SOMMOP  Just a quickie comment. For somebody like me, who has paid for OmniWeb, it is very frustrating to see how often Omni releases updates for OmniOutliner and how little forward movement there has been for OmniWeb. This suggests to me that Omni has pulled their best talent off of OmniWeb and is leaving it stranded as a kind of orphan product.   
(Version 3.9 beta 1)

LEV  Links? Hello? Links? LINKS? You know: like this that?

I can't understand why, when Tinderbox and Notebook and Notetaker and DevonThink and Scrivener and VoodooPad and TAO and Curio and all those other apps which take into account that one way of managing information is by LINKING information, Omni still haven't stuck links -- LINKS -- into Outliner. Oh, I forgot. That one other thing which has links. You know. The interweb.

Just to clarify, this comment is about LINKS.

May we have them? I mean, they *have* been invented already.  
(Version 3.7.2)

JAZZADDICT  While 3.7 is welcome I think it's long overdue. I think they should of had this release out back when 10.5 was released; and 4.0 would be nice right about now. OmniOutliner should be further along in utilizing Leopard technologies (IMHO).

Still my Favorite outliner for the mac. :-)  
(Version 3.7)

TEKSESTRO  This is a fantastic little app, and a real gem among the outliners/listers available on the Mac.

My gripes with the program seem to be the same that other reviewers have:

* too long between updates - ok, this is not their flagship app, but they should not wait so long as to make their current userbase feel neglected. I remember when OmniGraffle and this were is more-or-less equivalent version numbers, and now there is already a huge discrepancy between them. OmniGraffle has increased in its complexity and list of functions, and even has some of OmniOutliner's capabilities built into it now...

* there are several *little* nagging problems, which have been pointed out by users (including me) over the years to the developers, and which remain without solution. Example: OmniOutliner has a "Duriation"-type column, but this 'duration' means only hours, days and months. I need to keep duration in MINUTES, and have it automatically total the minutes into hours. Not only does it refuse to do that, it insists on interpreting "33m" or "33 mins" or "33' " as 33 months. If I simply type '33', it interprets this as 'hours'. While this is not a *major* flaw, it is just one of several *pesky* little limitations, which should have been addressed a long time ago, and stop the program from going from 'good' to 'fantastic'.

OmniGroup, please, do give OmniOutliner some attention, and keep up the good work. It *is* appreciated.  
(Version 3.6.5)

SIMONM  This is one of 3 programs from Omni that do variations on the same theme (the others being OmniPlan and OmniFocus). Seems to me (and from what I've heard about excessive upgrade prices) that they're really only out there to make money. I can't believe they still try to charge for a web browser! Who would pay that? Their programs are OK but way over-priced. It wouldn't take a talented Mac programmer too long to make a similar app as this. I haven't seen it do anything I really need anyway.  
(Version 3.6.4)

DONKEYOTAY  I recently upgraded from Omnioutliner to OO Pro. I use it to run my (albeit simple) home & business accounts; keep a list of all serial numbers, several To Do lists. I particularly like the 'Default Clippings' Service. All my household projects start in Omnioutliner.

If you're running an Intel Mac with Omnioutliner pre-installed, you can upgrade to Pro rather than buy the full product. Also, 43folders.com & Screencastsonline.com are running discount codes (the latter code being SCREENCASTSONLINE for a 40% discount). I got an OO Pro upgrade for about $18.00 instead of $29.99.

DOUGEDDY  I love OmniOutliner but until they fix the print process I’m not sure I can use it. I have found TAO offers many of the same things I need but does not suffer from the print difficulties.

When OmniOutliner came out they said it would be the MORE replacement. So far I don’t see that. I want an outliner (forget the other stuff MORE had) that works and PRINTS as simply as MORE. I am a clergyperson and used to use MORE for my sermons (what a dream app — could easily move stuff around and print with no problem. Could change font size, spacing, etc. with such ease - and PRINT). OmniOutliner fails that print test.

Please understand - I LOVE Omni products. It is just the outliner has not reached the printing capabilities I need. I don’t have time to play the “90% scale” junk to get it to fit a page, print as laid out, and have it all fit ease I had with MORE.

PLEASE Omni - all I want is to have you at least meet OS9 print standards. Other than that, your program is A++++.

GERBER  Great outliner, extremely extendable into a variety of tasks.

For pure text "brainstorming" outlining, I think there's better products. This isn't MORE. However, for more general purpose outlining: task lists, project management worksheets, etc..., there are none which come close.

I use this program instead of text files to store all the random stuff in my life. It's quicker, prettier, and more functional than plain text!

This latest update adds some extremely helpful Applescript and Spotlight hooks which make it even easier to wedge OO into your daily workflow.  
(Version 3.6 beta 1)

TC  Slight problem with date entry - if I enter 3/10, it tends to interpret it as March 10, rather than October 3 - this is despite my machine having UK settings, where we use d/m/y rather than m/d/y.

The current beta of version 4 does it, too. Any chance of a fix, please?
