Omnifocus clip o tron

The new clip-o-tron nicely grabs emails, but it seems to be hard-coding their location to the Inbox, such that after the message is moved, the URL in the notes part of the OF entry can’t find and open the message - it just opens a blank window. Nick June 2, 2014, 10:58am 2 In fact, what appears to happen is that the url points to the mailbox the message was clipped from, whether the Inbox or another box. I’ve just tested that to confirm.I’m not surprised - I expect urls to be direct links. But it’s an issue is there any solution to this? very frustrating. And the weird thing is it doesn’t used to happen this way. I used to be able to clip it, archive it and still be able to open the email. The ninjas emailed me. Turns out the answer is you need to restart the computer and the problem goes away. ryanfuse July 15, 2014, 12:20pm 5 unfortunately the ninja trick does not work for me. Restarting sure worked for the clipped items. but new clipped items are going to blank inbox again.you can restart mail app and get the same effect. But restarting every time? No thanks Having the exact same problem. Any solutions on the horizon? I am having this problem too. Surely OF can keep track of messages when they are moved? This is an essential requirment for me. Restarting mail doesn’t make any difference to me. jacktb December 19, 2014, 10:35am 8 To get around this, I am trying to setup a keyboard shortcut to move a selected mail to a specific folder and then invoke the Clip-O-Tron on the mail.Moving the mail in AppleScript seems straight-forward enough. But I do not know how to then invoke the Clip-O-Tron on the mail after the move. Can I call another service from one I create?I may need to find a more general automator forum, perhaps superuser.com. lizard January 6, 2015, 10:58pm 9 If you’re already writing a script, you could probably* copy/paste the code from the Clip-o-Tron into your script, rather than trying to call it.*Caveats:(1) This would require OmniFocus Pro(2) I have not tried this(3) Our script may someday change, and then yours would be doing something different than ours. Depending on what the change is, this might be a good or a bad thing. psshfr December 20, 2015, 2:42pm 10 Any update on this? I’m having a related problem at the end of 2015: The links work on the mac where I moved the message, but not on my iPad if the message is moved from the inbox after clip-o-torn is run. (When I edit the link I don’t see

Books and hangs out with his buddies. Sometime in the next year, Tom wants to buy a condo near his workplace in downtown LA, and he wants travel around the world. In the long term, Tom wants to escape the rat race and live the 4-Hour Work Week lifestyle.As a trendy up-and-comer Tom has an iPhone, iPad and a Macbook Pro, and is a huge fan of Apple.Tom, is of course, an entirely fictional character (sorry ladies). We like to think of him as an average real-world OmniFocus user – someone who juggles a job, a busy personal life, some hobbies and multiple dreams and goals.We’re going to take a snapshot of Tom’s life, and show you how, using OmniFocus, he can organize it to become extremely productive.PreferencesBefore we can get into the nitty-gritty of Tom’s life, we need to get the foundation of OmniFocus – the preferences – ready to go.General PreferencesOmniFocus Preferences: GeneralHere are the general preference settings for OmniFocus. Of particular note are:The twice a day backup.The unchecking of the “full hierarchy” view for contexts – more is simply just distracting.You can take note of the quick entry shortcut, though in reality I have found that I use “send to OmniFocus” via the control-click menu and quick entry on iOS devices a lot more.DataOmniFocus Preferences: DataOf particular note:Due Soon means 24 hours.The item count for the dock is for flagged items only – you’ll see why in part 2 of this series.The default 11:55pm due date. I like to give myself the whole day to complete something.New projects as parallel by default – you’ll find that most personal projects have multiple discrete tasks that can be done is a non-specific order.StyleJust download the Asian Efficiency™ approved OmniFocus stylesheet here: AE OmniFocus StyleAnd here’s how to apply the style:ClippingsOmniFocus Preferences: ClippingFor the most part you can leave this screen alone. Just remember to install the Mail Clip-O-Tron 3000 if you use Apple Mail.MailNothing to see here.SyncOmniFocus Preferences: SyncWe strongly suggest using MobileMe to sync your OmniFocus data. If you don’t have a MobileMe subscription, The Omni Group’s Omni Sync service is the best way to go. The easy way to get the same setup on your iOS devices is to use “share settings” or “send settings” via this preference pane.iCalWith iOS devices, the iCal functionality becomes redundant.UpdateOmniFocus Preferences: UpdatesCheck for updates daily.Toolbar and Default ViewWe also want to reset the toolbar to its default view, and to set up the default columns for project view (we’ll deal with context views in the Custom Perspectives article).To reset the toolbar to default, control-click on it, select customize toolbar and drag the default set into the toolbar. Be sure to check “use small size” too – you’ll need this for later.Drag the default set up to the toolbar.To set up the default columns for project view, control-click on the header row in project view and make sure contexts, start date and due date are checked.Check contexts, start date and due date

An email client that combines Gmail's web interface with a slew of additional features, including integration with OmniFocus.Mailplane is touted as the “best way to use Gmail on your Mac.” It’s designed to give you the power and convenience of Gmail’s web-based web client while also introducing features that can only be delivered through a dedicated app. For example, Mailplane integrates with the Contacts app and can be set to be your default mail application.2021-06-07 Update: Mailplane is no longer selling licenses due to some restrictions that Google recently put in place. You’ll find additional details on the Mailplane website.You can create an OmniFocus action based on an email by invoking Mailplane’s “Save Clip” feature and choosing “OmniFocus” from the available options.

Otherwise, the entire contents of the email will be added to the note field.Additionally, two links are automatically added to the note field: one that allows you to access the email from within Mailplane and a second that provides access to the email through Gmail’s standard web interface.Learn OmniFocus Content Featuring Mailplane

Tags This section of the tutorial will examine how to create, find, assign, and delete tags — one of the most powerful features of OmniFocus. In OmniFocus, a tag represents an association that a task has to the world around it. A tag could represent a person, place, or thing most relevant to completion of a project, or it could represent a mindset most applicable to execution of an action item. An item can have as many tags as you find useful, and there is no specific purpose assigned to them; use tags to assign priority, group items by energy level or required equipment, or don’t use them at all. To begin, let’s examine where tags are surfaced in the OmniFocus interface. DO THIS ► The Tags Perspective displays a list of your tags in the sidebar, and a list of all your actions grouped by the tags they belong to in the outline. Run the following script that sets the value of the perspective property of the Window class so that the Tags Perspective is displayed: document.windows[0].perspective = Perspective.BuiltIn.Tags omnifocus://localhost/omnijs-run?script=try%7Bdocument%2Ewindows%5B0%5D%2Eperspective%20%3D%20Perspective%2EBuiltIn%2ETags%7Dcatch%28err%29%7Bconsole%2Elog%28err%29%7D Show the Tags Perspective document.windows[0].perspective = Perspective.BuiltIn.Tags The Tags Perspective will now be displayed in OmniFocus. TIP: you can use this script to change the currently displayed perspective by replacing the Tags property of the Perspective.BuiltIn class to: Flagged, Forecast, Inbox, Nearby, Projects, Search, or Review Creating Tags Instances of the Tag class are created using the standard JavaScript new item constructor. new Tag(name:String, position:Tag or Tag.ChildInsertionLocation or null) → (Tag r/o) • The new Tag object titled with the provided string. Unless otherwise specified, tags are added to the end of the array of the tags within their parent container. As with the creation of tasks, the new Tag constructor has a second optional parameter (Tag.ChildInsertionLocation) that indicates
