Find incomplete Tasks (tags) in OneNote
One of the most basic functions of OneNote is to create a task (tag) in a note. What I need is the ability to find any incomplete task (tag). Is this functionality coming to OneNote or is there a wor...
workaround is the following (also for OneNote 2016 no longer showing todo's from other pages than the one you are on).
req: OneNote2016
a. Publish OneNote to HTML either using the OneNote 2016 Client or a piece of code
(The HTML will contain 2 images for todo's : one checkboxed and the other not checkboxed)
b. Traverse all childs to search for either the *hash* of the image file generated for unchecked and dump the output
c. import manually or automatically back in a one-note page "ALL open todos "
alternatively: get-content of page and traverse xml to search for the needed open todo tag and dump that.
Thank you for your kind reply and technical explanation of this workaround. It's thorough and useable work around.
I've decided to use OneNote less and To Do more, just out of time restraints than interest in trying to make both resources work together. In all my use of Windows, Mac, Android and iOS, I feel the web solutions by Microsoft have the most flexibility and features than their OS counterparts. This is where I hope to see improvements between OneNote and To Do in the future.
I appreciate your work!
