OneNote Testing

I just tried it out and its awesome :) ... Just one thing though, if the powertoy didn't close on it's own, it would be even better. While reviewing notes I go back and forth a lot and relaunching it every time is a little irritating. I know it's a favorites powertoy, and technically not meant for a lot of navigation but it has a really nice interface and I prefer it over the existing navigation structure.

Very nice plugin.  Is it possible to display the bookmarks within a toolbar?  Like the favorites toolbar in safari/firefox?

Glad to know you guys like it.

To Anirudh, I was planning to make the favorites center window as top most in the next version.

To Daniel, OneNote 2007 add-in framework doesn't support shortcuts but I will see what I can do by system hotkeys. As for the shortcuts in the favorites center window, the alternative solution could be: open the favorites center, press down key, and type the favorite's name, then the favorite will be selected.

To Jeremy, OneNote 2007 add-in framework doesn't support display anything(including menu or other windows) in its toolbar.

too bad I can't have it in any toolbar of the full page view mode :-(

To Seth, the addin was designed to use OneNote folder in IE favorites as its storage. So in the OneNote Favorites Center you can access the IE favorites which would be shown as the type of Page and listed under Wild Favorites in the TreeView.

Wonderful addition!

I found it also can work with Firefox, if you are using the PlainOldFavorites Addon (since the ON Favorites Powertoy bookmarks are also pushed to the IE Favorites).

I am having real difficulty loading this plug-in into OneNote.

I have booted under "Administrator" and installed the plug-in. When I installed it, I checked the box that it be made available to all users.

When I run OneNote under the administrator, I see the plug-in. And I also see in the options section that the plug-in was installed.

When I open windows Vista as a user, and run OneNote, the plug-in toolbar buttons are not installed. And it is not mentioned in the options section that lists all of the plug-ins -- which incidentally are none. (I have the merge pages plug-in that seems to have the same problem.)

I have even tried additionally to install the add-in as a user, and I get a message that the program has successfully installed -- but again, there are no toolbar buttons available and the plug-in is not listed in the options section.

What have I done wrong? It's really tough feeling stupid :-( I hate getting defeated by technology.

excellent work - thanks!

a minuscule suggestion: why segregate the different types (section, page) in the display, I'd prefer a single display that branches off more for pages, less for sections, even less for notebooks. I believe this is the view that I would be using the most.

"there would be no way to expand/collapse a single tree node", I meant there would be no way to expand/collapse a single tree node *by mouse*.

I was just thinking today, what I'd love would be a word wheel search for navigating to a folder in OneNote - a keystroke combination (I know! I hope this gets fixed in 14) for a dialog or even a GoTO box in the toolbar and as you type a couple of characters it word wheel filters down to matching folders and finally hihglights the one matching folder and you hit Enter to jump to it. SpeedFiler has this option for Outlook and it's amazingly useful (www.claritude.com).

Like Julie, I am having problems installing the OneNotes Favorites Powertoy.  The account from which I use OneNote does not have administrative privs.  When I try to install the powertoy, I get a UAC dialog.  When I give the UAC dialog an administrative account and its password, the powertoy does not get installed for my account (even if I choose the install for "everybody" option instead of "just me").

I'd love it if the next version's install works for folks who are trying to use Vista properly - i.e. from an account without Administrative privs.

Great, practical tool! thank you. I'm not sure I understood all the preceding comments... I use one note with ink on a tablet PC a lot! It would be very handy to have the Favorites Center available in full screen mode. Then I can easily jump around in my Favorite notebooks using The Favorite center. Now, I have to switch out of full screen mode, navigate to the page & then go back to full Screen.

Love this add-on... We have alot of shared notebooks in our school so this will come in handy for teachers and students.

One feature I would suggest is the ability to organize favourites into folders like you can do in IE.  Currently, if you try to put your OneNote favourites into subfolders, they just disappear from the OneNote Favourites Center altogether.

I spoke too soon. Actually MOVING the OneNote Folder from its position in IE Favorites into Links stops it working properly because the program seems to lose track of its path. If you go to OneNote itself and go to Favorites it tells you that it is empty.

I have now (temporarily I hope) taken it out of Links and back where it wants to be and it likes that.  I would love to have my OneNotes Favorites folder on my IE toolbar. Must be solvable - can you help!

The end of the year means it is time to recap the powertoys the test team created during 2008. While

Just in case you want to reply, if not, i will search on a bit longer.

Thanks,

Margaretha

Love it, thank you so much.  I teach so many classes and when students call I need to be right there in sections.  This helps wonderfully.  Thank you for your creativeness!!!
