Want to hear what we're working on next? Look for @omnifocus on twitter!
Here are some of the changes in the upcoming 1.5.2 update:
Highlights of OmniFocus 1.5 and 1.5.1:
Note: Before updating, we recommend that you either synchronize your data with MobileMe or a WebDAV server (even if you're not using OmniFocus for Mac), or that you have a current backup of your iPhone data in iTunes. (That way you won't lose any data if your update is accidentally interrupted!)
Here are some of the changes in the upcoming 1.5.2 update:
- Added calendar-based notifications for those who are syncing via MobileMe or WebDAV. (These are time-based rather than push-based, so they'll work when offline and don't require the Mac app.)
- The default due time is now 5pm rather than the beginning of the day.
- Map location editing lets you drop a pin, position it where you want it, then assign it to an existing or new context.
- Added support for dropped folders.
- Fixed a synchronization setup bug where the password prompt could go missing when the sync server responded during a screen transition.
- Action lists will now always display each action's due date, showing the due date of the action's project when appropriate.
- Updated the localizations for German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, and Simplified Chinese.
Highlights of OmniFocus 1.5 and 1.5.1:
- OmniFocus now displays nearby contexts using a map. Touch a pin to see all the tasks in the corresponding context.
- You can Cut, Copy, and Paste entire actions by holding down a checkbox in an action list. You can paste into an empty list by holding the "No Actions" text.
- You can search through all your projects and actions using the new Search screen.
- In Projects and Contexts screens, you can select All Actions to show a grouped list of all actions.
- You can set up repeating actions and projects using the new Repeat screen.
- Action lists now display each action's due date.
- Web links in notes now open inside OmniFocus (rather than launching Safari).
- Added settings for whether the app badge counts overdue actions, due soon actions, both, or neither.
- When selecting a start or due date, you can now tap multiple times on the Day, Week, and Month buttons to increment the date further.
- Copying an action now places its task XML, its title (as text), and its omnifocus: link on the pasteboard. You can now paste a link from one task into the notes of another task, then click on the link to switch over to the linked item.
Note: Before updating, we recommend that you either synchronize your data with MobileMe or a WebDAV server (even if you're not using OmniFocus for Mac), or that you have a current backup of your iPhone data in iTunes. (That way you won't lose any data if your update is accidentally interrupted!)
