A hugely helpful friend of mine has managed to add the fix to Rob Trew’s script. It works! And now you can export from Omnifocus to Merlin. Install it into your scripts. Open Merlin then hop back to Omnifocus. Select the project you want to export, hit the script and BINGO! It will appear in Merlin.
Change that was needed from RobTrew’s as follows:
Replaced:
set blnContext to ((selected view mode identifier) of oWin is not
equal to pPROJECT)
With:
set blnContext to ((selected sidebar tab) of oWin is not equal to
pPROJECT)
And now it works. All the very best. This is fab. Scroll down to find Rob Trew’s updated script below:
-- Illustrative draft Ver 0.0
-- Copies anything selected in Omnifocus (Project or Context View) into MERLIN 2
-- Note that the whole sub-tree is copied, so only 'parent' elements need to be selected.
-- The destination is a new Merlin 2 document.
