I have rebuilt the applet, and would be interested to know whether it now runs for those who were having difficulty.

Hello,
I've been tracking this app, and the script worked fairly well for me, but was slow (probably due to the amount of data I have in my iGTD database), and appeared to futz out after a few minutes or so. I was interested to see the author had created a newer more sophisticated version, but it has apparently disappeared from his site...? Anybody know where it has gone, or might have a copy of the applet? Thanks! -ed Last edited by edglazer; 2007-11-25 at 09:16 AM..

The other version has been broken by some Applescript changes - I will try to find time to mend it. Its only advantage is feedback on where the process has got to, which tends to prevent worried users from needlessly aborting after a few minutes. I would suggest planning to leave it alone to cook for a good period of time while you read a book or have a meal :-)

You can turn this behavior off by setting 'will autosave' on the document to 'false'. Once you are done with your bulk import, you should turn it back on. OmniFocus currently won't turn this back on for you, so if you leave it off, the user's document will get marked dirty and no changes will be saved in it until they close it.

Thanks for this script! Works a treat. And now I have (somewhat sadly, but forging bravely ahead nonetheless) officially jumped ship from iGTD to Omnifocus.
In case this is helpful for anyone else: I had to move my iGTD data from an older laptop to a new one that did not have iGTD already installed on it. So I just created the iGTD folder in the Application Support directory on the new laptop and copied the iGTD.sql file there. I ran the script from Script Editor. I didn't see a progress bar but I just waited and eventually it finished. I had 280 tasks (with lots of long notes) in 42 projects in iGTD and it took just about 9 minutes to import it all into Omnifocus. My setup: MacBook 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, OS 10.5.1

Perhaps I will make this change if I resurrect the version with a progress bar.

Thanks, I'll give it another try and be more patient.
And thanks for the work on the script/app - it's well appreciated!
