This update makes no sense to me:
What is an unavailable item? I can’t figure that out. Anything that is not overdue? in the next X days? Everything that is not overdue, on hold, or available?
I thought the whole idea of GTD is to take action on what needs to get done. If something is overdue or available then it makes sense to add to the badge count, anything that is UNAVAILABLE I would consider a “Future” item. Just like e-mail that hasn’t come in yet.
I am sure that many other people are use to working with badge count as including overdue and available items. In fact, the badge color was red if overdue and then orange if you had some available items to indicate a “softer” urgency. Putting unavailable items in the badge count is to me counter-intuitive.
Maybe this is useful to some, and I might be ok with it, but explain to me how I arrive at the count, what does it include? and I would prefer if you allowed that to be an option. I want my badge count to be as it has been since pretty much the inception of OmniFocus. I don’t mind if you let others get what they want, as long as I don’t have to change my style of operation.
Thanks for listening,
Vic
