I was using OF for both work & personal, but the iPhone app sync is just too slow for me. so i've just decided to use Things for personal (I think that workflow works better for it). now that I'm only using the OF desktop app for work projects, your posts are helping me get more out of it. thanks! just wanted to say thanks for this post (and the series). it’s reinvigorated my OF usage.

Everything you suggested in #1 and #2 worked perfectly. For some reason, I can't get #3 to work. The "Get Info" box does not recognize (ie., there is no green plus sign) a jpeg when I drag it on top of the Preview section. In OF, there is a button in my toolbar that works, labeled "Reply", but with an image that is a rectangle that says "jpeg". I apologize for boring you with these details, and if you are reading this and thinking, "this dude is an idiot!", I couldn't blame you. I can live with the fact that the button is in the OF toolbar and it works. But a custom picture would be really nice. Any suggestions? John – Thank you for the quick reply.

Look for the script in the list, and drag it to the toolbar. 2) The button text is the name of the script, so to change it, just go to where you saved the script, ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/OmniFocus and rename the script, leaving the extension the same. 3) To change the icon used for the script, again navigate to where you saved the script, right-click on the script and select, "Get Info". Then just drag the image you want to use for the toolbar button over top of the default image in the Preview section of the "Get Info" box. Hope that answers all your questions.

But the button says "Complete and Await Reply" and the picture is the AppleScript standard pic. Any thoughts? OK, I got it to work on my own, which is great!

Thank you for bringing it into existence with Curt. While I am a veteran Mac user, I am new to scripting. Followed your instructions to @Michal when I encountered the same problem - no button in the OF Toolbar. Can't seem to get it to appear, even after re-starting OF three times. I created the folder, as you suggested, but cannot get the button to appear. Any chance at a screenshare to see if I stuck it in the wrong place?

]]> Comment on ~MBP Leopard Install with Parallels 3 by John Kendrick http://johnkendrickonline.com/2007/12/15/mbp-leopard-install-with-parallels-3/#comment-633 John Kendrick Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:58:23 +0000 http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2007/12/15/mbp-leopard-install-with-parallels-3/#comment-633 Cathey - We don't have any experience with Windows 7. We've been running XP on a MacBook Pro and iMac for several years now and the Artista software runs just fine. We started with Bootcamp, but quickly moved to Parallels so we could use the Mac software right alongside Designer Plus. It has worked great for us and are currently using Designer v6. One cautionary note is that we have heard of folks having problems with Parallels v5 and Windows 7. Since both are new upgrades, it probably makes sense to wait a while on these while they shake the bugs out. If you don't plan to spend time in Windows, then XP should be fine, otherwise I've heard very good press about Windows 7. Hope this helps, and thanks for reading - John.
