Dear Preston et al:

I really love this app, but have had trouble getting it to work
reliably. I decided to try wiping my ToodleDo and starting again,
because I was getting a "can't create task" error. I wiped
successfully, but when I ran OFTD afterwards I got the following:

5/1/08 2:55:32 PM OFTD[4321] ________________________Run: Thursday,

And then I get a message in OmniFocus that it is unable to properly
add the new folder. FWIW, the folder "Single Tasks" is in fact
present now on my ToodleDo account, although there's nothing in it.

Thanks for any help.

Best wishes,
David

I'm getting the same error.

I'm getting the same error (Failed to create folder), with essentially
identical log messages. The last few lines in the Event Log when I
run the script in Script Editor are:

tell application "System Events"
get XML file "BotBook:private:var:folders:N8:N8BA87DeHrisUK6W0YCjck++
+TI:TemporaryItems:result.xml"
XML file "BotBook:private:var:folders:N8:N8BA87DeHrisUK6W0YCjck++

exists value of XML element 1 of XML file

To add to the diagnosis, the result.xml file contains only the XML
identifier tag:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I've checked out the code, and it was a bug in the Toodle server. I
reported and the developer fixed it within a couple hours!

Sorry for the delay in addressing this...
