When I am in the office I had been mounting my Omnifocus database from my Macbook Air across my N wireless network. To my amazement it has been working flawlessly until this morning. This morning when I tried to open up OF from my iMac in the office, tt crashed and actually took down my Airport! I had to hard reset the Airport. I updated the Airport firm ware, same result. Tried again, same result. (not sure why I tried it again, just dense I guess)

It took me a while to decide that it was an OF issue and not a Airport issue and while I am not 100% sure I think it was. I had decided that I was going to have to resort to thumb drives.... Then for one last idea I tried to do a rebuild from within OF. That I am pleased to say seemed to have solved the problem plus now mount the database across the network is significantly faster.

My plan going forward is to rebuild once a week or so, any issue doing that?

Thanks,

George

Rebuilding once a week is perfectly reasonable; in fact, OmniFocus 1.1 does this automatically.

(OmniFocus 1.1 can also synchronize your database between machines, so that process will get easier once it's released.)

And it will be release when? :) Sorry couldn't resist...

When opening large numbers of files over the network, sometimes Mac-based servers crap out. I've seen this kill a wireless bridge (non-Apple) as well.

Rebuilding the DB is bound to help. AFAIK, there's no harm in doing so. I regularly do just that after deleting large numbers of tasks/projects.
