OmniPlan for Mac 2.3.7

October 15, 2014

Requires OS X 10.8

This version of OmniPlan 2.3 employs security features in Mac OS which are new to version 10.8 and will not run on earlier releases of Mac OS X.

Syncing OmniPlan 2.3 documents to the iPad requires OmniPlan for iPad version 1.3 or later.

  • Export Error — After quitting and relaunching OmniPlan, HTML Full Reports export actions no longer produce a “File does not exist” error.
  • Local Calendar Subscriptions — Fixed a bug where iCal calendar subscriptions could produce an “unrecognized selector” when updating.
  • Crash marking tasks complete — The right combination of complex resource dependencies could lead to a crash when marking tasks as completed. This has been fixed.
  • Data Loss when Resource Type Changed — Changing a resource group to a staff resource after it has been assigned and resource leveled could corrupt the file and result in data loss. This has been fixed and previously corrupted files now load correctly.
  • Sync Tasks to/from iCal Event — Publishing to iCal Events could get stuck in a loop, infinitely refreshing itself. We no longer refresh in the middle of saves, fixing that issue.
  • Sync Tasks to/from iCal Event — Publishing to iCal Events is now better at identifying any calendar events previously published to represent your tasks and updating them, rather than creating new, duplicate events.
  • Popup Toolbar Buttons — The popup toolbar button (Update, Publish, Assignment, Connect, Critical Path) will once again popup their menus.
  • Change Log Truncation — We now prune resolved change log data more frequently to keep file size more managable.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a crash caused by plugging and unplugging external monitors. If you are still able to reproduce this bug, please let us know!
  • Added an Open Scripts Folder menu item to the Help menu and a link to the Execute AppleScript configuration. This is the directory AppleScripts need to be placed in to by run by the app.
  • Fixed pixelated rendering of task labels on printouts of the Gantt view.
  • Fixed bad scaling in the timeline view that could give the view a distorted appearance on printouts.
  • If you allow leveling to split tasks into chunks with a minimum duration, it may now split at the end of the completed portion of the task, even if that makes a task chunk with a smaller duration than allowed otherwise.
  • Task labels atop task groups now pick a font size that should fit on the bar regardless of any styles applied to the row.
  • It was possible to get into a state such that when saving a file, the save panel showed you the place you want to save, but when you clicked “OK” it returned an error such as “The file [filename].oplx does not exist”. This has been fixed.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when changing a project from specific to undetermined date mode.
  • The completion slider in the Task Information inspector got its groove back.
  • Fixed a crash if you close the inspector window while you have pending text changes in the Resource Assignments inspector.

  • Fixed a crash assigning material resources in resource groups to tasks.
  • Fixed a rare drawing error in critical paths on PDF exports.
  • Week-spanning schedule exceptions now display on all weeks they span under Extra & Off Hours.
  • Some calendar events were being improperly discarded on input.
  • Sync tasks to/from iCal events actions should find the users’ calendars once again.
