We did do some work on a web app, but setting it up proved to be more challenging than a lot of folks wanted to deal with, so we stopped work on that front. Some of our users have picked that work up and are continuing it, though; check our forums for more info.

The killer bit being that the Perspective saves the Page Setup options.

A11en, does adjusting the Scale help you with your data density issue?

I sincerely hope you’ve got somebody writing a user manual. The power OF is pretty freaky.

You can control which columns to print and how wide they should be by setting them up the way you want in your view first. Once you’ve done this, you can save that layout in a Perspective (along with your page layout settings), giving you one-click printing of 3×5 cards (if you follow the tip from Brian’s earlier post).

In any case - full page printing *should* be working. Can you give us a little more detail on the problems you’re having?

I felt bad about putting all that on the blog, honestly, and so please feel free to remove it if you like. It may just be my own tasks that don’t really show up very well on the 3×5 card… but the data-density is kinda poor, so it makes using 3×5’s not very easy… and I was surprised to see full-page print-outs not working also. Would love to have more printing support if possible. But, to be honest, I don’t know how many people print this stuff out… it’s the old Hi-Fi/Lo-Fi debate/question. Having any printing at all, I’m grateful for!!

Omnifocus is awesome! Keep up the excellent work! It’s no wonder you guys got so many pre-purchasers so quickly. Hat’s off to you guys.

Current choice of column size does not appear to make sense. There is too much space reserved in various areas around the card (right hand side and bottom). There is currently no manner to change the viewed columns or size of columns in the print out version.

To give you an idea of the problems- print an 8.5×11 sheet, or larger- fonts shouldn’t grow past 12 points, and there’s no reason to have so much space- think space-saving.

Choosing scaling function in page setup does not appear to seriously influence the column widths, often one scales in order to increase the amount on a single line, not just get more lines on the page. [Try longer names for tasks and you'll see what I mean.]

No option for separate context lists on separate 3×5 cards.

You might consider having XML and CSS sheets for printing- the engine is there in the program… you could setup advanced printing preferences via CSS sheets, and share them with friends, etc. [just an idea]

Also, for space-savings, perhaps having a vertical text spanning the contexts on the left hand side (rotated 90 degrees to the rest of the page), and then highlight the list by way of a color-bar at the left edge. This would enable very quick flipping through 3×5 cards and determination of the context without need for a large line and spaces wasted in the print out. (See hipster PDA color-coding of card-edge with Sharpie markers for an example.)

Yes, currently you can print to 3×5, but there’s not much control over the view, column width, data density etc. I’m hoping it gets better before the release…

But, I’m very thankful it’s there at least rudimentarily. I was beginning to wonder if you were waiting for everything else to be done before playing with printing!

[Also spacing options in row spacing and column spacing in the normal program would be wonderful. A style selection similar to omnioutliner (for same-level of tasks in folders) would be helpful for altering some of this, perhaps- but perhaps not perfectly appropriate...]
