I have been reading about the PowerToys that Omar Shahine has been talking about with serious interest. I think it will be very cool to be able to move RSS or Outlook items into OneNote. But this got me thinking about another application I have been using, Onfolio.
Omar talked a bit about that the RSS PowerToy will have a hook in the context menu of IE so that you could right click on an RSS feed link and bring it into the PowerToy for import to OneNote. Well if you can do that why not have something like Onfolio? You could have a PowerToy that would allow you to grab graphics or text or whole pages from IE and insert them into specific OneNote pages or sections.
Dont get me wrong. I dont think this would replace Onfolio, particularly when they bring in some of the new features I have heard are coming. But I think that having this ability in OneNote would be very cool.
So Hey Omar, can this go on your list? :-)
Someone is already working on this (another PowerToy). It does exactly what you want ;-).

Well sure it does but I was thinking it would be cool if there was some User Interface that helped you pick where it went.
I will have to check out Pratley's Blog.
Thanks

Onenote can already do that with cut @ paste. It even throws in a link to the page it came from. Also Chris Pratley has talked about a power toy someone was working on that does this directly from IE. Pretty cool stuff huh!?
