Leopard compatibility for Omni apps

by Linda Sharps on October 25, 2007

For those of you who may be haunting Apple's Leopard countdown page, counting each and every second until you can get your early-adopter mitts on the newest OS; watching the guided tour over and over and maybe considering expanding your wardrobe to include more long-sleeved black t-shirts; working on your subdued, yet expressive hand gestures; pondering the sex appeal of various reflective surfaces . . . for YOU, I have good news: Omni has updated nearly all of our software so that when you start running Leopard on Friday (at 6 PM exactly), your favorite Omni apps won't let you down.

Well, to be clear, I mean they'll run on Leopard, I can't guarantee they won't let you down in other ways (for instance: not calling after a first date, failing to put their dishes in the dishwasher, consistently adding possessive apostrophes to plural nouns, etc).

In a nutshell:

• Current final releases of OmniWeb and OmniDiskSweeper are Leopard-ready

• Current beta releases of OmniFocus, OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, and OmniDazzle are Leopard-ready

• OmniPlan has some Leopard Issues that it's working through with talk therapy and an experimental drug regimen, but we hope to offer a 10.5 update in the next few weeks.

A full compatibility report is available on our Leopard status page, along with some fancy illustrative buttons.

Can't say it enough—love the silliness in the marketing schtick.


Thanks, Linda!

Nice to hear, that all new versions of Omni products are Leopard ready. But that doesn't answer the question whether my good old OmniGraffle Pro 4.2.1 will run on the new cat without any problems. If not i'll set Leopard aside.

OmniGraffle 4.2.2 beta 1 fixes Leopard compatibility issues.  (The release notes on the download page have more details.)

So what about QuickLook support?  That's one of the coolest and most easily demonstrable new features I can wow my friends with.  I grabbed the latest Outliner Pro beta, but still no QuickLook love?

Any plans on making a QuickLook plugin for OmniOutliner/OmniGraffle? They'd really expand the usefulness of the new Leopard Finder.

The releases posted this past week were primarily focused on fixing bugs and destructive incompatibilities with Leopard, not really adding new features. OmniPlan has QuickLook in the 1.5 beta posted today. I can't speak officially, but the other apps will probably try to add it in their next feature-adding releases.
