feature request (maybe not for OG3)

[Erithacus rubecula]

Hi,
A while back (i mysteriously managed to dump a months worth of emails) 
on the OO discussion list, we were asked by Brian C. what were some of 
the features that we'd like to have implemented into OO vers. 3. My own 
request (made intermittently every few months), is the ability to see 
true inter compatability between OmniOutliner and OmniGraffle. That is 
the ability to be able to generate an OG document from an OO document 
and then, if you made changes to the OG document, that this would be 
reflected in the OO document. This of course should work both ways 
equally well (OG to OO and back again). Or even (to put the dual 
package of OO and OG on an equal footing with Inspiration) the ability 
to go from ideas in OG and then to automatically create and outline in 
OO (instead of having to start with OO and then go to OG). I was 
surprised on the OO list (given the number of folks that like 
Inspiration) that this was not a more popular request.

However, the reply back from Brian C. was that this was not something 
that OO could handle (it went a bit too technical for me) and that 
instead this was something that would have to be implemented in OG. 
Maybe David can comment on this? I'd certainly like to have this as my 
biggest feature request.

Given that sneak previews of OG3 are now about - I guess I missed the 
boat on this round. But if there are other OG/OO users who might like 
this - if this is a feature that you also wanted to be included I guess 
an email request (cut paste and 'ditto') might raise the profile, as 
the Omni folks across the various applications have stated many times 
that it's those that cry loudest with their feature requests that tend 
to get attended to first. If I'm truly one of the few that wanted this 
inter-operability, then I guess it's another in the list of 
increasingly many things that I'm learning every day :-)

Best

Robin
