Workflow for new OmniFocus 2

[timlawson]

I have been trying to get the 'todo' workflow adapted for the new Omnifocus 2 since it came out. This thread has some advice and recommended script changes but they are not working for me:

Has anyone managed to get a good Omnifocus 2 workflow going? If so please can you share. Many thanks.

Fixed it!  Cut and paste error in the script - my fault, it now works fine!

Don't forget to use the last script on page 2 of the thread and re-start Alfred.

Thanks all.

Hi Tim, 

 

Any chance you could give me a hand to get this working on my system?

 

Cheers

Does anyone know if I must have Omnifocus Pro in order for workflows to work?

Is there a way to work with it with the standard version?

 

Thanks,

It depends on how the workflow is written. I haven't looked at v2 in a little while, but if I remember correctly, the pro version of v2 was going to implement a nice applescript dictionary that the standard version was going to leave out (specifically for situations like these to push you to get pro). So, if the workflow uses the applescript dictionary that pro provides but standard doesn't, then the answer is: no.

Thanks. 

Another question - do you think it can be possible to make a similar workflow but which will take the selection (message in Mail.app, file etc.) and insert it to the new task as an attachment?

(Similar to Jack James' "r this" command in Reminders workflow)

It probably is possible. But, again, it depends on the Applescript support in OF2. To figure out how to do it from the Mail side of things, look to see what the Reminders workflow does, or download a copy of benice5000's MailURL workflow to see how that one works.
