OmniPlan for iOS 2.1

March 12, 2015

Requires iOS 8

OmniPlan v2.1 is now a universal app which runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices! With the Pro upgrade, OmniPlan can now import Microsoft Project (.mpp) documents created by Microsoft Project 2013 (in addition to 2003, 2007, and 2010)–and for the first time on iOS, OmniPlan Pro can export documents to Microsoft Project 2013.

  • Updated Layout — The layout of the interface has been adapted to work on smaller iPhone and iPod touch screens as well as larger iPad screens. As a result, many of the tools may no longer be where they used to be–and may even shift automatically to different locations depending on your screen size and orientation. We hope we’ve done this in a way that makes the app even easier to use efficiently, but if you have any comments about any of the changes please don’t hesitate to email us!
  • MS Project 2013 Compatibility — The In-App Purchase feature for MS Project Support (OmniPlan Pro) has been updated with import and export support for MS Project 2013 (.mpp) files.
  • Touch Gesture Granularity — Dragging a task bar’s duration will now move in more sane and manageable increments, based on the gantt chart’s current time scale.
  • Gantt Chart Performance — Horizontal pinch-to-scale is much smoother now.
  • Interface Improvements — The activity indicator during exports is easier to see.
  • Interface Improvements — Start Constraint troughs are more visible.
  • Interface Improvements — We now badge the View icon in the toolbar when there are new Change Tracking updates.
  • Notes — Notes are now saved when they’re created in the full-screen notes window.
  • Resource Assignments — Resource assignments are correctly removed when a resource is deleted from the project.
  • Stability — Fixed an instance where changing the project granularity would crash the app.
  • Stability — No longer crashing when completing past due tasks.

OmniPlan for Mac 2.3.7

October 15, 2014

Requires OS X 10.8

This version of OmniPlan 2.3 employs security features in Mac OS which are new to version 10.8 and will not run on earlier releases of Mac OS X.

Syncing OmniPlan 2.3 documents to the iPad requires OmniPlan for iPad version 1.3 or later.

  • Export Error — After quitting and relaunching OmniPlan, HTML Full Reports export actions no longer produce a “File does not exist” error.
  • Local Calendar Subscriptions — Fixed a bug where iCal calendar subscriptions could produce an “unrecognized selector” when updating.
  • Crash marking tasks complete — The right combination of complex resource dependencies could lead to a crash when marking tasks as completed. This has been fixed.
  • Data Loss when Resource Type Changed — Changing a resource group to a staff resource after it has been assigned and resource leveled could corrupt the file and result in data loss. This has been fixed and previously corrupted files now load correctly.
  • Sync Tasks to/from iCal Event — Publishing to iCal Events could get stuck in a loop, infinitely refreshing itself. We no longer refresh in the middle of saves, fixing that issue.
  • Sync Tasks to/from iCal Event — Publishing to iCal Events is now better at identifying any calendar events previously published to represent your tasks and updating them, rather than creating new, duplicate events.
  • Popup Toolbar Buttons — The popup toolbar button (Update, Publish, Assignment, Connect, Critical Path) will once again popup their menus.
  • Change Log Truncation — We now prune resolved change log data more frequently to keep file size more managable.

September 16, 2014

Requires iOS 7

OmniPlan for Mac 2.3.6

July 29, 2014

OmniPlan 2.3 requires Mac OS X 10.8 or later

This version of OmniPlan 2.3 employs security features in Mac OS which are new to version 10.8 and will not run on earlier releases of Mac OS X.

Syncing OmniPlan 2.3 documents to the iPad requires OmniPlan for iPad version 1.3 or later.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a crash caused by plugging and unplugging external monitors. If you are still able to reproduce this bug, please let us know!
  • Added an Open Scripts Folder menu item to the Help menu and a link to the Execute AppleScript configuration. This is the directory AppleScripts need to be placed in to by run by the app.
  • Fixed pixelated rendering of task labels on printouts of the Gantt view.
  • Fixed bad scaling in the timeline view that could give the view a distorted appearance on printouts.
  • If you allow leveling to split tasks into chunks with a minimum duration, it may now split at the end of the completed portion of the task, even if that makes a task chunk with a smaller duration than allowed otherwise.
  • Task labels atop task groups now pick a font size that should fit on the bar regardless of any styles applied to the row.
  • It was possible to get into a state such that when saving a file, the save panel showed you the place you want to save, but when you clicked “OK” it returned an error such as “The file [filename].oplx does not exist”. This has been fixed.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when changing a project from specific to undetermined date mode.
  • The completion slider in the Task Information inspector got its groove back.
  • Fixed a crash if you close the inspector window while you have pending text changes in the Resource Assignments inspector.
  • Fixed a crash caused by modifying a style while editing text in an outline view.
  • Fixed a crash assigning material resources in resource groups to tasks.
  • Fixed a rare drawing error in critical paths on PDF exports.
  • Week-spanning schedule exceptions now display on all weeks they span under Extra & Off Hours.
  • Some calendar events were being improperly discarded on input.
  • Sync tasks to/from iCal events actions should find the users’ calendars once again.
  • Creating a task with the ending date property now works properly.
  • Fixed a missing entitlement log during sync.

OmniPlan for iOS 2.0.2

June 25, 2014

Requires iOS 7

OmniPlan 2.0.2 is now localized and includes some bug fixes:

  • Localizations — OmniPlan is now localized into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, and Chinese.
  • Leveling — Leveling no longer corrupts duration and effort on fixed duration tasks assigned to resource groups.
  • Stability — Improved application stability.
  • Exports — If you rename your project, the new title is now used on the HTML reports rather than the old.
  • Crazy Filenames — If you publish a file from the Mac with a ‘/’ (slash) character in the filename, you can download it to the iPad now. The slash will be converted to a ‘:’ (colon).
  • PDF Manual — The PDF manual is now opened in Safari rather than in an in-app viewer. You can therefore save it in iBooks if you like.
  • Task Labels on Images — The labels on image export and previews now reflect how they are configured in the document, rather than using factory default settings.
  • Baselines on Images — If the document is configured to display a baseline, it will be included also in image exports and preview images.
  • Dependency Lines — Fixed a bug that caused dependency lines to be left around sometimes when their Gantt cells wandered away from them.
  • Baselines — Fixed a bug that caused everything to disappear from the Gantt view when a baseline was turned on or off.
