General Software Discussion / What's the future of OneNote?
« on: October 01, 2019, 11:13 AM »
I didn't want to ruin Iainb's nice onenote thread for this, so im starting this thread...
What's the deal? I was so annoyed to find out Onenote 2019 doesn't exist and they've replaced it with the eponymous "Onenote" that is not even a regular download, only a store download? But even beyond that, they have completely revamped the interface. Nothing wrong with it really, even some things are nice. It is quite different than the previous versions.
The BIGGEST PROBLEM is that it seems to not be able to open, import, export etc the previous notebooks the same way. I didn't experiment fully since I immediately ran to Onenote 2016 to make sure all my notes were safe. But it seems to demand you to sign into your MS account to work, and probably all your notes need to be synced or at least available for syncing. Very annoying.
There would be no problem if they didnt mess with the Open, Import, Export options. but they did of course.
So what does this mean? If this is the end of locally stored onenote files, then it's time i once again move to another program. Like Rightnote, which i already used pretty heavily until IAINB DEMANDED I USE ONENOTE!!!
lol
if rightnote could somehow mimic the whiteboard aspect of onenote, that would be great.
