The Omni Mouth » Sending confidential documents to Omni, and the gibberish-izer


  If you choose “Send Feedback” from the Help menu in OmniPlan, you’ll get an option to include a copy of your document with your email. If you’d like to gibberish-ize it, OmniPlan will replace all your tasks, resources, and notes with random boring names like “Task 17″ and “Resource 5″. This way, we can take a look at the structure of your document and help you figure out any problems you might be having, but all your confidential information is protected.


Great idea. I’ve often been reluctant to send any kind of “~/Library” data even to developers I trust, because it necessarily passes through the electronic hands of people I may not know or trust. This is a such a clever solution to get around that. Love those OmniFolk.
