Same here, love the library, its really helpful. OmniPlan is a program designed to help you create logical, manageable project planning documents. They support is really swift in answering. I prefer Merlin’s use of screen space, but I think the Omni UI is overall better. Omniplan is more accessible, but has a more limited feature set (although Omniplan 3, in test at present, adds some major new features). I had some and they implemented them into newer iterations of the software. The latest version (Merlin Project 3) has some good UI improvements. You could write the support of Merlin Project ( to take that as a feature request. Omniplan suffers from the same sort of behaviour and it drives me crazy how difficult it seems to be to navigate speedily via keyboard. Maybe it's just because I'm so used to MS Project. I do understand that Return itself opens up the edit for the task name but frankly I'd see that happening far less than the requirement for a new task. They fixed it already, the newest updates don't show up with that behaviour.įor usability I'd also prefer to be able to hit Enter or Return for a new task - especially so in MindMap view where it seems somewhat tedious to be looking for 'Command-N' in every single instance. Presenting a schedule is generally useless when it comes to a group as detail swamps the message this avoids the necessity of keeping two different elements in sync. I'll look into this more as the immediate transition from MindMap to schedule is a great feature. I may be needing to do some project planning at home under OS X and was looking at OmniPlan and Merlin as the two most likely candidate apps. Most sites that I've worked on offer up 'templates' but they're often little more than lifecycle phase headings and not much more.
MERLIN PROJECT VS OMNIPLAN SOFTWARE
I suppose - having seen the feature - that I could build up something similar via OPML and then import (since some other software has that capability) but grabbing snippets of standard activity is fantastic and great for re-use.

For usability I'd also prefer to be able to hit Enter or Return for a new task - especially so in MindMap view where it seems somewhat tedious to be looking for 'Command-N' in every single instance. Shame that the 'On the Go' is a separate subscription (and the software is itself is subscription) but that debates been had. For all I know it's a limitation of the development software but it would be good to have it fixed (if it's an undesired behaviour rather than a limitation.) In Kanban view, a mouse-over on items in that view also offers up a fixed-width text box that just looks messy. There is a dialogue box (you need to select some categories) when switching to Kanban that, if you mouse over, has a rather mangled presentation of the text that I suspect is meant to be helpful half of the text is lost and it's not. And, by ugly bits I mean several 'pop-overs' that seem to dominate in the Kanban view.
