  • Incorrect Durations — Duration on Fixed Duration tasks no longer grow to a super long length when the “+” and “-” buttons are tapped.

OmniPlan for iOS 2.1

March 12, 2015

Requires iOS 8

OmniPlan v2.1 is now a universal app which runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices! With the Pro upgrade, OmniPlan can now import Microsoft Project (.mpp) documents created by Microsoft Project 2013 (in addition to 2003, 2007, and 2010)–and for the first time on iOS, OmniPlan Pro can export documents to Microsoft Project 2013.

  • Updated Layout — The layout of the interface has been adapted to work on smaller iPhone and iPod touch screens as well as larger iPad screens. As a result, many of the tools may no longer be where they used to be–and may even shift automatically to different locations depending on your screen size and orientation. We hope we’ve done this in a way that makes the app even easier to use efficiently, but if you have any comments about any of the changes please don’t hesitate to email us!
  • MS Project 2013 Compatibility — The In-App Purchase feature for MS Project Support (OmniPlan Pro) has been updated with import and export support for MS Project 2013 (.mpp) files.
  • Touch Gesture Granularity — Dragging a task bar’s duration will now move in more sane and manageable increments, based on the gantt chart’s current time scale.
  • Gantt Chart Performance — Horizontal pinch-to-scale is much smoother now.
  • Interface Improvements — The activity indicator during exports is easier to see.
  • Interface Improvements — Start Constraint troughs are more visible.
  • Interface Improvements — We now badge the View icon in the toolbar when there are new Change Tracking updates.
  • Notes — Notes are now saved when they’re created in the full-screen notes window.
  • Resource Assignments — Resource assignments are correctly removed when a resource is deleted from the project.
  • Stability — Fixed an instance where changing the project granularity would crash the app.
  • Stability — No longer crashing when completing past due tasks.

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.
