Basic Installation:
- Check to make sure you are running OmniOutliner Pro 3.6 (beta or final). If not, download and install it first.
- Quit OmniOutliner Pro.
- Quit Quicksilver (Perish thought… but it must be done. will be over in a moment, honest).
- Quit that dead end job that’s hold you down. (well, that’s optional, and there is income to consider, so maybe you should just silently resent the societal structures that compel you to such drudgery while quietly rebelling and sabotaging the machine from within. power to the people, yo.)
- Run the kGTD installer.
- If you plan on using the QS action, you should probably cover your bases by recompiling it. Open the Quicksilver action: ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/Send to kGTD.scpt in script editor (just double clicking on it should do the trick, hit “compile” and then save.
- Launch Quicksilver.
- Launch OmniOutliner Pro.
Then, if starting “from scratch” with kGTD:
- Open a new, blank OmniOutliner Pro document
- Open up OmniOutliner Pro’s document-inspector by pressing Command-4. Click the gear icon in it. Check “Document-Specific toolbar”. Add the kGTD icons to the now-mostly-blank toolbar. Add any other icons you want.
- Click Sync. The document will be built. Save it anyplace.
- Turn off automatic level styles from OmniOutliner Pro’s format menu.
- Open up the utility drawer for this document by pressing Control-Command-T.
- Save once more.
If upgrading an older kGTD document:
- Open your old kGTD document
- Reset your icons to remove the kGTD icons (yes, remove!) by control-clicking (or right clicking) on the toolbar of your document and choosing “customize toolbar” and then dragging up the “default set” of icons from the drop down. This resets the toolbar for all your non-kGTD documents.
- Open up OmniOutliner Pro’s document-inspector by pressing Command-4. Click the gear icon in it. Check “Document-Specific toolbar”. Add the kGTD icons to the now-mostly-blank toolbar. Add any other icons you want.
- Click Sync. The document will be upgraded. I recommend using the kGTD default styles when prompted.
- Make sure automatic level styles are turned off in OmniOutliner Pro’s format menu.
- You can now delete several “old” top level sections, including:
- About KGTD
- Reviews
- Trigger-Lists
