psidnell / ofexport Goto Github PK

Downloaded & unzipped.

Ran install & followed to best of my ability. (placed in my username dir. Initially there were errors but I seem to have resolved them. Now a terminal command completes w/o error but I can find any output.

Here's the command from "examples" on your site. (I want only to output flagged items and then I'm going to use GeekTool to get them to the Desktop):

ofexport -E -a done=any -I -t "flagged or (due='to tomorrow')" -o /tmp/ex8-due-or-flagged.taskpaper

I've run it with .taskpaper and then .txt as the last part of the command and then searched for anything created with those extensions and found nothing. Please let me know if there's more I should be looking for or anything I could do. As a note, I haven't set up the Hazel Rule since I think it needs the output to act on and it doesn't exist yet, but perhaps that's wrong.

Thanks

I use .todo as the extension for my TaskPaper files, so I tried to tell ofexport to write a file with this extension using the taskpaper-lite template, but this throws an error:

$ ofexport -T taskpaper-lite -o ~/Desktop/Test-taskpaper-lite.todo --open
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "~/.../ofexport/src/main/python/ofexport.py", line 258, in <module>
                raise Exception ('unknown format ' + fmt)
    Exception: unknown format todo

Just installed ofexport.

Three questions:
Is there any way to output only tasks that are available (or alternatively, exclude completed tasks)?

Is there any way to output the tasks that would be included in a Perspective?

Is there a way to only include the task name and due date in the output? (no notes, no, defer date, etc)

I think maybe I have a corrupted db but I'm at a loss on ideas to fix it. I'm using OmniFocus 2 with a database that migrated with me through the various betas of OmniFocus 2.

Only some of my folders are seen but many are not. I get the following trace back in terminal when trying to run ofexport without any parameters:

ValueError: year=800 is before 1900; the datetime strftime() methods require year >= 1900

Any thoughts on how I can understand what is broken and fix it? I'm trying to come up with a query that can find the tasks with the offending date prior to 1900 but no joy so far.

Hi
I have upgraded Omnifocus to the version 2 from the Mac App store
ofexport still use my old database generated before I upgraded
I guess I need to edit of export.json but I don't know the path I need to add/correct
Thx for your help

I see context mode is not documented, but it shows up in the command line help so I tired using it and got the following error:

$ ofexport -o /Users/tmarkiewicz/Documents/OmniFocus/index.html --tfi --tci none --tse 'from tomorrow' --prune -F -C
--tfi = Task flagged includes flagged

visitor.begin_any (task)
File "/Users/tmarkiewicz/scripts/ofexport/visitors.py", line 69, in begin_any
item.attribs[SELECTED] = item.parent.attribs[SELECTED]
KeyError: 'visitors.selected'

My use case is showing a flagged view of tasks that aren't in the future. It works great in the regular project mode though (thanks!!).

Hi
What is the command to export the task title only (without the associated note)
thx
