problem in saving folder as .onepkg in ON2010(beta)

[undisclosed]

First of all as a fresh member I'd like to shout BIG Hello to everyone
in this busy forum!
Now to my first question.
After installation of onenote 2010beta I decided that instead of
converting all my folders I will make a grand overhaul of them. Thus I
moved most of my sections from old folders into a one new folder (2010
compatible). So I did as I planned without any difficulty. The cherry on
my ice cake was going to be a creation of extra backup - independent of
the default one (you know just in case :wink. After choosing option
'save as' to Onenote Package (onepkg) process of compressing was
progressing fine and in 20min it was finished. Until then everything was
fine. Unfortunately when it seemed to complete packing, it came up with
the communicate of sort of '*Cannot create. you may not have sufficient
permission or not enough disk space'*
So I'm baffled as I run my windows7(build 7100) as the the
administrator on my laptop. It's definitely not a disk space issue as I
have it in surplus.
I bet it has something to do with permission but I'm clueless what
exactly.

So dear all I'm open for any advice form you.

Is your file system fat32 ? because the file size in fat32 cannot be
larger than 4GB.
Actually, just backup the *.one files will be OK. You do not have to
save all the note into onepkg.

Thanks for a swift reply
I have NTFS partition and there is 18GB of free space in 200G
partition. The 'Save as' option allows saving to *.one but only singl
section (not the whole notebook). I forgot to say that only happens t
the newly created notebook (2010format) mainly consisting of th
sections from older notebooks(though converted upon moving). The othe
notebooks save to *.onepkg (regardless of format) with no problem

Moreover when I try default backup I got this message
'-Onenote cannot back up some sections that are not fully synced. The
may be sections from an earlier version which are not synced until the
are viewed. To ensure that sections are fully synced click each tab i
the section to view it. All fully synced sections had been backed u
successfully'-

I have to admit that I didn't go through viewing every single tab afte
moving them into the notebook because I have got several hundreds o
them, thus it will take me most of the day to do it. Moreover all m
notebooks are not setup for sync so unsynced sections shouldn't be th
issue in the first place
Anyway desperate calls requires desperate measures!
I will update you at some point if viewing helped

Well the first thing that comes to mind is...you're using Beta software.
It may well be a bug.

Second you probably should post this in the beta forums over on Connect.
(http://connect.microsoft.com) which is where discussion of the beta
software is going on.

That said, which folder on your laptop were you trying to save it to? Maybe
try saving it to your Desktop, as a test, which you should have complete
permissions to.

That said...I just created a package in the latest beta build of OneNote
2010, had it save on our network storage server, and it worked perfectly.
So if it is a bug it must be something specific and not easy to reproduce
generally.

My bad. I wasn't entirely sure if I should post on this forum about som

issues regarding to beta version. Nonetheless I use smile/frown feedbac
available - it's just sad that there is no way to know if th
highlighted problem is ever going to be addressed. The connect system i
better in this aspect, however I had difficulty in searching for tha
website when I wanted to submit the bug for the first time. Many thank
for reminding me about existence of' connect
(https://connect.microsoft.com/onenote/Feedback) . Maybe som
sort of the link should be included in onenote in the help sectio
-surely it would make more people aware about possibility to participat
in eradicating bugs or endorsing new features

That said...I just created a package in the latest build of OneNot
2010, had it save on our network storage server, and it worke
perfectly.I agree! I have problem in saving and backing up with the only one of m

notebooks - which happens to be the biggest of them all and to contai
my most precious notes :smile

I will give a try to connection bug reporting system
Thanks

AFAICS there are no beta forums in Connect.
There were *Newsgroups* for the TP (Technology Preview) on the
"msconnect" news-server (also accessible via a dreadful web-interface).
But these have been closed immediately in appearance of the Beta.
Prior to the msconnect TP-NGs being shut off, Daniel Escape gad said
that *this* NG would be a proper place for discussions on the ON2010
Beta and possible bugs.

So Michael (who has also taken part in the TP) was absolutely right when
posting here.

Rainald
P.S: There a more places for communications on the Beta:
a) A "closed" NG for this having been invited to take part in the
*technical* Beta. No access for the public.
n) AFAICS there are forums for the Office Beta in *MSDN*. Did not find
them so far.

 

[Ben M. Schorr, MVP]

O.K. I don't know who the "Michael" is that you refer to in this post but
if he was in the Technical Preview as you suggest then he might see some
other forums in Connect.

"Jan", the OP on this thread doesn't appear to have been a participant in
the TP.

It may be A place for such discussions but there are other, perhaps better,
places for such discussions. For example the forums on TechNet for the
Office 2010 Beta.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/threads

In any event Jan appears to be reporting a possible bug in a beta version of
the product and the best place to report possible bugs with Microsoft beta
software is via Connect.

Sorry, I mixed two threads :-(

but if he was in the Technical Preview as you suggest then he

Sorry, NO!
*I* for one took part in the TP and was rather active in the
corresponding "msconnect"-NG (microsoft.connect.o2010techprev.onenote);
I can not remember any posting of yours in this group. :-(
But - as said - those were *closed* meanwhile.

"Jan", the OP on this thread doesn't appear to have been a
participant in the TP.

Seems to be so. The OP was "undisclosed". He signed with "curious_jan".
I did not see such person in the said groups.

It may be A place for such discussions
but there are other, perhaps better, places for such discussions.
For example the forums on TechNet for the Office 2010 Beta.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/threads

If you don't have a more precise reference, I think I'd have to
disagree. That's ways to *unspecific*.
Going there just means being forced to wade through tons of threads and
finding hardly anything related to ON.
Been there, done that.
The result: Just 2 (in words "TWO") postings on ON. And nothing but just
questions without any answer. :-(

So: Are you really sure that you would be giving good advice when
sending people there??

In any event Jan appears to be reporting a possible bug in a beta

Yes, he could post a bug there.
But to which avail??

Would you be a bit more current and had you visited the ON-section of
"Connect" during the last 3 years you would know that this place has got
a new layout <g> but is totally dead.{siiiiigh}.
Everyone visiting this NG continuously will be witness that for a very
long time I for one had been sending people to Connect to post their
bugs and present their suggestions there.
I got quite some negative feedback on that.
And the critics were right.
The place where I sent people is dead. For almost 3 years there has been
given hardly any feedback on postings in Connect.

Sadly Yours
Rainald

I used to post in Connect over long time ago. I stopped more less fo

the same reason as above - no much feedback for peoples efforts i
highlighting bugs or suggesting new features
However I have come back there after suggestion in this forum and
must say that things got slightly better. There are some replys i
solution to a bug is found(or simply status is changed to fixed) but n
reply to other highlighted problems. Even a one sentence like that 'w
will look into it' or 'work on it' would be very much appreciated. Jus
awarness that someone is actually listens and reads it.There is no muc
discussion going on the new features too

Nonetheless it doesn't surprise me that much since it is hell difficul
to google out the connect website if you are unaware of it's existence.
That's why I mentioned previously that there should be link to connec
within ON itself (maybe in help section). Perhaps this would generat
more interest in participating

I also participate in very vibrant users community for 'Personal Brain
(http://www.thebrain.com/#-102). And I must say that developers ther
appreciate user feedback very much and are always happy to discuss pro
and cons in implementation of new features. Apart from the forum the
also setup special feedback service ('UserVoice
(http://thebrain.uservoice.com/pages/4597-personalbrain))somethin
similar to Connect but somewhat more sophisticated - gives more detai
about progress of fixing the bugs or implementing new ideas
I think that in a way that could be a good example to many developer
for how the interaction between users and developers should look like

That's why I would like to thank you all for taking part in discussin
on this topic
Thank

I checked things a but more thoroughly meanwhile.
The link you had posted really was no good.
However, when calling
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/office2010
a page with a list of specialized forums opens.
Among these is a forum for ON:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onenote/threads
There are 23 threads at present.
