Make OmniFocus as a checklist App.
- Maintain multiple checklist templates.
- Create a checklist in a single or multiple projects by selecting a pre-built template.
- Notes, Parallel and 'Complete with last action' properties and tags from the template are preserved while creating a checklist.
This plugin depends on the omnifocus-plugin-libdev library.
Clone the repo and link it in the Automation Configuration dialog in OmniFocus, or add it as a git submodule to the default plugin folder of OmniFocus. I recommend the latter for an easier synchronization with other devices.
cd ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~omnigroup~OmniFocus/Documents/Plug-Ins
git init
# Install the dependent library, ignore this if you have already installed it.
git submodule add https://github.com/xbot/omnifocus-plugin-libdev.git libdev
git submodule add https://github.com/xbot/omnifocus-plugin-checklist.git checklist
# For updating:
git submodule update --remote --recursive
- Create a folder for checklist templates.
- Create as many projects as you want under that folder, each project is considered as a checklist template.
- Set the folder as the template folder in the plugin's preferences dialog. (Click the menu item while holding the
Ctrl
key) - Select an ordinary project and trigger the plugin action, then choose a template in the dropdown list and press the
Create
button.
