Shortcuts to Where in OF searches Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
An experimental feature in version .740 of Where in OF which you are very welcome to test.

NB these shortcut scripts currently only work from the script menu, LaunchBar, etc - don't try to run them from the OmniFocus toolbar - on which they seem to cause a freeze ...

If you place a copy of Where in OF (.740 and above) in your OmniFocus scripts folder:
~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus/
You can then create very simple shortcut scripts, which jump straight to frequently-used searches, along the lines of:

Code:
do shell script "osascript ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus/WhereInOF740.app \"tasks where (name contains <txt>) or (note contains <txt>)\""
As such scripts need to use the exact name of the WhereInOF app, it may be sensible to rename a copy of .app file, dropping the version affix, to WhereInOf.app, so that you can write:

Code:
do shell script "osascript ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus/WhereInOF.app \"tasks where (name contains <txt>) or (note contains <txt>)\""
rather than having to modify any shortcut scripts if you download a later version.
tasks where (name contains <txt>) or (note contains <txt>)
is a useful general string search, which will also find strings in project names and notes, and you may want searches which give a more date-based or status-based custom filtering.

Thanks to whpalmer4 for suggesting saved searches which could be fired off by simple scripts.
