Closing this thread (and similar ones in the other OmniFocus forums) in favor of the consolidated thread for this topic.
