You should be prompted to create a new database, either from a sync server (usually Omni Sync Server, or perhaps your own WebDAV server) or simply by setting up the default database locally.

Close this Finder window and relaunch OmniFocus.

In the Finder window, delete the file named OmniFocus.ofocus, as well as any files ending in lock.

In the menu that pops up, select the second item (a folder named 'OmniFocus'): Hold down the Command key and click on the small icon at the top center of your OmniFocus window.Once you're satisfied with the state of your backups, you can remove your current OmniFocus database: You can create a new OmniFocus 2 database by following the steps as mentioned in the Omni Group thread, Create new database / start from scratch? The default workflow is to use the pre-created database along-with the built-in backup feature. The service also comes with a neat dashboard widget to keep track of the last sync and force a new one.Apparently, there is no way to create a separate new file/database in Omni Focus 2. Please keep in mind that the greatest thing about Spootnik is that changes are bilateral, whatever changes on Basecamp, so does in Omnifocus and vice versa. Depending on the account you choose refresh times may vary, but the process will be reliable and fast no matter what your plan is. Once you’ve signed up for an account and authorized the access to Basecamp, you just have to choose with projects you want to be synced, and if any other project before that date should be automatically synced too. Your personal stuff is synced and doesn’t appear in Basecamp, the Basecamp projects you pick up are synced and updated back and forth between the BC and Omnifocus.

Spootnik is, basically, a WebDAV server that enables you to a) sync your Omnifocus databasea across multiple devices just like you would do with MobileMe and b) sync Basecamp projects with Omnifocus, letting you work with them from the desktop within Omnifocus. There’s a web service for that, and it’s called Spootnik. Now, if you use both Basecamp and Omnifocus, there’s a solution. Maybe you even created a few team projects inside it, and now you’re unsure whether they should go into Basecamp as well?

You’ve gotten used to it, and migrating everything to Basecamp just wouldn’t feel right. MacStories is no exception to that.īut on the other hand, I guess you also have a GTD application sitting in your dock, just because you find the GTD method comfortable and suitable to your needs. Yeah, that’s exactly the greatest selling point of Basecamp, and the reason why thousands of people around the world use it on a daily basis. If you have a team to manage, I bet you’re using 37signals’ Basecamp to keep everything under strict control yet enabling every single component of your team access the app and keep you updated about his tasks.
