OneNote PowerToys: Waiting for… TreeView + Title Change + Move and more

  • Metatone · 2 years ago
    I don't know about others, but I for one tend to keep a lot of stuff all on one level, because there isn't an easy way to navigate around deep tree structures in OneNote. Sadly I don't have the coding talent to help out with this projectm but I rather think it could be a boon to a lot of people.

    I would definitely use a treeview powertoy - I prefer being able to view the data I'm keeping in a tree because it helps me remember visually.

    Brilliant. Keep up the good work. I have recently flipped over to OneNote because of its wonderful formating capabilities that other note tools don't allow... but am DREADFULLY missing the treeview capability. I am sure you know that OneNote 2007 has a limited tree view capability in the left gutter - but it isn't anything like you are developing.

    I will be watching with keen interest to see how you progress!!

    I’d love to see a feature "fit to page" or "Fit to Window".

    ahhhh hope this is not a stupid comment but I'm a bit frustrated that I have not been able to do something that I imagine is pretty simple. I have a vast directory structure full of older backed up OneNote tabs and files. As you know OneNote stores it’s contents in traditional directory structures and even after OneNote the application is gone, all the “OneNotes” still exist as .one files and these files are nicely organized in folders that OneNote used to see as tabs… So how do take this vast directory of files, nicely organized into folders and tell OneNote to open the directory at the root folder and make a NoteBook out of that Root folders directory tree? I’m sure this must be simple but I’ve been unable to figure it out or find a solution on the web… Please don’t tell me I’ll have to open each individual .one file…

    Steve, with OneNote 2007 just File -> Open -> Notebook, click ONCE on the root folder and then click Open.

    Nice tool.
    I can hardly work with it, however:
    On my system (Vista Business 32) the background of the pop-up window is black, the tree-structure comes in a very pale white and there is no text visible.
    Only the title of the currently open page in ON is shown (inverted, black on white) and there is an "About" hyperlink in the upper right corner. No other text is visible except "on mouse over"; then appears a hyperlink next to the tree-node.
    When clicking on the link, the name is shown white on blue.
    I found no way to change the settings fro the colors.
