Omnifocus 3 for Mac, Calendar sync

After transferring to a new MacBook and then upgrading from OF2 to OF3 I now have two versions of OF on my MacBook. OF3 & OF2. I am regularly using OF3. As a former OF2 calendar sync user I am getting ghosts in my Calendars OF Reminders calendar. Creating an action in OF3 with a due date creates a reminder in the OF Reminders calendar. Change the due date of the action in OF3 and the OF Reminders calendar now has a ghost reminder. Temporary work around seems to be to close OF 3 and open OF 2. After allowing a few minutes for synching the ghost entries in the OF Reminders calendar are cleared.

It was unintentional. I moved a user account from the old MacBook to the new MacBook. Downloaded and installed OF3. When down both versions were still on the new MacBook.

New Omnifocus user as of version 3, and I find it hard to believe that this used to be possible but was dropped.
+1 to bring it back.
(As they suggest, I also emailed support@omnigroup.com about it.)

+1 for this. I plan my calendar also based on the workload of tasks, I need to keep both app open and cross reference to manage my calendar. It’s a pain without.

Hi there
Than you for creating this script, I am trying to implement but have come upon a snag. I am new to OmniFocus and have almost zero experience in coding.
-
I have copy and pasted the text into apple script
-
Then created an Omnifocus calendar on the Mac calendar app.
-
Added the “OmniFocus” into name of calendar
When I clicked play this ‘Script Error’ appeared… The variable_default duration is not defined.
From reading the article I guess that meant 30 minutes which is also a good time for me so I inserted “30 minutes”
Clicked play again and this ‘Scrip Error’ appeared… ‘The variable start_date is not defined.’
The ScriptEditor then highlighted in the area shown below
– BUILD CALENDAR DATE
set end_date to task_due
set start_date to start_date - (task_estimate * minutes)
I can’t work out what to put in start_date as I am thinking that each start date would be different, I have also re read the article so if there is anything I’ve missed I apologise.
Thank you for your considerations

Hello again,
After adding the 30 in, this popup appeared with the highlighted text shown on the screen shot
‘Script Error Calendar got an error: Can’t make -1770 into type date.’
If it is any constellation I have got a Udemy course on Apple Scripts and (hopefully) soon will be much more capable.
Thank you again, I really do appreciate this.

+1 For calendar sync. Omni Focus isn’t a calendar and doesn’t excel there at all. I have my own favourite app for that, being Fantastical. If I can’t see my tasks with due dates on a calendar alongside my other calendar entries, then what’s the point of using OF at all? There isn’t for me. I won’t be purchasing until this works. I came to the forum searching for how to send a task to my calendar. I’m shocked to see that it isn’t possible. This is rather basic functionality for software at OF’s price point. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if OF doesn’t sync with OP, which I was considering getting together–but also feel that OF should have a visual timeline as it does have projects, after all. I’m just baffled at all the things OF isn’t vs its price. Sorry for being negative. I really wanted this to work and it’s only my opinion.
