OmniFocus 4 - Fix Pending Project Review Dates

I was having some trouble after removing OmniFocus 3 and installing OmniFocus 4.
I tried changing tell application id "com.omnigroup.Omnifocus3 to tell application id "com.omnigroup.Omnifocus4, but parts of the script had been replaced with tokens like "«class FCDR»".
I was getting an error: Can’t set «class FCDR» to «class FCDs». Access not allowed.

I was able to fix it by installing OF3 again, then opening the script and copy/pasting the text of it into the script I was using for OF4..

I wonder if there is something about how Applescript stores binary versions of the script vs text?

In case it helps anyone in the future, here is the text of the script:

(*
	This script updates the next review date for pending projects.  Pending projects are those with start dates in the future.  For each such project, the script sets its next review date to its start date.
	
	Future enhancements:
		- add flag to allow not making review dates earlier than already scheduled
		- add code to move the review date for on-hold projects forward to the next weekly review day

property scriptSuiteName : "Curt’s Scripts"

tell application id "com.omnigroup.Omnifocus3"
	tell default document
		(* Moves next review date of any pending project to match its start date. *)
		set pendingProjects to (every flattened project whose (status is active status or status is on hold status) and defer date comes after (current date))
		repeat with i from 1 to count of pendingProjects
			tell item i of pendingProjects
				set next review date to defer date
			end tell
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

my notify("Review Dates Updated", "Review dates updated for all pending projects.")

(*
	Uses Notification Center to display a notification message.
	theTitle – a string giving the notification title
	theDescription – a string describing the notification event
*)
on notify(theTitle, theDescription)
	display notification theDescription with title scriptSuiteName subtitle theTitle
end notify

And you can change "com.omnigroup.Omnifocus3" to "com.omnigroup.Omnifocus4"

Request: Please add a Readme explaining the scripts

As the title suggests. I appreciate all your work and use some of your scripts. That being said I think it would make sense to add a readme to this repo, since a) not all people will find their way to your website b) not all scripts are explained on your website.

Thank you for your consideration!

Request: Update populate template placeholders script for Omnifocus 3

As the title suggests: Since Omnifocus 3 is out, it would be great if populate template placeholders would be updated to support tags. Thanks for yoour considderation!
