I am a graphic artsit.
Much of my weekly routine consist of gathering information from people
regarding projects I am working on - taking notes and making sketches
alongside the notes.
While I understand and agree that OneNote should not attempt to provide
'finish' that is better done in professional design apps (nor would I switch
if it did). For sketching I expect my TabletPC to function *at the very
least* like a piece of paper and a fistful of color pens.
Right now with OneNote there is a limit on the number and type of pens you
can define, and quickly defining a new one (color picking, changing
thickness, changing transparency) is cumbersome.
If I could have a floating pallete with a small color picker, a weight
picker/slider and a transparency slider, I would be king of all. The ability
to define and name as many pens as I like would complete my domain.
OneNote already supports all of this, the UI just doesn't support the
taskflow of meeting-sketching.
Thanks for a great tool.
PS: I really like Corel Grafigo - the way it recognizes shapes you sketch
and intelligently snaps them into vectors but still allows free sketching -
but I have a feeling that this might be asking too much from Microsoft. I
would (and did) use that app for meetings, but now I can't stand switching
away from OneNote and its wonderful recording and search features, etc. while
in a meeting taking notes.
