I was finally invited to participate in the “Sneaky Peek” / Alpha / Preview testing of OmniFocus recently, which basically means I have access to Omni Groups internal builds. Here are two tips that I want to share.
1) Restart Quicksilver. (OmniFocus installs a quicksilver action, but you must restart qs to pick it up)
2) Turn on “And when quitting” check box on the Preferences -> General -> Back Up Database panel.
This is very helpful as you install the latest nightly builds, when you quit the current running version, you’ll know that your current GTD landscape will be retained after you’ve installed the new version.
If you have no idea what OmniFocus is (and you use a Mac) visit, www.omnigroup.com and have a look-see at OmniFocus. They have a few screen casts which demo’s the app. In a nutshell, it is an implementation of GTD (see David Allen’s “Book Getting Things Done”, for more info GTD, or online productivity sites like 43Folders for more general tidbits.)
