What information is lost in OmniFocus when backing up to a textual format?
- dijit 6y agoInside the link to the .ofocus teardown you can see references to task parallelisation, along with "rankings", "project"-scopes and so on. All of this is lost on export/import from .taskpaper, since there's no easy taskpaper representation of such data. Representing this as a "backup" implies that it can be completely recovered, but that would certainly not be the case, this is an export, a new, lossy, representation of data. That is also assuming that you consistently export to .taskpaper and not just rely on the default format - which is what everyone and there mum is going to be doing. Because consistently exporting to plaintext is not a common workflow.
