Looking for OneNote add-ins/power toys/ api implementations/ etc.

[Kathy J]

I am trying to develop a list of existing OneNote add-ins. So far, I know of
four:
1) PPT2One (Jeff Borlik's PPT importer)
2) RSS2OneNote
3) Send to OneNote from Outlook
4) Send to OneNote from IE

I know there have to be more out there. Can anyone help me find them?

I am looking for them for several reasons: web site list, personal use,
OneNote training, and the book. If you have one that you are working on but
haven't Prod yet, replying here will get you lots of exposure at once....

Spell check got me: "haven't Prod yet" should have been "haven't PRed yet"

I created a few PowerToys. You can find them at:

Thanks Darron,

Those are invaluable addons!!! Your IE to OneNote is better than the one
Microsoft provides. I like the screenshot of the webpage better than the
text being copied.

Did I say thank you already?... thank you!

 

[Gerry]

thanks for posting this. The ability to send a web page to OneNote as an
image may be exactly what I am looking for because the IE2Onenote that has
been available from Microsoft does not retain the look and feel of the web
page as discussed in a previous thread. Assuming that the image approach
will avoid this problem, my question now is will OneNote be able to
index/search the text of the web page image? This is a key requirement for
me, e.g., the way that web pages "printed" to the Windows Notes Writer on
Tablet PCs does.

Darron is too modest.

One of those "toys" is the grail of OneNote: The universal printer driver
that works like the Journal printer driver on the Tablet PC.

Well Done Darron, and Thanks.

Hello, everyone

Indeed, what I read is inviting. I have a question: must I uninstall the MS
version in order for Darron's toy to work? I have an icon on my IE but, when
clicked, apparently it doesn't do anyrthing. Must I look for the copied web
pages in a specific file?

Thanks for your help

 

[D Devlin]

Welcome. I think of it more of an addition than a replacement. It
scratches
a different itch. I have an IE2OneNote (text scraper) that I wrote that is
similar to the one released by Microsoft. The issue is that you are at the
mercy of the OneNote formatting engine when it comes to importing html.

[D Devlin]

There is currently no optimal solution for adding a searchable image to
OneNote via the import API. I could dump the output from the printed
document as text, but if you thought the IE2OneNote import was bad,
this is just plain ugly.

Darron

 

[D Devlin]

You do not need to uninstall the Microsoft IE2OneNote plug-in. Both
plug-ins can coexist peacefully. Look in the WebImageCaptures.one
section in your main folder. If there is still nothing there, please
contact
me directly as you may have found a site that needs some special handling
that I will need to incorporate into the plug-in.

Darron

 

[Gerry]

Thanks, but its too bad that the text of the web page can't be made
searchable and retain its look and feel. Tablet PC users can do this by
"printing" to the Windows Journal Notes Writer, but this results in us being
forced to keep our notes in two places: In Windows Jounal for notes based
on web pages, and OneNote for everything else. Maybe OneNote should be
called TwoNotes <grin>

2) RSS2OneNote

I've found all kinds of info about this but I haven't found the link to
download it. Perhaps someone could point me to it?

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
I checked with RSS2OneNote's developer (Omar Shahine). The tool is not quite
ready for release yet. He'll let us know when it is.
