Create/open OmniOutliner notebooks from command line
I like to use OmniOutliner as a lab notebook, and I like to be able to create/open notebooks from the command line. The OS X ‘open’ command will open an existing file, but I didn’t see any obvious way to run OmniOutliner from the command line and tell it to create a new file. So I created an empty OmniOutliner file and dropped in ~/Documents/template, then wrote a little script to copy that template and open it if it doesn’t exist, or open the pre-existing file if it does. Simple and effective.
