In case anybody uses the workflow created by Teddy Svoronos (OF: Parse Tasks), here is the script edited to work with OF2 (key changes were to change the application name and use the new command “parse tasks into”:
on alfred_script(q)
set theText to q
tell application “com.omnigroup.OmniFocus2”
activate
tell default document
parse tasks into with transport text theText
end tell
end tell
end alfred_script
When i ran script, it froze my alred for a second and then asked me where is com.omnigroup.OmniFocus2
First time i had seen something like that happen. i did then choose the appropriate omnifocus in the dialogue box. i also had one on my backup drive. It then worked.
Is this a standard way to call omnifocus because haven’t had this issue with other scripts.
Not much difference, really. Using Alfred means one less shortcut to remember (my muscle memory is well trained to Alfred at this point). The quick entry might give more options (project, start dates context…) but I usually just add those when I process my inbox.
I don’t know if this is true - but doesn’t the quick entry have to have OF running? Using the Alfred shortcut doesn’t rely on having OF open, so works all the time.
