This is strange. Seems like the error is either with What do you get when you execute the command line directly (identical to the above pandoc.exe -f docx -t markdown_mmd-simple_tables-multiline_tables-grid_tables+pipe_tables+task_lists-mmd_link_attributes-raw_html -i c:\notes\Reprise\docx\{76279337-9B48-0B09-34AF-30DA87D5B196}{1}{E185189248259008087511978443734194607593311}-1662474788.docx -o c:\notes\Reprise\Nouvelle-section-1\6-9-2022---Expert-comptable.md --wrap=none --markdown-headings=atx --extract-media=C:/Users/MDRICG~1/AppData/Local/Temp/Reprise/2023-08-02-18-16-42-0695980versus something like if you simplified pandoc.exe -f docx -t markdown_mmd-simple_tables-multiline_tables-grid_tables+pipe_tables+task_lists-mmd_link_attributes-raw_html -i c:\notes\Reprise\docx\{76279337-9B48-0B09-34AF-30DA87D5B196}{1}{E185189248259008087511978443734194607593311}-1662474788.docx -o c:\notes\Reprise\Nouvelle-section-1\6-9-2022---Expert-comptable.md --wrap=none --markdown-headings=atx --extract-media=C:/notesif there's no error on the second one, then the error might have something to do with |

Looking at this again, alternatively the problem might be with The full path of your home directory is I'm not that experienced with Windows to know why and when it uses the shortened home directory name sometimes (E.g. |

…ortened path for Windows users with long usernames Previously, the value of `$env:TEMP` is, for a Windows user with a long username, something like `C:\users\somelo~1` for an actual path like `C:\users\somelongusername`. This value causes problems with `pandoc` which does not recognize shortened paths. Now, the full path of `$env:TEMP` is resolved. This should fix the script for users with long usernames (anything more than 8 characters).

Could you try #168 and let me know if it works? |

I tried #168 with new conversion script but same error, so i go back to your direct tests with pandoc.exe
It generates a good and full converted .md file from .docx source I finally found what was wrong: It cames from PATH Environment that was not correctly set for pandoc.exe !! You can easily change it looking for environment in start menu
@leojonathanoh I also retried previous versions of your script - 7cc35a8 "https://github.com/theohbrothers/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown/blob/docs/ci-cleanup-bug-report-issue-template/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown-v2.ps1" Sorry to make you search, it was in my environment |

Thank you for your research. It's odd that the script didn't actually validate that |

It does seem like pandoc To verify this on my machine, installed pandoc using the Let me add the solution to improve on the docs. Thanks again 😄 |
…hortened path Previously, the value of `$env:TEMP` is an MSDOS 8.3 shortened path. For example, the home directory of a Windows user with a long username (E.g. `somelongusername`) is shortened to `C:\users\somelo~1` instead of `C:\users\somelongusername`. Now, the full path of `$env:TEMP` is used. This improves readability and understandability.

Super Job 👌 |
|
oh yes, list tags. I think it's part of the xml object of the page, but this script does not convert them to markdown front matter or references in markdown. hope you manage to get it working 😃 |
|
To get tags in MD file, i made a OneTastic macro. It adds MD mark to the tag so that we get them in .docx file, during the first step of your script) before converting to MD. |
|
this is cool stuff, didn't know you could do such things with onetastic. Perhaps this may be added in the readme for people who want to use such an approach for preserving tags etc 😄 |

Expectation
Conversion from .docx to .md stop because script didn't find docx file even though it exists
Discussion
It is strange because conversion from OneNote to docx works. Docx file is exactly what it should.
The file is correctly named , and the missing file in the error message exists!
It seems to have no length error, no directory error.
The only thing is that i d'ont use VS environnement because I have no other use and it would be heavy for my computer. I run script directly from an admin powershell console. The log file talks about PIA Assembly: could it be the error source? How can i check and correct if it's missing (without installing VS environment :) )?
