Just restarted. No bueno. I still get a flash then no report. Tried it with growl on and off. No notification whatsoever. I'm on OS X 10.6.8 & OF 1.10.3.

Dan! I owe you a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone. Fantabulous script! Thanks so much for offering it up!

One issue: while I can run the script from the applescript editor (by hitting the play button after I select some actions in OF), I can't do it from the installed script in the OF script folder.

Basically right now I'm a loser and I want to be a winner like you guys! :)

I followed these instructions to a tee: http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=7453

The script is in the right place (I think): ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/OmniFocus/Total Time.scpt

So when I click on the scripts menu bar icon, the script shows up as an OF script. I click that puppy, and my OF window flashes, but nothing happens.

Any ideas? I'm going to restart. If that fixes it, I'll report back. :)

Hi Leila,

The script will count all selected items (excluding the Grouping folders), including projects if they're showing. So in your project view if you select the following:

Project
- Action 1
- Action 2

...the script will count three items. But switching to context mode, you may only see the actions, so that would be counted as two items.

Hope this helps.

Hi. Thanks so much for this script! I love it and use it regularly. I recently encountered a problem that I hope you can help with.

From the Perspectives menu, I chose "All Items." The totals for all my tasks was 56 hours 21 minutes for 1027 items.

When I change it to be in context mode, I use the view bar to change it so that things are ungrouped AND availability is set to any status. This time when I run the script for the total time, it shows 56 hrs 21 minutes 886 items.

The time is the same - but not the number of items. Why would this be?

Thanks so much. Leila

30mins...

It seems that after 30min the script adds the 1h.

Thanks for the script. Just one problem: I just selected two actions, one of 30min and another of 10min ... on Growl teh output is 1h 40min?! Where did this 1h come from?

Thanks!
