What are the outstanding workflow issues in 1.8? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
OmniFocus 1.8 sneaky peek (77.48.0.131330)

I just noticed that the disclosure triangles on projects in planning mode only appear on mouse-over. Anyone else seeing this behavior, or have I mucked up my styles somehow?

Would it help if you could put your Inbox on hold (like you can do with projects)? It sounds like this would let you retire your "Verify Next Actions Exist" script.

P.S. — You can put your Inbox "on hold" now by using this Deactivate Inbox page. This should work in the OmniFocus 1.8 sneaky peeks as well as the iPhone app—though I should note that it's not yet supported and doesn't have a lot of testing.

I noticed it too, and don't see any way to fix it.
 
If I understand it right, most people seem to support the concept of an additional parent context for group/project headers.. So do I.

But in addition, I think there is an unsolved issue for those who don't want to see headers in context view. Personally, I want to alternate, given the very different nature of my headers...
As I suggested myself in this post, the logic implied using the tick box "Mark complete when completing last item" has been ignored so far in 1.8.x. When this is ticked, it is very counter-intuitive to me that my header is still considered an actionable item. Anybody else agreeing, or am I overlooking something?
I would really like to see the value set in that check box deciding if headers appear in context view or not. Such a feature should not interfere with the above mentioned concept of a parent context, which I would love to have for my actionable headers.

Any thoughts on this?

I haven't had the triangles visible on either projects or action groups except on mouse-over for ages. And I swear years ago (or what feels like years ago!) that they would remain visible as a visual cue. This was particularly helpful for action groups. This mouse-over-only behavior is happening on 1.8, but also it happened on 1.7 and I think 1.6 for me.

So they should remain visible? Has anyone figure out how to make them visible again? It would be quite helpful!

Thanks,
Eric
 
Unless I am misunderstanding the problem description, I am not able to reproduce the issue: Said triangles are always visible on OF 1.8 v77.48 r131389.

I misunderstood the problem description also!

The disclosure triangles in question are the ones to the left of the project title, not those for the contents of the project. I'm still seeing the bug with r131392, now that I know where to look :-)

Sorry about that. I suppose I could have been more descriptive or provided a screenshot.

Anyway, thanks for the confirmation, everybody. I'll send a bug report to the ninjas.

I'll try the Deactivate link and see how it works.
