@acadoid

So there must be some misunderstanding.

I'll try to be more clear (as I'm sure this feature could interest other users too and maybe clarify something more about Android clipboard system too)

I'm not much interested in copying from LN (to the clipboard) and pasting somewhere else, but the reverse: copying an image (i.e. a math formula that is often stored as an image in web pages) from the browser and pasting it in LN.

If I open the browser and long press upon an image I have the following options:

Save image

Copy image

View image

Set as wallpaper

If I select "Copy image" I can see a small notification message saying "Copied to clipboard".

After that I can then see the content of the clipboard by pressing the bottom right button of the default Samsung GNote 10.1 keyboard. It opens a small bottom stripe area with all the things recently copied to the clipboard (not only the most recent one). Usually in it there are text clippings and images. The latter are showed as small thumbnails (and not text uris).

(From that bottom stripe window, if I press the option "edit" I can also delete items from the clipboard.)

Anyway I assume that the most recent item is pasted if I later use the "paste" option in some other program (i.e. Word of Polaris Office).

If I copy an image from a web page then open Polaris Office "Word" and use the paste option of this app, the copied image is pasted in the word document (not as an uri text but as an actual image).

So, according to your

In any case, when you choose `Paste from clipboard´ in the cutter menu, the last image object that got placed on the clipboard (placed there either by LectureNotes or by another app) will be paste;
​

I'd assume that using LN's "paste from clipboard" command in the "cutter menu" could paste the image (or math formula as an image) copied from the browser in the LN page.

But it actually doesn't do that but always paste something previously selected/cut in LN (also in some different notebook) and not something more recently copied from some other app (i.e. from the web browser).

Did I misunderstand something in the process?

Or maybe it could be that there's something wrong in my GNote10.1.

If anyone could replicate the process and confirm if it works as expected or not I could know if the problem is with my GNote or not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
Hi there sphere314: for the above, i have described a solution that works using the screen capture tool available on the note where you can crop an image from the website and then paste it into lecture notes. Have a read at the following link for instructions and examples if that is what is desired:

E

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31769493#post31769493

Edit: As a side note, if you capture the image that you need using the screen capture functionality described in the link above, you can pick share from the export options and choose lecture notes and then all you do is to pick the notebook that you want to paste the capture on to and resize as necessary.

Edit 2: I now see what you mean when you copy an image from a web page to clipboard, the last image in memory is not the one copied into lecture notes and lecture notes does not allow you to pick an image from the clipboard gallery when using Samsung's keyboard. I can see on the clipboard gallery that the image is definitely there. It seems like at present that the solution i provided above can be used as a workaround until or if this issue gets resolved. The good thing about the above solution is the fact that you can also annotate and crop the image before bringing it in to lecture notes.

Edit 3: Ok, I've been messing around with the images stored in the clipboard and so far it seems like the only apps than can take images out of the clipboard are the ones supplied by Samsung such as Polaris office, S-note etc I tried to take the images on other apps such as lecture notes and office pro amongst others and they do not seem to allow extracting the images from the clip board. The only thing bugging me now is why the last copied image from a web page is not the one that gets pasted as is sphere's frustration.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] JustFlesh:
I use LectureNotes almost everyday since over 6 month now. But there is one thing I really would like to see to change.

The design of the pencilbox:

We now have a 8x3 matrix for the configurations. That results in 3 thicknesses and 8 colours.

But if we would be able to choose the colour and thickness seperatly:

1 column for thickness and 7 for colours => 3 thicknesses and 21 different colours,

2 columns for thickness and 6 for colours => 6 thicknesses and 18 colours.

If you only need 6 colours and 3 thicknesses for example you would only need 3 rows.

I think with this implementation, the pencilbox could be smaller for users, who don't need many colours. But if you need more colours, the box wouldn't be bigger than it is now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3531784]JustFlesh[/MENTION]: Custom pencils are coded in LectureNotes as an entity that have all necessary properties (color, width, pressure or velocity sensitivity, flat end, draws behind other colors, is eraser) at once, and to fundamentally change that would be quite complicated. One compromise could be to provide a setup in which you choose N line widths and M colors and LectureNotes produces from that N times M custom pencils by combinations.

The standard pencils (which consist of combinations of line width and color) are also displayed in the pencil toolbox in an N times M fashion, not as two rows/columns with N and M choices. Doing the same for the custom pencils, even if they consist of N' line widths and M' colors, would not save space.

Triggered by your post, I had a look how other apps solve this. Some do not have the concept of a standard or custom pencil at all, they allow to freely change width and color, which however makes it difficult to reproduce a certain previous pencil; others allow only a certain number of colors and/or line widths, which however means that they have only standard pencils.

Another idea could be have a pencil toolbox that works in two steps, first you click on standard pencil, custom pencil, or drawing tool, and then comes up another toolbox for the actual selection (the active color and line width could still be displayed separately). This would result in a two times two box (and the shrink/expand icon could be saved), but at the expense of a second click.

BTW: The next update v2.3.3 will provide 18 custom pencils.

Thanks for the fast answer, as usual :D

I already thought, that there wouldn't be an easy solution, so never mind ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
The cutting tool in my app seems to have a bug where the lasso freezes on the screen and won't go away with the red cross, and when I zoom it's still there (and doesn't change shape). I can draw as usual under it so it's like it's not there but it still is visible. This have accured since one could select the lasso by pressing the button twice, and the only way to get out of it is getting to the notebook board and back. Is it just me having these issues?

And another thing, when I use the hover to scroll function it only goes for about half the width of the screen before I have to remove the pen and hover again. Is this ment to be or is it just my tablet having these issues as well?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: There is a minor bug in the present version v2.3.2 that causes the problem that you observe, this will no longer occur after the next update (I plan to upload v2.3.3 on Thursday).

I just checked on my Note 10.1, both manual and automatic hover scrolling work as intended. Are you referring to manual or automatic hover scrolling?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] Thanks for your answer! I hadn't realized that the text drawing tool would be updated with the rest of the drawing tools (I thought only the "drawing" drawing tools - i.e. the ones that make shapes - were going to be updated next). That's excellent news!

I was using Microsoft OneNote earlier today and I had an idea: would it be possible to add an option to make the text drawing tool to start writing as soon as we touch the screen, without having to actually draw a box? Something similar to what happens in OneNote on a PC, I don't know if you are familiarized with that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: The functionality that you suggest is essentially setting an implicit text drawing box from the place that you click at to the right and bottom page boundary (or to the left and bottom page boundary if your writing direction is right-to-left instead of left-to-right). Interesting idea, I noted it down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
I uploaded v2.3.3 into the app stores in which the issues with video recording (@Tintinnuntius) and the frozen selection in connection with the stylus button (@Axel_ and others) are solved.

The major change is an improved handling of JavaScript custom paper pattern: There is now a simple full screen editor (no dialog box anymore) and, most importantly, a collection of templates to choose from. Based on this, JavaScript custom drawing tools will be the next major change scheduled for v2.4 (but there might be one or two intermediate updates before).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
Yes, that's exactly it. It would be really useful for me since it would make taking typed notes in class quicker and easier (since sometimes the lecturer speaks so fast that it's easier to type the notes with a physical keyboard than to use the spen)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
Here's a crazy idea I've just had :) No, really. I usually rotate my tablet 45 degrees so as to write more comfortably without hurting my wrist. This works well when the tablet is lying on a desk. But if you wanted to write when you're lying on your back and the tablet is vertical (say, when enjoying a nice day in the park propped up against a tree), this would involve balancing the tablet on a corner, which is extremly uncomfortable. Would it be possible to implement some sort of free page rotation (i.e. arbitrary angle instead of just multiples of 90 degrees)?

I could probably just make a custom pattern angled at 45 degrees and then cut&rotate each paragraph once I'm done writing it, but I figured build-in non-typical page rotation might be an interesting feature now that the summer is coming and people try to get away from their desks :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
That's nice to hear!

It's the automatic I'm referring to, when I try to hover all the way across the page I have to to it in two or more steps.

It's the automatic I'm referring to.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: OK, I noted that down.

[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: This is possible, but an angle will make drawing very slow, I do not think that this will too much fun.

[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: You are probably using a rather small value for the boundary, right?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] 501 - not implemented:
Great App!

Hello,

I use this App everday for readings at the university about 2 months and it works great!

Maybe I'm missing 2 little things:

1) a arrow-drawing tool (like the line-drawing-tool)

2) a goniometer to draw trigonometric functions.

But all in one it's better than the s-note app (for me)

Greetings
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: I investigated the issue with automatic hover scrolling that you reported in somewhat more detail. Note that you need to move the S-pen to keep on scrolling (for instance at the bottom of the display, keep moving left to right a little bit), otherwise LectureNotes will not receive `hover move´ events and scrolling will stop after 500ms. This is a security measure, as occasionally Android `forgets´ to tell LectureNotes that you have lifted your stylus and does not send a `hover exit´ event, and without such security measure, scrolling would continue forever.

[MENTION=5072759]501 - not implemented[/MENTION]: Glad to hear that. The next intermediate update v2.4 will allow for custom drawing tools coded in JavaScript (similar to the custom paper pattern), this will allow for arrows and other features.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] JustFlesh:
Great! It would be awesome to have a webside or a thread in the forums where we could share custom scripts, or even some kind of play store integration, like themes for keyboards.

I'm really looking forward for trigonometrical funktions and arrows, as an electrical engineering student I have to draw those every day.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
That explains it, now it works as intended even for me. Thanks!

There is one for the background actually, a link is posted a lot in this thread but you can find it by Google something like "custom backgrounds LectureNotes".
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3531784]JustFlesh[/MENTION]: This is the idea behind that. As pointed out by Alex_, there is already a special thread for custom paper patterns coded in JavaScript (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1936617), the examples that I posted there are included in LectureNotes since v2.3.3 (click on `custom´ in the notebook settings, then `use template´ in the main menu, this yields an overview).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] hygradeb:
Out if interest are you going to work on the possibility to add the option different type of paper in a note book instead automatically added the same type.

I, e plan paper after a line paper, so you can be as random as you wish
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4131263]hygradeb[/MENTION]: I am thinking about this, but I am presently undecided how to code it most efficiently. Paper pattern is coded as a notebook property since the very first app version, and to change that in a way that everything else continues to work requires clever planning. To simplify things, one could constrains individual paper pattern to plain, ruled, and checkered, but if one wishes to allow also image and custom paper pattern individually for pages, the implementation will get pretty complicated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Couldn't one code that in JavaScript? (Apparently not since Acadoid didn't mention it), but since you could add what page you're at you obviously can do some changes depending on the page. I'm thinking of some "switch-case" statement with the page number or date or whatever you like to base your different backgrounds on as switch and the different options like blank page as case like "blank page if page number is odd).

But then again, I've not been programming in a long time and never with JavaScript..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: Sure, one can code that in JavaScript (in fact, one of the examples in the app's help page is about that, it is essentially a switch command as you wrote), the problem with that approach is that you need to change the JavaScript code when you insert or delete a page or when you reorder pages.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Wow, I didn't expect that to work! But could one make the switch command "open dialog box and choose what paper you like for the new page" with the option simply the one you have in the case statements when adding a new page? To me that somehow solves the problem since one might like to add ruled when writing and checked when doing math and once you've wrote any of that on a page you don't want another background. But maybe that's really tricky to implement?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: The problem is that adding a page, removing a page, or reordering pages would require to alter the JavaScript code, either manually or automatically.

For example, lets say you have two ruled pages (pages 1 and 2), three checkered pages (pages 3, 4, and 5), one ruled page (page 6), and two checkered pages (pages 7 and 8), so that the switch command would be

switch (LN.getPage()) {
case 1: case 2: case 6:
LN.drawRuledPattern(LN.getScale(), false);
break;
case 3: case 4: case 5: case 7: case 8:
LN.drawChecketrePattern(LN.getScale(), false);
break;
}

and now you insert a page between page 1 and 2 with ruled paper, then the code would have to be altered to

switch (LN.getPage()) {
case 1: case 2: case 3: case 7:
LN.drawRuledPattern(LN.getScale(), false);
break;
case 4: case 5: case 6: case 8: case 9:
LN.drawChecketrePattern(LN.getScale(), false);
break;
}

To do that manually is very error-prone, and I do not see how to automatically parse JavaScript and to do the alternation automatically.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Hmm, it turns out I was completely wrong about the way LectureNotes handles the background. I thought it connected the background to the page somehow but it obviously is much more complicated than that :o
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: No, it is (at least at the moment) a property of a given notebook.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mineblaster:
#2 - the problem with the current approach is that on documents where I use a lot of colors, I have to tap twice on a color, look through the list for the right shade of whatever color I want, tap close, then go back to writing, and repeat the process if I want to use the (previous) color that I just replaced. Normally, it might not be a huge issue, but when I'm taking notes in a fast-paced lecture, this takes too long.

#3 - Either approach is fine - being able to replace the entire set with the right colors would be great.

Another request: with standard pencils, you have the ability to set the color and the widths differently. It would be great if we can do that with custom pencils, as well. (Instead of having three boxes for each standard color, we could just have one box per color and use the remaining boxes for specifying varying widths of the currently selected (color) pencil.)

EDIT - I was just reading through the previous pages, and I noticed your response to someone else's request for different widths/colors. It would still be great if this was possible, but I understand if you can't do it because it requires a complete rewrite. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Hey Acadoid! Have to request another feature, how about broken lines as an option in the custom pencil menu? it could be easy for the user setting it as, for example, "5,10,2,7", meaning 5mm drawing, 10mm blank, 2mm drawing, 7mm blank and repeat. it could be useful with stright lines, circles and squares too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5295824]mineblaster[/MENTION]: I will see what I can do concerning picking up a color. One question: Should it pick up only the actual color or the alpha as well? Both approaches have pros and cons. In any case, line width and other properties will not be altered.

[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: The next intermediate update v2.4 will come with custom drawing tools coded in JavaScript, this will allow to code all kinds of drawing tools, including dashed lines. Note that I plan to have a minor update v2.3.4 before that which will allow, among other things, to crop images and PDF upon import.

does notebook/tablet resolution affect pen accuracy?

Hi, this may be an odd question but I am wondering if pen accuracy in the LectureNotes app is affected by the notebook resolution (while using a Galaxy Note 10.1)?

I've been experimenting with different pressure filters and settings to try to improve the accuracy of my pen writing in Lecturenotes (trying to remove some extraneous pen marks that appear from time to time that would not have shown up if I was writing with traditional pen and paper). I feel like I tried everything with the filters and I am curious if resolution would have any affect.

If so, can someone recommend a resolution I should use in LectureNotes (on an Note 10.1)?

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5184200]gnoteuser2013[/MENTION]: Android passes coordinates to apps as floats and not as integers, so that the display resolution does not affect per se. Nevertheless, the resolution of the coordinates is finite.

Coordinates are kept as floats in LectureNotes until the stroke is drawn into the page, at which point the notebook resolution comes into play. However, Android's drawing machinery is pretty decent, so if the notebook resolution isn't too low (imagine a notebook of, let's say 12 times 18 pixels) it should not impact.

If you click on the `?´ aside the `paper size´ in the new notebook dialog, LectureNotes gives recommendations concerning the notebook resolution. The best choice is usually if the notebook resolution matches the display resolution in your preferred device orientation. For instance, if you are using your device in landscape, so that (assuming that you are using a Note 10.1) the display is 1280 times 800, then the best choice is 1280 times 1811 for a portrait A4 paper.

BTW: A pressure filter of 5% or so (and disabling the other filters) should resolve strange `tails´ that occur on some Note 10.1 devices.

share selection

Hi,

I use this brilliant app for a couple of weeks now and am quite satisfied what it does for my needs.

One thing doesn't work for me: to share a selection. I use the cutting tool for making a selection and hit the share button and use the share selection menue. The graphic file is created but it is always empty (transparent) and the size and ration does not match the selection.

Any hints?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: I just double-checked and cannot reproduce the problem, I shared from LectureNotes to different apps and `share selection´ worked as intended. Note that `share selection´ shares only the material in the active layer (no layer merging!), but since you mention that size and aspect ratio does not fit this is most likely not the problem. To which app did you try to share? Note that you also share to LectureNotes, what happens in this case?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Today it have removed half a page two times and it says something like "cannot read page from file system, trouble ahead!", I've not changed anything recently and have never had any troubles like this before. Any idea why, and more importantly, how do I make it stop?!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: Sorry to hear about the problem. I guess you have checked that there is sufficient space on your SD card? The error message indicates that an error occurs while reading one of the files, which in theory should never happen (or at least only when the SD card is full). What you can try is to reboot your device, if the file system on the SD card got somehow damaged, I reboot usually recovers from that. If the problem persists after a reboot, it might be that the SD card is damaged.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Thanks for your answer!

Actually I'm using the internal memory, and I have at least a couple of GB left. I rebooted the device twice actually without any luck, and that makes me worried that there might be a problem with the tablet itself. I recently had an SD card exchanged for the same reason and even though I have warranty for the Note having it replaced or fixed will take a while.

I did change the folder LectureNotes saves the files in, hopefully that'll do :)
