I can't seem to figure out how to create a perspective that is all projects except those that are on hold.

I want to see active, stalled and pending all at one time in the projects window.

How do I do that?

If you are running OF 1.8, and don't mind a flattened list of your projects (ie don't mind temporarily hiding the folder structure), you could do this with an applescript along the lines of:

tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus"
	tell front document
		set lstNotOnHold to flattened projects where (status is not on hold) and ((effectively hidden of its folder is false) or (its folder is missing value))
		set focus of front document window to lstNotOnHold
	end tell
end tell

And later restore the normal view (and visibility of folders) from the menu system with View > Show All Projects

Well 1.8 isn't out yet as far as I can tell and I do need my folders to be there. A flattened list is not workable for me. Thanks for trying though...

1.8 is available as a sneaky peek: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/om...ad/sneakypeek/

Try grouping by folder after running Rob's script...

and you could use a version of the script which includes that step:

tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus"
	tell front document
		set lstNotOnHold to flattened projects where (status is not on hold) and ((effectively hidden of its folder is false) or (its folder is missing value))
		tell front document window
			set focus to lstNotOnHold
			set selected grouping identifier of content to "folder"
		end tell
	end tell
end tell
