OmniPlan for iOS 3.7

September 19, 2017

Requires iOS 11

OmniPlan 3.7 for iOS introduces support for Drag & Drop and integration with the iOS 11 Files app. This release also includes a handful of updates to OmniPlan’s interface and bug fixes.

OmniPlan 3.7 for iOS requires iOS 11.

  • Drag and Drop Within OmniPlan — You can now drag tasks within or between OmniPlan projects. Tasks can be dragged out of the Gantt chart or Network diagram and dropped onto the Gantt chart (dropping isn’t currently supported in the Network Diagram). To drag multiple tasks at once, start dragging the first of your tasks, then tap the other tasks you’d like to include. When dropping multiple tasks at once they take the order in which they were added to the drag (this is also a quick way to reorder tasks in a project). To cancel a drag in progress, drag all the way to the edge of the screen.
  • Drag and Drop Between Other Apps — On iPad you can drag tasks from OmniPlan to any app that supports dropping text or calendar events. Dragging calendar events, reminders, plain text, or OmniFocus tasks into OmniPlan creates new tasks.
  • Drag and Drop in the Document Picker — The Document Picker supports Drag and Drop to make document management even easier. Drag files in to quickly import them, drag them out to copy them elsewhere, or pick up a group of documents and add them to a folder in the Document Browser to keep all your projects organized.
  • Files App Integration & iCloud Support — OmniPlan 3 now supports file management and iCloud Drive sync via the iOS 11 Files app. Local OmniPlan project files now appear in the iOS 11 Files app, and OmniPlan projects saved to iCloud Drive will open in place for editing. At this point in time we do not recommend syncing OmniPlan files with third-party sync services other than iCloud, as many of these sync services do not support OmniPlan’s file package format.
  • Icons — We’ve updated OmniPlan with bolder, more colorful icons.
  • Microsoft Project Import — OmniPlan no longer performs a destructive import of Microsoft Project files. The original .mpp Microsoft Project file is now left in its original location, and the imported OmniPlan .oplx project file is copied into OmniPlan’s Local Documents. (In previous versions of OmniPlan, the imported .oplx file overwrote the original .mpp file.)
  • Share Menu — It is no longer possible to share multiple files at a time.
  • View Type — It is now possible to switch between the Gantt and Network views via an option in the View popover (this allows OmniPlan to hide the view type toolbar button when the toolbar is too crowded).
  • Document Browser — Pulling down in the document browser no longer results in unnecessary blank space.
  • Server Repositories — The alert presented when deleting a file from a server repository is now spelled correctly, and provides the option to cancel.
  • Task Inspector — Restored the “i” buttons for inspecting task assignments and dependent tasks.

OmniPlan for iOS 3.6.3

August 16, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniPlan 3.6.3 is a minor update focused on bug fixes.

  • Localizations — Text in OmniPlan’s new welcome screen and free viewer mode is now fully localized.
  • Project Calendar — Fixed a bug related to regional calendar settings that could cause extra days to be added to a project’s work week when adjust working hours.

OmniPlan for iOS 3.6.2

July 27, 2017

Requires iOS 10

  • In-App Purchase — Fixed a bug that could cause OmniPlan not to recognize previous Pro purchases.

OmniPlan for iOS 3.6.1

July 26, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniPlan 3.6.1 for iOS is a bug fix release.

  • Localizations — Updated localized text in OmniPlan’s first launch experience and trial mode banners.
  • In-App Purchase — Pro feature set now unlocks properly for existing Pro customers.
  • Inspectors — Fixed a bug that could cause inspector text to shift too far right.

OmniPlan for iOS 3.6

July 24, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniPlan 3.6 for iOS includes a redesigned inspector experience, full dark theme support, and a handful of bug fixes. This release also introduces the option for new customers to try OmniPlan for two weeks before purchasing the application.

  • Optimized Inspectors — The Task, Resource, and Project Inspectors now open in a unified view on smaller iOS devices and as a unified sidebar on larger iOS devices, allowing for improved access to inspector contents. You can show or hide the unified inspector by tapping the “i” icon. When space is available, inspectors now persist on the screen, making it easier to make multiple changes to your project.
  • Dark Mode — Enabling OmniPlan’s Dark Theme now applies the dark color palette to the full app interface (previously, applying the Dark Theme only changed the project’s color scheme).
  • Free Downloads — OmniPlan is now a free download in the iTunes App Store. This change allows us to offer a two week trial and unlicensed read-only mode to new customers who download OmniPlan for iOS. This change does not affect existing OmniPlan customers, and the prices to unlock OmniPlan functionality (Standard and Pro) remain the same.
  • Microsoft Project — OmniPlan now supports importing and exporting Microsoft Project elapsed time values.
  • Settings — OmniPlan’s version number is now displayed in Settings app.
  • Task Scheduling Inspector — Prerequisite and dependent task lists now fill the available space (these lists previously only displayed 6 tasks at a time).
  • Toolbar — Toolbar icons and layout have been updated to better fit available space. Task, Resource, and Project Inspector icons have been consolidated into one “i” icon.
  • Keyboard — Addressed a bug that could cause the on-screen keyboard to appear the wrong shade of grey on some devices.
  • Localizations — Elapsed duration key label is now localized in the duration keyboard.
  • Microsoft Project — Fixed a couple of bugs related to Microsoft Project import/export.
  • Network View — Fixed a bug that could prevent Task Inspector navigation arrows from functioning if tasks were added in Network view immediately after project creation.
  • New Tasks — New task title text is now automatically selected after task creation to allow for quickly renaming tasks.
  • Server Repositories — Renamed buttons to reduce confusion when setting up a new server repository.
