P3X 'OneNote' - a Linux port of M$ OneNote, in 'portable' format...

[mikewalsh]

Morning, gang.

Now; some of you just might conceivably be interested in this. I investigated yesterday, after we had somebody ask about this in the Linux & Unix section over at BleepingComputer.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums ... on-ubuntu/

One of The-Toolman's links pointed me to this.

It's an Electron-based, Linux 'port' of the Microsoft 'OneNote' app. It gives you the ability to connect to your Microsoft cloud accounts, so you can retrieve/work on stuff you may be using on other M$ platforms. Very much like the way that Evernote works.

Apparently, it's possible to download the Microsoft installer for this and run it under WINE. I tried that; it's a PITA to get working correctly! This seems to be a far better proposition for those of us who still use Windoze for a certain amount of stuff, and may have documents/notes, etc, still stored on OneDrive. Like so much Electron-based stuff, for us here in Puppyland, by & large it more often than not just "works".

So; there ya go!

--------------------------------------------

Since you probably don't want M$ stuff installed permanently in Puppy, I've built this in my standard 'portable' format. The config stuff ('profile') is created, then sym-linked out to the expected location at runtime, being removed again at close. D/l; unzip; put it anywhere you want.....preferably outside the 'save'. There's the option to add a Menu entry, should this be required.

Anyone who might be interested, you can find it here:-

Hope it's useful for some of you. Enjoy.

only downside is that it creates a folder in root/.cache with 105 MB of data

Hmm. I seem to have missed that. It appears to have a built-in updater of some kind....which would perhaps work if it was fully installed in the normal way, with the name left as originally supplied by the dev team. But the whole point of the portable is to NOT be installed, of course....

So not all the frills are going to work. (BTW, that 105 MB is the next version of the AppImage, waiting to be installed by some script that I've obviously left out.)

Right, gang.

Here's the current version of P3XOneNote-portable, released 6 days ago. I've addressed the /root/.cache issue raised by Dingo, above; it's now self-contained in the internal /config directory, just being sym-linked into place at runtime, then deleted again afterwards.

Available from the d/l link above, in post #1. Enjoy.
