Is there a quick way to file actions into projects?
I find that I am often forwarding email to my inbox. When I visit OmniFocus, I would like to shift-select these tasks and assign in one go a project to the selected task. I don’t see how this can be done. The only way I know how is to individually go into each task and assign its project, but when there are many tasks this becomes tedious.
If you have multiple tasks selected, the inspector on the right hand side should allow you to update properties for all of the selected tasks, including assigning a project to all of them in one go.
If you’re not seeing the Inspector appear on the right, you can open it by pressing OPT+CMD+I or selecting “Show Inspector” on the View menu.
You can also open a second OmniFocus window to show your projects, then you can drag-and-drop tasks from the inbox in the first window, to the projects in the second.
How to open a second OmniFocus window with your project outline:
via File > New Window ⌥⌘N, select projects as viewmode
via File > Quick Open… ⌘O, projects, and make sure ‘Open in a new window’ is checked
