OmniOutliner3, Omnishadow and Shadow on palm - help please
joej | Feb 14 2007
I am trying to get Omnioutliner to export my outlines to ShadowPlan on my palm. I installed Omnishadow and all went well. I am using Omnioutliner3 Pro (demo) since the non-Pro version is what came on my Mac and I read the Pro version is needed. When I have an OO outline open in front of me, I go to the applescript menu, select the "Shadow-Plan Save" option to try to export the outline and nothing happens except for a tone sounds. I look and there is no file in the "Files to Install" directory of the Palm user directory. In fact, I cannot find a file of the name of the OO file anywhere except for the original. No pdb, xml, or other file is exported anywhere. I emailed the author of Omnishadow but have had no reply to date (and he is clear that the scripts are not necessarily supported). I verified the Omnishadow prefs 3x. Questions: -Does OO3 Pro need to be registered for this to work? Any ideas? Thanks very much... 3 Comments

 Error converting Shadow XMl to pdbSubmitted by writerati on March 25, 2007 - 6:11pm.

In my experience, that's exactly what you have to do. I haven't used OmniShadow in a while, but I do remember that the "Shadow Plan Save" option didn't work for me. I saved as Shadow XML, opened in Shadow Desktop, and it worked fine. The error (I think) has to do with a bug when Shadow Desktop converts an XML file to a .pdb. In my command-line tests, if I converted a file using
and then hotsynced the pdb file, I got an error in HotSync Manager. However, if I opened the same XML file in Shadow Desktop and manually saved as a .pdb, it worked fine. I was able to sync the file without issues. OmniShadow tries to run the same -xlate converstion, so that *might* be where the problem lies. Try saving as XML and then converting it manually, and see if that works. » POSTED IN:
