In one of the November 20 builds, we fixed a bug in iCal synchronization which would move tasks from unsynchronized calendars into OmniFocus’ inbox. (This regression was introduced a few weeks ago when we added the ability to map contexts to existing calendars.)

Thanks for reporting the problem!

I too lost all my iCal entries. Rather irritating, tho I’m using an alpha (now beta) so I should be clued in. I figured it might crash and destroy my OmniFocus data, tho, not that it would invade and clobber info on another app!

I’m just playing with OmniFocus a bit. It looks very good. One question or perhaps a suggestion. I dig that you can enter estimated times for each task, but it would be great to be able to see time totals, such as the total estimated time for a project, or the total estimated time for a current view of tasks and/or projects. Just some flexible way of seeing: I have these tasks scheduled and they’re going to take me 6.5 hours. That would really help me plan my days and production schedule.

Now that Ken’s taken the time to point out the popularity of the beta, I’m totally satisfied with this policy. This goes from “annoying sales push” to “bonus for beta testers”… which is actually laudable, imho.

If you already own OmniOutliner Pro, you receive a 25% discount from whatever your price would otherwise be: if you’re pre-ordering, $39.95 becomes $29.95.

(There are actually a lot of possible variants on the price since we also have educational discounts and family pack, bundle, and volume pricing. But it’s all calculated for you automatically on our online store at store.omnigroup.com.)

We still firmly believe that if our software doesn’t do what you want, we don’t want you to purchase it–which is why we’ve made OmniFocus betas publicly available for people to test drive now, at the same time as we’ve let them start purchasing.

Before opening it up for presales, we invited over 16,000 people to test-drive the software. Many of them have been telling us for months that they wanted a way to purchase licenses because it already does what they want, but we didn’t feel comfortable doing that until we had all our major features in place for 1.0.

Those major features are now in place, so we’re letting people pre-order if they’re happy with the software as is. But if you’ve tried it and you’re not convinced that it already does what you want it to do, then please wait until it does.
