OmniOutliner 2.2.6 Suggestions
Copy and paste multi-column selections
When copy and pasting a multiple-column selection to a document with less columns, there should be some note that columns beyond what's in the destination document will not be pasted. Ideally, I'd like to see a pop-up window or preference pane that gave the options to paste only the data that fits, add columns to accommodate additional data, or to cancel or not allow this operation at all.
Implement option to view notes as end-of-page or end-of-document footnotes
As is, they're just kind of stuck there under the line item. That could get unwieldy and messy in a longer document.
Page view
I would be nice to be able to see the document as it would be printed out, similar to MS Word's page view or the default view in AppleWorks.
Allow greater date flexibility
I wanted to use just a year + month set up using a date field, but was unable to do that.
More ways to automatically set the date field of a row
For instance, a pop-up for priority might be better set to "Medium" rather than just blank, as is the current case. This could apply to date fields and others as well.
Allow styles to change the fonts
I kind of thought this was what it was supposed to do but wasn't able to figure out how to do it. I suspect I might be missing something, but if not I'd like to see this in a future release.
Allow more than just check or not checked for the check boxes
I'd like to see and X for things that you decided NOT to do. That's not to say you didn't complete it, nor is it to say that you complete it, but something else. I could also see people wanting a question mark and some other sorts of status markers. You could easily set up a preference for each checkbox set that would say what are the things: nothing, check, X, ? or whatever the user wanted. Then the user would pick which would be the default start of a new line and what the order of clicks would be. Behavior could easily be devised to make the checkboxes that are a sum of the sub-checkboxes work properly.

More ways to automatically set the date field of a row
- Allow the checking of status checkbox to automatically set a date field in the same row. This will let users know what day they completed an item without having to write the date in themselves.
- Allow the date field to be set by the date the row is created. This will make it easier to set the appropriate starting date of an item since you often will not have to write in the year or month by hand.
- Allow calculations. For instance, if you have a date field for a starting date, and you want something to go for 7 days, you could have a date column as is, a day (as opposed to date) column next to it and the third column would be the end date which would by the first column + 7 days. It would also be nice to see days of the week calculated out.
