OmniFocus 1.10 for Mac adds flexible weekly repeats, updates the application icon, and fixes a handful of reported issues.

Repeating Actions

Added flexible weekly repeats. When a project or action repeats every week, you can specify the days of the week the item should repeat on.

For example:

Repeat every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

will create actions due on:

• Monday, February 13, 2012
• Wednesday, February 15, 2012
• Friday, February 17, 2012
• Monday, February 20, 2012
• Wednesday, February 22, 2012
• Friday, February 25, 2012
• …

Important: Please update to OmniFocus 1.14 for iPhone and OmniFocus 1.5 for iPad before using these new weekday repeats.

Miscellaneous

• Updated the application icon.
• Fixed a bug which resulted in a “Cannot overwrite file” error for some users when adding items to OmniFocus on OS X Lion.
• Fixed date parsing in the Inspector for users with a custom time format using period as the delimiter.

OmniFocus 1.9.4 for Mac is a maintenance release which includes minor bug fixes and improvements.

Sync

The Omni Sync Server beta badge has been removed. We’ve got lots of people using it, but it is still in beta. We expect to change that very soon. If you want to know when the sync server leaves beta, you can follow @omnisyncserver on Twitter or watch for changes on https://sync.omnigroup.com/.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed compatibility issue with Growl 1.3 and later.
• Fixed a bug which caused the Mac App Store edition to report an “Unable to backup database” error on quit.
• Fixed a regression which caused the Clip-O-Tron installer to fail on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and earlier.
• Fixed a bug which would cause the software update installer to fail if the application was locked in the Finder.
• Fixed a bug which would cause the software update installer to fail when encountering unexpected ownership or permissions.
• Fixed a bug where the date picker didn’t appear correctly when Quick Entry was invoked in the context of a full-screen application.

Scripting

Worked around an issue in when using full-screen mode on OS X Lion which would cause certain AppleScripts attempting to target the front window to fail.

If you are the author of a script which uses the following idiom:

tell application "OmniFocus"
    tell front document
        tell (first document window whose index is 1)
            ... 
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

Please discontinue using it. This idiom will fail in situations other than full-screen mode on OS X Lion. The correct template to use is:

tell application "OmniFocus"
    tell first document window of front document
      ...
    end tell
end tell

• When entering a date, weekday and month abbreviations are now accepted without trailing punctuation in all locales. (For example, “Di” et al. in German.)
• When entering a date, localized variants of h, hour, and hours are now recognized when parsing the time component.
• When entering a date, ASCII equivalents are now accepted. For example, “miércoles” and “miercoles” are now treated as equivalent in Spanish.
• Fixed a bug where entering a full day name didn’t work in certain locales if the day was prefixed by a month abbreviation. (For example, “martes” in Spanish.)
• When entering a date in locales where short day names and short month names share the same abbreviation, the short day name is preferred.
• Fixed a bug where the abbreviation for tomorrow in Italian prevented you from entering a date as Domencia.
• Corrected date parsing in the French localization such that “vendredi prochain” and “dernier vendredi” are equivalent to “last friday” and “next friday”.

• Fixed a bug in Sync Setup which prevented successful configuration using the Omni Sync Server method if your username contained an @ symbol.
• Fixed a regression where holding down the Option key to reverse a Perspective's “Open in New Window” when choosing a Perspective from the menu bar only worked if the option key was held down when you clicked in the menu bar.
• The “Send to Omnifocus Inbox” now works correctly with OmniPlan 2 and Mac App Store editions of OmniPlan.
• Fixed the Help button on the Sync Clients sheet.
• Fixed a regression where using Command-Return to create a new Project or Context didn't leave the field in edit mode.
• Relaxed the modifier key requirements for global quick entry keyboard shortcut.
• The Inbox badge no longer counts items blocked by a future start date.
• Worked around an OS bug which prevented clipping certain messages with attachments from Mail.
• Fixed a bug which prevented the Clippings Shortcut from being correctly set in a new user account.

• Fixed a localization bug where the Action inspector repetition text was incorrectly in French for the Italian localization.
• Fixed a problem where OmniFocus help could not be loaded for certain localizations.
• Additional fixes to various localizations.
