Is there any way to import a PDF so that the background is eliminated? E.g. importing it with a "clear" background so just the text from the PDF appears on my existing page backgound?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: I am very sorry to hear about the problem.

Please check on the `About LectureNotes´ page which version you are using. If you are using v2.3.13, please disable `use page buffer´ in the app's storage settings. There is already v2.3.14 in Google Play which fixes the problem that v2.3.13 causes on some devices with this option enabled. After you updated to v2.3.14, you can enable `use page buffer´ again.

[MENTION=4035388]jeggen[/MENTION]: There is an option `render on translucent background´ in the PDF import setup in the app's import settings. Note that this does not help if the PDF contains its own opaque background.

New pattern

Hi, i am not good with computers. Can someone gives me a java script code for college ruled paper pattern? The one with a small empty space on top of the paper, horizontal lines running throughout the remainder portion. And a Vertical line running down on the left side, about 1/10 in? I like to have a space where i can go back and add notes on the border and stuff. Thank you. Or the developers can add an option for this type of pattern, since a lot of students uses college ruled paper to write. Thank you

I had this happen to me before. I had changed my default LectureNotes folder to be on the sd card and apparently my SD card was acting up. When it couldn't access the card, I couldn't save pages and I would get that same error. I moved the default folder back to the internal memory and haven't run into it again.

[MENTION=5561320]b2dters[/MENTION]: One of the `ruled with red line´ custom paper pattern examples that LectureNotes has built-in should be pretty close, the location of the red line and how much of the page is kept clear can be easily adjusted.

To use one of the custom paper pattern examples, open the notebook settings, click on `custom´ paper pattern, this will bring up the JavaScript editor. In the main menu, select `Use template´, this will bring up the custom paper pattern overview displaying all examples. Select one of the examples by clicking on it, this brings you back to the JavaScript editor and you see the corresponding JavaScript code. Click on the `back´ button and confirm that you wish to use this code, this brings you back to the notebook settings. Click on `OK´ to use the new settings.

[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION] & ajamudc: Right, a broken SD card could also cause this error message.

Is it possible to insert the cut or copied image on a different notebook?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] bbjr:
Thanks for an excellent app, acadoid. I spent the last week reading through this thread and playing around with the application to learn my way around and I am very happy with it.

I would like to know if it would be possible to embed hyperlinks and videos within the notes, similarly to how we can import images. I think this feature would be very useful in creating an all-in-one package encompassing all the areas that one could use while taking/studying notes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4341919]sdfghi[/MENTION]: To copy from one notebook to another, select in the source notebook and copy, abort the paste, close the source notebook and open the target one, and select `Paste from clipboard´ in the `cutter´ menu, this will bring back the selection.

[MENTION=5562877]bbjr[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your kind comments.

LectureNotes allows to set links to files and web addresses as keywords, it understands `file://´, `http://´, and `https://´. When you create an index for the notebook, these special `keywords´ are clickable and open a file or a web browser. To allow that directly on the notebook page (for instance in the text layer) is on my agenda.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] big_w:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] just wondering what your timescale is for your next big version release, with shapes and some of the other big suggestions you said you were working on. Loving using your app daily and it is so great to use, keep up the great work.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
I have enjoyed the recetly released 'default crop on importing' feature, but with some use I have noticed one little thing that bothers me. When I import a page and realize it's not the one I wanted, I almost automatically tap the red cross and try to import another one, at first without noticing it has not been discarted, but it's still there, waiting to be resized and finally pasted. Could you possibly allow for fast discard when touching the red cross? I think it's logical since users should use the green check when the image has been correctly cropped.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5345164]big_w[/MENTION]: This kind of question is difficult to answer. Actually, I planned that v2.4 with the custom drawing tools should follow v2.3.13, but then it turned out that this version causes problems with the newly added `page buffer´ (due to some rarely occurring, unexpected problem in Android's Bitmap class), so that I had to quickly release v2.3.14 fixing that. Since I had to be quick with v2.3.14, this version is stable but the page buffer handling is not optimal, so that I presently prepare v2.3.15 which I will release in a few days. If no new problem surfaces, v2.4 will be the next release afterwards. It will take a moment to incorporate the drawing tools code into the main code branch, and there are still a few decisions concerning UI to make, but I hope that v2.4 should be out before mid of December. In case you (or others) are interested, please send me an email, I can send the APK of the trial version to you for testing (since full and trial version are independent, there is no interference).

[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: When you click on the red cross in the cropping editor, the cropping is aborted and the previous cropping (and alpha) is restored; for instance, when you start the crop editor by long-click to readjust the boundaries, but then to decide to remain with the previous choice, you click on the red cross to leave the cropping editor.

[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: I am sorry to hear about the problem. Google entirely revised the JavaScript machinery in Android 4.4 (it takes now much longer until it eventually starts evaluating code, it is much slower, ...), and I had to perform several changes in LectureNotes to compensate for that. However, these changes should only affect devices running Android 4.4, not devices running Android 4.3 or earlier.

Which Android version are you using?

In Android 4.3 and earlier, it could occur that the JavaScript machinery got a kind of `hiccup´, a reboot cleared that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
Im on 4.3 and this is the code I have been using:

width = LN.getWidth();

height = LN.getHeight();

scale = LN.getScale();

line = 0.10 * width;

clear = 0.05 * height;

LN.drawRuledPattern(scale, line, clear, width, height, false);

LN.setStrokeWidth(0.002 * width);

LN.setColor(1, 0, 0);

LN.drawLine(line, 0, line, height);

page = LN.getPage();

LN.setTextSize(0.02 * width);

LN.setTextAlign(0);

LN.drawText("Page " + page, 0.05 * width, 0.02 * height);

Any clues?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: Quite curios. I tested your code on my old Galaxy Note 10.1 (Android 4.1) as well as my Nexus 10 (Android 4.4) and it works fine. Unfortunately, I do currently not have a device running Android 4.3, but there was no significant change in the Android WebView Java class from Android 4.1 to 4.3.

Have you tried to reboot the device and retry?

If you go to the JavaScript paper pattern editor and select `Run´ in the main menu, what happens? Is there an error message?

Are other codes working? What happens if you remove the line with LN.drawRuledPattern(...)? I am asking the latter, as I have added more variants of this and other standard pattern commands.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] : Reboot didn't work. Run shows no error only a blank screen. Other codes aren't working, they are all blank. I Un installed and reinstalled and same issue. I will try other suggestion about removing code line later in the morning. 2.30am here in Melbourne Australia time for bed. As always thanks for your great support. Will advise.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: Sure, no hurry.

Could you also try the command

LN.drawRuledPattern(scale, 1.0, line, clear, width, height, false);

where the 1.0 determines the line width. This should not make any difference to your command, as 1.0 is the default line width. Further alternatives could be

LN.drawRuledPattern(scale, false);

and

LN.drawRuledPattern(scale, 1.0, false);

which should make a difference.

I'm having the problems with everything on the page I'm writing on disappearing more frequently now, and of course it's a huge problem every time it happens. The tablet is stock, unrooted and works fine besides from this. Anyone else having this troubles or have some idea about what causes it? And of course more importantly, how to avoid it?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: This is a rather weird behavior that you report.

Could you please check which version of LectureNotes you are using? This can be seen on the `About LectureNotes´ page. The current version is v2.3.16 of today.

Which device (Galaxy Note 10.1?) and settings (`use stylus´?) are you using?

One reason that could make input to disappear is that LectureNotes receives a second equivalent `ghost´ input and considers that as a gesture, in which case it cancels `normal´ input. If this is indeed happening can be seen by enabling `pointer location´ in the device's developer settings, then your device will display all touch input that it detects.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Thank you. If I have problem figuring out how to do it I'll get back with you.

I think the jaggies are stylus related. I have one stylus that exhibits the issue and one that doesn't. It only shows in your app though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@salmonsushi: Sorry, I forgot the link, I was referring to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844609.

Pressure sensitivity can be disabled, for all standard pencils and individually for each custom pencil (this is even the default). To have a threshold in pressure below which input is ignored is an interesting idea, I will try that.

I am somewhat reluctant to add third party SDKs to my apps, For the Samsung SDK specifically, it is not guaranteed that this will solve the problem, and furthermore it would require a large number of changes in the app. I definitely prefer to solve such issues by own code.

Request function: Stylus buttons toggle pens

When I am taking lecture notes, or writing up summary, I often find myself switching back and forth between black and blue pen.

While there is a button activates pen function, it only allows me to write one stroke before switching back.

i.e. I wanted to write the title in blue, pressed the stylus button, one stroke of | in blue and it returns to black again.

I really appreciate it if there's an additional options that allow users to toggle (remain in blue pen until i press the stylus button again) between pens.

I hope it is not too difficult to implement.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@salmonsushi: The stylus button is to activate one-time functions and I am somewhat reluctant to change that, in particular as you can keep the one-time function active by keeping the stylus button pressed. To toggle between pencils is probably better achieved by displaying the pencil toolbox (choose `Display pencil toolbox´ in the pencil menu, can be moved around by click-and-hold, content can be customized in the app's tools settings) and clicking on the desired pencil.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] salmonsushi:
On my note 10.1 holding stylus button does not work. Holding the stylus button does not allow me to write. I am not suggesting remove the one-time function, but to add an extra toggle function. thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@salmonsushi: Sorry, you are right, this does not work on a Galaxy Note 10.1, as the system interferes when you touch the display with stylus button pressed. To use the button optionally as a toggle is not too complicated, I put that on my to-do-list.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] salmonsushi:
Thank you so much = )
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] flippingout:
I just want to say this is an incredible app and truly appreciate all Pfizer the development that has gone into this, and for such a low price is just agazing.

I too have the jagged line issues. I have found that if I zoom in and write the jagged edges get smoothed out automatically. Unfortunately it isn't conducive to writing a lot of notes when zoomed in.

Only other oddity I have noticed is the palm rejection sometimes fails and the letter I am writing will start to trail off towards where my palm is. It's only a couple of pixels but I have noticed the linequality "jerk" to the side.

This looks very nice!!! Is there a way to set it up so after you export to pdf from lecture notes, you are able to open it with this app?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Which other filter? I have the weird tails, too, though they are less distracting.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

If you mean the 2nd filter, under the one I'm using, it makes my weird tails worse.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] ratindahat:
That is the one i am talking about. I'm undecided on the second filter. I need to sit down and test them. not sure if it is making mine any worse. I do notice that if i have the little hover icon on, i can sometimes watch it jump by about 3 mm or so when i touch the screen. If someone could determine the reason for the jump, the issue would be solved i think.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
What if it's related to the sensitivity setting on the stylus, under the button. There's a thread that shows how to adjust it. I have one stylus that has jaggies and one that doesn't. I'll bet if I pop the button on both that the sensitivity setting is different on each.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] : OK tried removing the line as suggested, still blank. I tried adding the lines you suggested and still blank. Interestingly though I updated my Note 10.1 this morning which is 4.1.2 and all is good, works perfectly. The unit I have trouble with is my Note 2 running a custom Rom (SkyNote) which is a leaked version from the Note 3 running 4.3. I suspect this is the issue rather than your update as the Note 10.1 is perfect. I will look into this further, perhaps there are issues with Java in this leak. I will advise further.

I keep having an issue recently, where whenever I use the clipping tool, a message "out of memory, trouble ahead" appears. Half the time the clipped section just vanishes. Where exactly is this "memory" issue located? And how do I clear out memory? Thank you. And I find the new "work in all layers" option immensely helpful. Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Apparently I hadn't updated it for a while, it was the*2.3.13 version I was running.

Correct, I'm using the previous version of the Note 10.1 and have the "use stylus" option active.

Well that happens sometimes, usually (or maybe always) when I accidentally push the pen button while writing. It then delete the stroke I do at that time, which is fine. But when the fault occurs, it usually delete the following strokes I'm writing without reason and then the whole page I'm at. Saving doesn't help, neither does restarting. The content is just gone!

I guess I can check that pointer location option, I'm not sure what to look for though. But I assume that I should see if there's any strokes I didn't do registered right after the fault occurs?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: I am very relieved to hear that.

[MENTION=4959893]Tablet_JF[/MENTION]: This message means that LectureNotes cannot obtain the memory (RAM) that it needs. This can be due to several reasons, for instance there are too many other apps kept in background that occupy RAM. Android has also a certain tendency to `loose´ RAM over time, a reboot from time to time helps here.

Note that there are several options in the app's storage that affect how much RAM LectureNotes needs, for instance `use large page cache´ or `use page buffer´. If the problem persists, I recommend to disable `use large page cache´ if you have enabled that and try again. If this does not help, try to disable `use page buffer´.

[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: I recommend to upgrade to the latest version.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I've had these problems for quite some time (even though they've occurred more often recently), and I assume the problem will remain until something is done with the code that control this kind of things. But sure, I'll upgrade right away!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: Despite testing version v2.3.13 (the version that you have been using recently) for several days by numerous users, it turned out only after releasing it that one new functionality can cause problems in some cases due to a bug in Android (to be precise, Android's Bitmap class is not 100% thread-safe). This problem can for instance surface in the behavior that you report. I released v2.3.14 which circumnavigates this problem the day after, and I am rather optimistic that you will not observe the problem after upgrading to the current version v2.3.17 (assuming that your device does not produce any `ghost´ input as some devices indeed do).

Acadoid, I recently purchased a spare stylus that I plan to use during longer duration writing sessions. This stylus has a slight offset and I found in the settings where I can adjust for this and the correction works beautifully. What I would like to request is an icon where I can quickly switch between the two settings (offset/no offset) in the icon toolbar. I know that this can be accomplished through the settings menu, but I would like to keep the spare stylus (with offset correction) as the main setting (since I plan to use this pen more often) and then use the tablet's included stylus (no offset correction) for quick notes where I don't have time to get out the aftermarket stylus. Since I would like to use this feature quickly, having to go into the settings and change the toggle is a bit cumbersome. Thanks!

pls change how pdfs are imported and make it possible to change only one book at time. its always a hassle when i import a pdf and its 90° false direction and then when i change that every single book is changed :( also reading imported pdfs is very, very slow.

maybe you should approach a complete different implementation of that feature ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5562877]bbjr[/MENTION]: Well, one could add this as an extra icon, but maybe it is better suited in one of the already existing menus. Let me think a moment about that.

[MENTION=3379223]layercake87[/MENTION]: There is a toggle `auto-rotate´ in the app's PDF import settings. With this enabled, LectureNotes rotates the imported PDF pages if this makes it fit better on the page (meaning they can be scaled larger). Disable that toggle and no rotation will occur upon import.

There is not much room for acceleration of PDF import, as most of the duration is caused by the time it takes to create a notebook page.
