[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
In dual pane mode, everything is fine and dandy until I make the window larger. The stuff I wrote prior to increasing the width will stretch out and I will not be able to write past the original width, just puts in a solid line.

When I move the screen back with a smaller width than start, everything shrinks to fit, as it should and writing is all back to normal.

This is consistent on both the left and right sides. This is very interesting to play with by the way.

In cascade made, the selection of the notebooks is spot on, but the writing is very off, the same location with respect to the pen everywhere on the screen.

Something interesting I just noticed, taking a screenshot of lecture notes with the spen by holding in the minimode screen will only capture that part.

so dual pane works lovely, but cascde not so much for edits, but great for viewing, very similar results as mdalacu
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu & smaw51: Is it possible that the offset is exactly the offset of the left upper corner of the window in which LectureNotes is running in?

@smaw51: Sorry, LectureNotes does not expect the view size to change size during run-time, this does never happen if you run LectureNotes normally. Closing the notebook, resizing the window, and reopening the notebook should work, though. It might be possible to support changing view size, but it will be difficult to add it if I cannot test it myself.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Fantastic! Now if I could just receive the update. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@toenail_flicker and others that can use multi-window: Just curiosity, which Android version are you using? Multi-window does not work on my Galaxy Note 10.1 running Android 4.0. Are you using Android 4.1 or 4.2, a stock or a modified variant?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] FlamingGoat:
Android 4.1 here, I'm running the one from Darkman.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
I can't use it yet. I am on the same ICS the Note came with 4.04. Once JB is released I will restore stock and upgrade. My tab works extremely well and didn't want to mess with the success. :cyclops:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] TPizzle:
Hey just wanted to suggest a feature. Can you make it possible to name layers? Sometimes I lose track when I come back to a notebook after some time. Thanks and loving the app so far, great job!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@TPizzle: Many thanks for your kind comments. To allow to name layers is an interesting idea, I noted it down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] cugel:
Hello,

First of all, i consider that, currently, your application is the best software for note taking on the Galaxy Note 10.1, thanks for your great work.

I wanted to share a weird behaviour on JB 4.1.1 on my 8010, the pen feels slightly less responsive than in 4.0.4 but is fine, what is really weird and have forced me to go back to 4.0.4 is that each couple of minutes (aprox.) the screen doesn't reflect the pen inking for 2-3 seconds but somehow they are stored in memory and the strokes are painted after this interval.

I've tried several governors (i'm using ondemand to avoid reboots), several filters, airview disable, etc but the behaviour doesn't change. After going back to 4.0.4 everything is working fine again.

Regards,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@cugel: Many thanks for your kind comments. The problem that you report sounds quite strange, it seems that input events are not properly delivered to LectureNotes. Is the JB that you use a stock or a custom one?

Widget

Hi again, can you create an widget feature where you can view a page of a notebook, like SNote does?

When you click on it will open that particular page in that notebook.

It would be great for task lists an remainders.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu: You can create shortcuts on your launcher screen, long-click on the notebook (or the folder) and choose `Create shortcut´. Note that the launcher app decides where to initially place the icon, so that it might show up at one of the side screens. Clicking on the icon starts LectureNotes and opens the notebook.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
Thanks for your answer but I was thinking for something more like this:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu: Many thanks for the feedback. This is not as simple as an icon shortcut but can be done. I guess that the S-note page is only displayed, but does not allow to directly write there, right? Does the displayed page widget update when you change the actual page?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
Yes, you can't write directly on the widget, if you touch it, it will open SNote with that page directly and if you edit it when you exit snote the changes are reflected back to the widget. I hope I made my self understood.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu: Many thanks for your feedback. The size of the widget is around three times the size of icons, is that size sufficient?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
Yes, but it is resizable. 4x4 downto 2x2 and in between. On note n7000 i think it was even bigger 5x5. I think the widget shot be able to display any designated page from an existing notebook and the page should display in whole but should keep the aspect ratio.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
Is anyone else having issues where their screen will turn off while writing in lecture notes? I'm on an 8013 running the german 8000 jelly bean with various tweaks from around the place. Everything else is fine and running smooth.

When the screen turns off I am unable to turn it back on for about 5 seconds or so. No data is lost so that is good, just a bit odd and scary when it happens. Just wondering if anyone else here is experiencing this as well or if it is just my set up, which is not conventional to begin with.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
I've never experienced such a problem with GT-N8000, GB 4.0.4 and stock.

I'd say the problem could be most probably be with your set up or (less likely) with LN in JB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@smaw51: LectureNotes does certainly not turn of the screen. A normal app can only request that the screen remains on as long as the app is in front (this feature can be enabled in the app's settings), but not turn it off. What time to turn off the screen did you set in the Android system settings?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
Yeah I know it is not the app itself, that is why I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue. My screen shut off is for 5 minuets, with the face thing turned off. It happens in the middle of writing stuff. There seems to be no correlation to the time to off in settings and the very few times this has happened.

This is my most used app by the way, everything I could ask for in a note taking app
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] wakarou90:
is this widget only in the JB update?...i cant find it in ics...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
Dear Acadoid the new pdf feature works very well! In our note 10.1 there is a feature that allows to scroll pages approaching the pen to the lower edge, can you add this feature? Another useful tool could be to change the pen's colour using the s-pen bottom! Thanks for your attention to your customers and sorry for my bad English ;).

Send from my GT-N8000 [LectureNotes, the best notes taking app!]
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
I think the scrolling with the pen g automaticly could get annoying, but also desirable, so if it was implemented I think having it an option would be good if posable
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
There is an auto-scroll feature, for which you can set the parameters as to what point it scrolls when you reach the bottom of the page. Perhaps this will help you. It can be found under settings, tools, auto scroll setup.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Mirkokkk: Many thanks for your kind comments. You can assign custom pencil to the S-pen button, you need to enable the stylus button in the app's input settings and assign in the app's handling settings.

There is already an auto-scroll feature, as pointed out by toenail_flicker.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
Dude!!!!! I just found another feature about this that is amazing! !! Erase in a circle around stuff to delete the stuff in the circle
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@smaw51: Erasers have a `lasso´ functionality, that is correct. Note that the app's searchable help page (choose `Help´ in any of the main menus) has a section `Hints´ which might be helpful to have a look at.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
That is great, isn't it? Mine comes and goes, but I love it when I need it and it works. :good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
That's strange, mine works every time. When you are close to completing the circle or area wait for the join to happen automatically, never fails for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
This is a great app. For true paper-pen like experience, it is important to add filters to input because s pen is an magnetic device, even though pen nib is disconnected from surface, it may still misinteract with the tablet causing some ugly wiggles to occur.

However, every people has a different writing style. In writing, during transition between letters, even though user disconnects nib from surface, device may get it as it is not disconnected or user may not even properly disconnect nib from surface between letters. In this transition, if pressure level filter is on and minimum input level of pen is under threshold value, the filter starts to ignore rest of the input which is supposed to draw next letter. This causes missing letters in writing.

To make it true paper-pen like experience, filter shouldn't ignore rest of the input once it drops under threshold. It should only ignore inputs which are under the threshold.

For example:

Let pressure value samples that device picks up during two sequential strokes be;

70 65 60 30 40 60 40 20 5 3 1 9 12 40 60 80 55 40 20 15 9 5 3 1

And threshold is 10

Here,

Until picked up value drops under 10, first letter is drawn. After it drops below, the rest of the input which supposed to make second letter will be ignored and not drawn.

If the filter ignores just inputs below threshold, starting from 12, second stroke (or letter) will start to be drawn. The last 4 input picks which will draw ugly wiggle will not be drawn, neither.

In galaxy note, if you look at any wiggle, you can notice that they attenuate. This is the logic behind ignoring rest if it is once below the threshold. On the other hand, as I try to explain, it may not reach zero before next stroke and filter keep filtering. To cover all these cases, pressure filter shouldn't ignore rest in case input increases back above threshold before reaching zero due to next user stroke.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Becinyus: I could implement the pressure filter as you suggest. The reasoning for the present realization is that Android seems to send strange coordinates, so that it might also send strange pressure values. Hence, the strange pressure values might be above threshold, so that the wiggles will remain, just disconnected from the main stroke. The problem is that my Galaxy Note 10.1 does not show this problem (BTW: I read in some other thread that this problem can be caused by covers which contain magnets.) so that I cannot test whether such alternative filter variant works. What I can do is to provide both variants.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Senrir:
Feature suggestions

This app is one of my best, if not my best buy in the google store.

It is "almost" comparable to iPad's Notability which I have used a lot, before Note 10.1 came to the market.

Here are some feature suggestions that is missing / might make the app better:

1. Select tool - that is not restricted by a rectangle or circle; making the select tool a lasso tool.

2. Easier Select tool options. - Be able to drag selected area, right after selecting, tap the selected area for options (copy, delete, resize etc).

3. Dropbox syncing / auto-sync in pdf
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Senrir: Many thanks for your kind comments. 1. LectureNotes has a free hand selection, you can toggle between rectangle and free hand in the cutter menu. 2. The selection has a cut-and-move, when you click-and-hold on the cut icon, you can directly move the selection. Copy, cut (delete), and resize are already available via icons, or do I misunderstand your suggestion? 3. There are numerous cloud services around, it will be difficult to support them all. To sync with the cloud service of your choice, set LectureNotes' app directory to a place on your SD card that gets automatically synced with the cloud service (app directory can be set in the app's storage settings).

@Becinyus: I added an option at the pressure filter that toggles between `enforced lifting´ (the present behavior) and the behavior that you suggest, this will be part of the next update v1.17.2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Senrir:
Oh my bad, I didnt know there is a free hand selection option! Perfect :)

For the second one, I was suggesting that you are able to move the selected area just after you select it (No need to click the cut and move icon since it would be the same); Would be much easir and noob friendly i think :P

For the dropbox syncing - Ive never thought about what you said. Ill try that :)

If you need more function suggestions :)

1. Easy erasing - Erasing a writing is as easy as drawing a line over it (like what you normally do when writing on paper without eraser)

2. Shape detection - like snote

3. Handwritten to text - like snote (maybe a paid extension?) =)

4. Alternative notebook page? Like notability? Perhaps :) - to see how it looks like google notability xD

Lastly - Is it possible to bookmark a page - for the table of contents?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
Thank you, you are the best,

I am looking forward to try.. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
It is what it is. I usually have to reboot before it works again. I've quit worrying about it. I have a great eraser now. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Dead_Rabbit:
I have told you before, but it's never enough.. Your app is the best:D

I just want to suggest two things

1 add the option to multi select notebooks to delete

2nd add the option to delete the notebook when we hold the the finger on it
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
also multi move notebooks would be nice
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
What Dead_Rabbit said. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Becinyus: I just uploaded v1.17.2 into Google Play in which the pressure filter has an additional option, disabling it yields the behavior that you suggested.

@Senrir: 1. This is difficult to implement in a bitmap-based app such as LectureNotes. The eraser has a `lasso´ functionality, which is not exactly what you suggest, but might help to erase whole words or sentences. 2./3. That LectureNotes interprets what you write or draw is very unlikely to be added in the foreseeable future, I am sorry. 4. I am not sure what you refer to by `alternative notebook page´, please explain.

@Dead_Rabbit & smaw51: I put your suggestion on my to-do-list.

@everyone using multi-window: The last version v1.17.2 should handle resizing properly. Since my Galaxy Note 10.1 still runs Android 4.1, I cannot test it properly, so that I will appreciate your feedback.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Senrir:
Something like this :)

Makes navigation much streamlined and easier imo.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Senrir: Have you tried the option `ultracompact´ in the notebooks board appearance with the `display as tree´ option enabled (it is in the app's display settings)? This should be close to what you have in mind.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
@ acadoid, i could test multiwindow only on my Note 2, and it has a offset about 5mm on y axis when i use the phone in portrait or landscape mode. This is only present if screen is shared with another app, if lecture notes is launched from multiwindow bar and maximized there is no offset.

I hope this helps. If you need me to do any other tests don't hesitate to ask.

I will test later on the Note 10.1.

Thank you.

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

@acadoid.

On Note 10.1:

In dual view mode, all is ok if you have the window on the left if you put it on the right side you will get just x offset

When you switch to cascade view (windowed) this is what happens:

Further away you go from 0,0 the offset increase.

So you need to use client coordinates not the ones of the screen.

Again, i hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
This was the reason for which my letter "A" or "E" often had some imperfection! Now with the filter it's perfect! Thanks to Becinyus for the suggest and Acadoid for the development!

Send from my GT-N8000 [LectureNotes, the best notes taking app!]
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu: Many thanks for your feedback. Strange, somehow the information that Android provides concerning placement of the view and the coordinates sent upon touch do not fit. One additional test would be helpful: There is a menu when you click on the launcher icon, where does that appear in the different cases?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] akxak:
At this place, a big thanks to the author... for adapting to the new multi-window feature of JB in the Note 10.1 and the lightning fast reaction on reports and suggestions....

Keep up the good work, the app is worth the registration.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
I use the color of the folder to help me find a particular folder quickly. Any chance of maintaining the icon strategy for the main folder, at least. The all text mode is somewhat overwhelming. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] wakarou90:
@acadoid:

is it possible to add more than 12 costum pencils?...really hope can add more...maybe alot more...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
Please, can you show me what menu are you talking about? The app launcher does have no menu and if you are talking about the menu that appears when you press on the dividing line in dual view mode it has a button for switching the position on the 2 opened apps or to maximise one of them.

You better show on one of my screenshots.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] ciprazter:
How to make smooth scrolling ? It's a bit lag for me, thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@akxak: Many thanks, I hope to provide a fully functional support with one of the next updates.

@toenail_flicker: Your suggestion would be something tree-like, but with icons (or with color, at least). Let me think a moment about that.

@wakarou90: I could add more custom pencils, but this would make dialogs and menus etc. a bit large/long. I recently added 48 recent colors, which effectively yields 12+48 = 60 colors, isn't that sufficient?

@mdalacu: If you enabled the launcher icon and enable the launcher icon menu in the app's menu settings, there is a menu at this icon which contains recently opened notebooks etc.

@ciprazter: Sorry to hear that, which device are you using? Note that scrolling and zooming response goes down with number of layers and notebook page size.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mdalacu:
This is what happens on Note2. If I inverse the apps than the menu does not display at all.

I hope that this is what you meant.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@mdalacu: Many thanks, this is what I meant, right.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] wakarou90:
@acadoid: About the extra costum pen...I think its ok with 60 pen...but how the recent function will work?Can give it a try...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@wakarou90: The `Recent colors´ are displayed in the custom pencil settings since v1.16.20, clicking on one of the colors sets the custom pencil to this color.

I made several attempts to purchase the application with credit card reference being in Saudi Arabia but without luck.

I am able to buy other applications from google play market but not lecture notes.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@ChromJ: I am sorry to hear about these difficulties. Unfortunately, there is not much I can do, I suggest to contact the Google Play help desk concerning the problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
I think that it's could be useful the tool "copy and paste" because when I select something it's difficult move it in a different page. This tool should work also between different notebooks (and so the selection should rest in memory). An amazing thing could be to see two different notebooks in the same time and to move selections between themselves (it's could be useful to sort the notes after they are taken)! :)

Is it possible to add an option to fix a certain zoom level? Just a simple lock, so no pinching will change the value.

I will wait till summer. I am coming to visit my son. I will install it while there.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
There are fixed settings for zoom. Make sure the zoom menu shows and turn off the ability to pinch and zoom in Settings.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

You can also set the zoom levels in Settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Mirkokkk: There is a certain `resistance´ at the page boundary, but just keep pulling, the selection will follow. Alternatively, abort the paste, move to the target page, and choose `Paste from clipboard´ in the cutter menu. This works also when you close a notebook and open a different one (the feature that you suggested).

@Stoersender & akxak: There is a zoom level menu with six adjustable zoom levels (as pointed out by toenail_flicker).

@ChromJ: Did you contact the Google Play help desk? What did they say?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:

Many thanks to acadoid for the great software!

Just one more feature request ... When I use the selection tool, 4 icons comes out (X, A->A, blank->A, bucket). Could you make them transparent, or let us tune its transparency? I use this selection tool very often, and sometimes over small areas. In case the selection area is small, the 4 icons takes up all place and I cannot see the selected object. Then it's hard to move it around accurately.

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mirkokkk:
You could zoom in, select the small area and after zoom out! ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@tririver: Many thanks for your kind comments. Interesting idea, I have not though about that. But translucency might also lower visibility, so I will probably add this as option. But Mirkokkk suggested a good strategy for the meanwhile.
