Another suggestion for the next version of OneNote

[Grant Robertson]

Provide a button or context menu entry to allow us to easily open the
folder that contains the current section. I store lots of other files in
those folders and currently I have to access them by digging down from
the root of my hard drive in Windows Explorer.

I suggested this 3 years ago.

OneNote at times attempts to market itself as a "Place for all
information" which is of course more hope than reality. There are
many reasons why it fails this litmus test, but the very poor
interaction with the filesystem is a major reason why.

I have suggested that right clicking on a section or Notebook ..
should have an option "Explore (with windows explorer)"

Grant I think you are barking up the wrong tree here ... You would be
wise to look to other software to be the glue that holds your
information together and just make sure that it indexes .one files.
Tweaking OneNote to work as a entire information space will leave you
with significant limitations.

Does anyone know a program that indexes the ON2007 file format? Does X1 do
it? How about the free versions or Google Desktop? Then there's WDS...

WDS is hard to figure out -- for me. It *appears* to have features, but I
can't figure out exactly why it doesn't do what I thought would happen, and I
don't have time to pick my way through learning what will work -- on my own.
