I started out in Project view by creating a folder for each client, with 1-3 projects for each. Here are the first three:
  • Jim
    • Web dev
  • Larry
    • Mac support
    • FileMaker dev
    • Web dev
  • Priscilla
    • Mac support
    • FileMaker dev
    • Web dev
And I created two generic contexts:
  • office
  • client site
This works well in Project view (except when I select the "Projects" line and see a long list of like-named, intermixed projects).

On the other hand, the Context view is not very useful because ...

1. I can't see the clients (aka Folders).
2. The "client site" context is actually "n" separate places with the same generic name.

I realize I could work within the current OmniFocus structure by used client-specific project names and client site contexts. But it would be so much easier/cleaner/nicer to have my Project folders displayed in the Context view.

I can tediously simulate a client-specific Context view with today's OmniFocus, one client at a time:

1. Select a client folder in Project view
2. Click Focus
3. Switch to Context view
4. Switch back to Project view & repeat 1-3

Even that's a bit of a problem because the Context view does not display the focused client-name/folder-name.

P.S. I'll submit this as a formal request if no one shows me the error of my ways.
