Todd - Thanks for the report. I have not had a chance to test with OneNote 2010 yet, but based on your comments and prior comments, there is definitely a compatibility issue. -Carl

Carl,

Hope all is well. I’m not sure if you’re still putting any work into the DROE Tool anymore, but It appears to need an update for OneNote 2010 (Beta). When I use Win+N it creates a new unnamed section with a time stamp, rather than creating a new entry on the DROE page. I copied a new link to the DROE page after I installed OneNote 2010 and updated the .ini file, but it still goes to another new section every time I use Win+N.

Renger – Thanks for your comments… I’ll put this on the list for the next version. You can get rid of *most* of the stamp by playing with the “Stamp_Format” setting in the INI file. You could, for example, set it to a single period or underscore. If you leave it blank, however, the tool assumes you forgot to set it and gives you a generic date stamp format. A good way to handle this in a future version might be to allow “Stamp_Format = NULL” in the INI file.

Hi Carl
Great tool!!! I have only one remark: I use it for reading pdf-files and making excerpts: it would be great if I could make a note in OneNote without the date. Then I can just send every line I copy from the pdf-file I read to the DROE page and don’t have to delete the date inserts.
Thanks
Renger

Carl:

I recently downloaded the updated version of the tool. Is there any reason why the cursor moves 4 spaces below the date and time stamp? and any subsequent additions, the cursor moves to the same line as the date and time stamp. pervious versions worked fine.

Hi Rich – The DROE tool will always be free, and I plan to continue supporting it with new features and enhancements. As long as I’m able to support it, I don’t plan to post the code or make it open source.

Any chance of getting the source for the DROE tool?

Chris - I just posted a new version of the tool (version 0.3). Please check out the Downloads page. There was an issue for Windows Vista users. I had to change the method used for sending text due to a difference in the keyboard hooks in Vista. (I only have WinXP, so thanks to Antonio for helping me troubleshoot this!) There are also some nice new shortcuts in there for Outlook task & email creation. Hopefully this update fixes your problem. -Carl

I’m struggling getting the date to show up in DROE. It loads the DROE page without issue, but doesn’t add the date. I have reviewed the troubleshooting section and pulled extra stuff off the page. Any other thoughts? I am looking forward to using this tool.
