OmniFocus 1.4 for iPad adds Location Reminders, support for iOS 5, and other improvements and bug fixes.

OmniFocus requires iOS 4.0 or later. In order to use Location Reminders, you need to have iOS 5 installed, and have an iPad 2 with 3G.

Location Reminders

• Location reminders can be handy for getting a little nudge when you are in the right area to complete an action. In order to use them, you need to have iOS 5 installed, and have an iPad 2 with 3G.
• You can enable Location Reminders in the Notifications section of the OmniFocus settings pane. Then use the context editor to assign locations and reminders to your contexts.
• Please see Setting up Location Reminders in OmniFocus Help for additional information.

Map

• Map mode always shows available actions and contexts with available actions.
• Several improvements were made to the behavior of the Map when Location Services is disabled. (Map mode requires Location Services to be enabled for full functionality.)
• Tapping the Center Map button always refreshes the current location before centering the map.
• OmniFocus now refreshes the list of contexts and available actions when resuming the app into Maps mode with list display active.
• Improved the fade out animation of context inspectors.
• When panning the map before showing a context inspector, the location is panned completely into view before displaying the inspector.

Forecast

• The Future section of Forecast mode always shows an action’s due date.
• Fixed a bug where hour cells on the event timeline could get stuck in the highlighted state on iOS 5.
• On iOS 5, calendars with identical names from different accounts can be independently hidden from the Forecast event timeline.
• On iOS 5, calendars in Forecast View Options are grouped by account.

Editors

• Improved feedback when tapping on the location type buttons in the Context Location inspector.
• Fixed a bug which caused the Context Location inspector to appear at the wrong initial size on iOS 5.

• When tapping the Current Location button in the Context Location inspector, the user is alerted when the location cannot be determined.
• The Context Location inspector better handles geocoding failures when setting up a context’s location using a contact.
• The Project Type popover is now wide enough to accommodate the Single Actions type without truncation.

Workflow

• The Remaining view filter in Context mode now displays remaining actions in remaining projects.

Sync

• The Bonjour login panel now identifies the Mac we are syncing with by name.

OmniFocus for iPad 1.3 updates Forecast Mode: Never spread yourself too thin. Enable Calendar integration to see your hard landscape events alongside your overdue and due soon OmniFocus actions. Use the View options menu to show your items with a start date. Reschedule your projects and actions—with just a tap or two—to keep your days balanced.

This update also includes full screen note viewing and editing, improved support for screen mirroring, and a number of other user interface and workflow improvements.

Forecast

• Forecast mode now integrates calendar events into a convenient timeline. Use the View options menu to configure which calendars appear on the timeline, and the range of hours for which events are displayed. (This feature requires iOS 4.0 or later.)
• Forecast mode now includes an additional section for viewing items starting on the days of the upcoming week. Use the View options menu to hide or show this section.
• Tapping “View” on a Due Reminder alert now takes you to the Forecast screen, showing you all items which have become overdue at once.

Editing

• The Note section of the Editor now includes an expand button. Tap on the expand button to view or edit your notes full screen.
• When searching in the Project and Context pickers, Smart Match terms are underlined in the search results.
• When assigning a Project or Context to an Action, search results are now presented in Library order rather than alphabetically.

Workflow

• The application’s badge counts the union of overdue, due soon, and flagged items. Items that are both flagged and overdue or due soon are no longer counted twice.
• Folders’ remaining count incorrectly included Single-Action Lists.
• Dropped Contexts are only visible in the Context move popover when the current View options are set to All.
• Dropped Folders are only visible in the Project move popover when the current View options are set to All.
• Errors from automatic sync sessions no longer interrupt you with an alert. Instead, the Sync button is badged. Tapping the Sync button will display the error alert and offer to retry the sync.

User Interface

• OmniFocus takes advantage of hardware screen mirroring when available.
• When mirroring your iPad 2 on a secondary display, OmniFocus now shows your gestures—taps, pinches, swipes, and all—so that your viewers can follow along.
• Untitled items are now correctly represented in Project, Action, and Context lists.
• Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect sorting of a Perspective’s actions when grouped by a date.

Inbox

• The Inbox badge count no longer includes completed items.
• Items blocked by a future start date are once again excluded from the Inbox badge count.
• Paste and New Action are now available from the contextual menu for the Inbox header.
• Fixed a bug which prevented you from moving an item to the top of the Inbox.

Review

• Projects within the Review sidebar are sorted in Library order.
• Fixed a bug where launching OmniFocus into Review mode with the Inbox selected incorrectly resulted in an empty list of projects needing review.
• When there are no remaining Projects requiring review, the plus button no longer gives multiple choices for creating an Inbox item.

Stability

• Fixed a crash which could occur when entering the background and using Bonjour syncing.
• Fixed a rare problem which could lead to a crash if OmniFocus received a memory warning while in landscape orientation.
• Fixed a regression where Email Debug Info (to the OmniFocus support ninjas) was inappropriately using the in-app mail client.

OmniFocus 1.2.4 adds improved support for using the camera on iPad 2, and corrects a regression introduced in the previous release.

• When tapping the Add Photo button on an iPad with a camera, you now have the option of taking a photo or using an existing photo in your Library.
• Fixed a regression in which overdue and due soon counts on Contexts incorrectly included completed items.

OmniFocus 1.2.2 is a maintenance release which improves performance when scheduling local notifications for Due Reminders and includes fixes for synchronization with WebDAV servers using self-signed certificates.

Performance

• Resolved a problem in which marking actions or projects complete was sluggish if local notifications were enabled.
• Resolved a problem which could lead to increased startup and sync times if local notifications were enabled.

Syncing

• Fixed a bug that caused a sync error to be incorrectly reported during the first sync after launch when syncing with a WebDAV server using a self-signed certificate.
• Fixed a bug where the initial sync with a WebDAV server using a self-signed certificate incorrectly displayed a sync error alert above the certificate trust prompt.
• Fixed a bug where syncing with a WebDAV server using a self-signed certificate would cause OmniFocus to crash on iOS 4.0.
• Fixed a bug in Sync Setup where the Save button was not functional when either Nothing or Bonjour was selected.
