I love OneNote and use it constantly. Here's my wish list, so far, on
features I'd like to see added to it:
- A simple way to add a link to a file in the file system or a page in a Web
site (maybe I'm actually talking about a shortcut). The link would display
the file name and an icon representing the file type. I could then add notes
around or in the link element. I would rather, for example, link to a
nicely-formatted Word or PDF file than import either into OneNote. Another
option would be to actually be able to add a page (tabbed on the right with
regular OneNote pages) for the non-OneNote document. In my examples, under a
page tab in OneNote, Word, Acrobat, or IE could be called from within
OneNote to display their respective documents in native format, but within
the information- and knowledge-management framework of OneNote.
- A select tool (I posted this separately earlier). As in a drawing
program, you can choose this tool, cirle the elements that you want to
handle, and then move them (or cut, or copy) as a unit.
- A grouping tool. Often, paragraphs that I write get broken down by
OneNote as separate elements. I would like to be able to select them and
combine or group them.
- Some right-click options in the OneNote folder drop-down. I keep trying
to do this, expecting that I can create a new folder or perform some other
task in this view.
- The ability to float a toolbar under the page tabs on the right side. In
most folders, I only have a few documents, so this is unused space. Putting
it on the right or left waste a lot of valuable OneNote writing space.
