Change default "Tonight" time

OmniFocus OmniFocus for Mac

Hi there - wondering if there’s a way to change the default “tonight” time? It currently defaults to 11:00 pm; I’d like to change it to something like 7pm.

Thanks!

‘Tonight’? Can you explain where this is used in OmniFocus? I can’t find it anywhere…

Or are you referring to some applescript? If that’s the case, you should open it in the AppleScript editor, there will be a reference there that can be changed.

Not sure there’s a way for that. But… may I suggest you to use “7p” instead? Much easier to type than “tonight”.

You can always use natural language dates on OF OS X version, like “today”, “tuesday” (or imply “tue”), “1 week” (or simply “1w”).

thanks - yes, you’re right “7p” is fewer keystrokes, but sometimes “tonight” is more natural. In any case, certainly not a big deal, but was just wondering if there was a way.

thanks again,

I’m not sure. I suggest you email the Omni Ninjas… they do not often monitor the forum, but they certainly answer support requests via email.

Help → Contact Omni, inside the app, gives you the right email address ;-)

I don’t mind typing “tonight”–in some ways it speeds things up because you don’t have to think through should I do that at 7p or 8p?

I use “today” all the time and I know that it will be due at 3:00.

Just as there is a default time for defer dates, it would be good for their to bea default time for “tonight”.
