@Damian The toolbar icon is determined by the icon of the script file. So changing the script file’s icon in the Finder should do the trick. (Not sure if you’d need to remove/re-add to toolbar after the change or if it would automatically recognize the edit.)

Re: my previous comment, I mean so they aren’t the same as icons used for other things on the toolbar…

Thanks for this and also the snooze script Dan. They are handy. Here’s a question that shows my ignorance about scripting. Is there a simple way to change the toolbar icon for these two scripts so they aren’t the same? – Damian

Thanks, this works for me with OmniFocus 1.6.1. I only tried it with one item at a time so far…

Big Cloits—I’m sorry to hear you had trouble with it. Others have reported unexpected behavior when dealing with large lists. Because I primarily use the script on a couple items at once, this issue hasn’t been a big deal for me. I keep hoping Omni will add this functionality built-in, but in the meantime an updated script might be in order…

Just a heads up that this script did some light damage to my due dates, nothing serious but not exactly harmless either. I selected several items, deferred them en mass for 1 day, some worked but most did not and I got the error noted by Manuel. I continued selecting and attempting to defer, getting a couple more to defer each time. But after a few iterations, I realized that the script was somehow still acting on previously deferred items, resulting in a real mess of incorrect start and due dates. Arg. This script is most definitely not rock solid. It’s been working fine for me on one or two deferrals at a time, but it really choked on multiple items.

Manuel—glad you enjoy the script! And I'm sorry for my delayed response.

I've encountered the same issue and haven't had any success debugging. I may contact OmniGroup for support.

Fantastic! I have been looking into something like this for a long time, having requested it from the Omni people as a toolbar option. Well here it is! However I am getting an error wnen selecting several actions and trying to snooze one day.

AppleScript reported the following error: OmniFocus got an error: Can’t get tree 15 of tree 1 of content of document window id 448 of document id "oeJ-vPFksgV". Invalid index.

Do you know how to fix this?

Thanks

Manuel
