Comment on ~Archive with OmniFocus, or maybe not . . . by John Kendrick

Hi Annie,

Well, to be honest I acquiesced to the OF archive. My concerns early on, were that I would often need to review completed actions, and wanted them with the active project, but then I got a lot busier and just dealing with 20 or so active projects at any one time and all the tasks that go with them left no time to look back at what I had completed. About a year ago, I just began using the OF archive, and to be honest I haven’t even had to open it up to look for anything in all that time. I’m sure that there are some that want everything in one place as I was when I created the workaround, but I just don’t see the value of it anymore, and the OF archive routine has been working well for me. Not sure that helps, but thanks for reading. John

Hello John,

Impressive. I wonder if you still use this system, or has Omnifocus fixed it by now so that you no longer need to do this? I am new to the program and trying to find a way to keep a record of a whole project.

Thanks for any help, Annie

I’m dealing with the same. Not really sure what is causing it. I’ve had it afflict my iPhone. Not sure if Veency update or Cydia updated something.

Only real fix is to reinstall Veency for me. Would not like to do this as it seems to pop up again after a seemingly random amount of time making me reinstall. What a pain!

Hi John,

Wondering if you can help me. I’ve got Veency installed on the ipad, and chicken of the VNC set up on the mac.

Everything connects. However, when the display screen pops up attempting to show the ipad dispay it is all scrambled/garbled. I can tell it is in fact the ipad display because if I move the screen on the ipad, I see movement in the VNC display.

Does any one know why this display would be scrambled and how to fix it?

Thank you!!!

Comment on ~Playing the Waiting Game by Beth Greenapple

I don’t see why OmniFocus can’t provide us with two alternatives to Completed, i.e., Delegated or In Process. I found these very useful back in the bad old days when I transitioned from Franklin Planner to FP for my Palm Pilot. Then, if one wants to do so, using Waiting as a context or a person as a context can also be used. The simplest approach is to just leave the item in the Incomplete Task category and having stay where it was, marked Delgated or In Process.

I love this 5m duration tip. Actually, I do the same thing, except with a twist. I use flags for Today and 5m for my Weekly MIT’s. Omnifocus for Iphone doesn’t allow you to specify duration, and I spend a lot of time during the week checking, adding, and planning tasks to do Today (or tomorrow, if I’m in bed planning the next days tasks) on my Iphone. I usually plan my weekly MIT’s on my Macbook at the beginning of the week, where I can mark them all with 5m duration. The, during the week, I can flag certain items to be done today (or tomorrow). So it works, despite this unfortunate limitation with the Iphone version on Omnifocus.
