It's alive! OmniOutliner 3.7 beta 1 is here, now with QuickLook!

by Derek on July 28, 2008

I know things have been rather quiet on the OmniOutliner front, but 3.7 beta 1 is now available! Highlights include:

  • QuickLook support - It's dynamically created with XSLT using the same transform as the dynamic HTML export. This means you can expand and collapse sections in the preview.
  • New high-res icons for 10.5
  • OmniFocus protocol support so you can script or type in OmniFocus links
There's also a number of bug and crash fixes included. A big one being that we've changed how backup saves are handled for file wrappers (the default file format). The backup copy will now be saved to the hidden file .OOBK inside the wrapper. This is to work around a 16 MB file size limit that was discovered. If you've edited your document to be a flat file, it will still save to the resource fork of the file with the 16 MB size limit. 

You can download the beta here and read the full release notes here. And as always, if you have any feedback or bug reports, please contact our Support Ninjas using the Send Feedback option under the Help menu or at omnioutliner@omnigroup.com

Ooo… Those links are very very cool… Now I can track projects inside outlines!!


Will the links follow the status of the items?  I.e., if we mark it completed, will it open the archive area and show us the link and have the date of completion etc. related to it?


[seeing all sorts of possibilities here…]


Awesome.

If you archive data, it's moved out of your database into a separate file at which point the link is no longer valid but will take you to the project if it still exists. But as long as the action exists in the database you originally linked it from, it will find it.
