And your link could focus on that outline if you don’t want to see anything else. Opening this file can launch OO showing the one document or it can launch the OO database with everything, like OmniFocus. Wouldn’t a link to an OO database outline be a solution for grouping related documents? If you have an OO file grouped with other files, you still need OmniOutliner to open it. Then you can search, tag and annotate as much as you want. You can set up a watched folder, and every time you save an OO document to that folder, it will be auto-imported into Devon. If you really want a database with tagging, etc. It brings them up quickly, and you can refine from there to search for a particular outline. I also have a saved search in Houdah Spot that finds every OO document on every hard drive. It’s very rare for something to get lost.
I have a Hazel function that files any OO document found on the Desktop into Documents>OmniOutliner. You can solve these problems with the current version of OO, using some helper apps.
I prefer individual outlines, because of the flexibility it offers to group outlines with other related documents. OmniFocus does a great job with this, and I’m spoiled by it.Īny thoughts on this as a possible future for OmniOutliner? I can’t edit them anyway without the app itself, so the app might as well manage the data for me. When it comes to advanced proprietary awesome apps, like the ones from The Omni Group, I don’t want to manage the files. If I manage files, I prefer them to be plain text because they will open anywhere. I think having a database like OmniFocus or Bear is easier to work with for many occasions. It requires disciplined habits or it will become a mess.
