Hello.

Since updating to 1.9, I noticed that the menu bar no longer has a count for the Inbox items. Since I very rarely use Due dates, I would like to be able to see the inbox count, since we used to have that feature.

Is that gone for good? or can I get it back somehow?

Thanks,
Robin

I see an item count in my menu bar for inbox items.

What version are you on? I used to see it, but now that I am on 1.9, all I see is a little folder, which contains my perspectives. No inbox count.

I'm on:

Here's what my task list looks like:

What RFBriggs is after is the 1.8.2 behavior, I think, where if you had no due soon or overdue actions, you would get a count of Inbox actions in the menu bar instead of the little OmniFocus icon or count that you get now. I haven't found a way to re-enable that behavior, but maybe the support ninjas can get the definitive word from engineering. It seems a bit arbitrary that they took away the Inbox count in favor of a little icon when nothing is due, but give us the count if something is imminent or overdue. That doesn't make much sense if the concern is someone won't know what a number in a gray oval means :-)

The icon + the color-coded count seems like a decent compromise (and indeed, that's exactly what the app putting up a menu right next to the OmniFocus menu on my system does).

Yes, what I'm looking for is the ability to know just by glancing up at the task bar how many items are in my inbox. I don't want to have to click on something to see a number. This functionality used to exist and was taken away. Sometimes that's not a good thing...

whpalmer4, what are you referring to on your menu bar?
