A program like moviemaker and maybe some similar app for the audio seems like an good option, at least until he integrate it in the app (if he does).

[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: To automatically direct a given custom pencil to a given layer isn't too complicated, but what should happen if there isn't such layer? Automatically add the layer? Don't do anything?

[MENTION=4401951]leojab[/MENTION]: 1. To process the audio file is (presently) not possible with LectureRecordings, but there are numerous tools that can do that.

2. To forward the audio file to the point in time during which you wrote into a given area, select `Search recordings´ in the main menu and tap on the area in question (if there are several audio files, you will get a list to choose from).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
One way to get around it would be to have default layers for the app, that is not specific for each book. One could then add a layer specifically for the book but to change the default one had to get into the app settings and change for all.

Or the option "draw in layer 2 is there is such a layer" for the pens, but I like the idea of the same layer for all better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: There is already a `default´ layer in some sense, at least when you import images or PDF, you can set that in the app's import settings (`import image/PDF into´ and `work in´), but this helps only as long as you do not manually change the working layer.

I am not sure whether this has been addressed in the thread or not. But when I enable the "hide system bar" option in the settings and open/close a notebook (the system bar is hidden then un-hidden), my wallpaper is somehow changed to pure black.

I use the hide system bar option to prevent the notification from popping up when touched by my palm. Is it possible to add an option to disable just the notification instead of the whole system bar?

Thank you in advance for your help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4843618]goosechen[/MENTION]: That a static wallpaper gets reset is unfortunately a side effect of hiding the system bar (curiously, live wallpapers are not affected). I am not aware of any method to specifically disable the notification bar without hiding the system bar altogether (LectureNotes allows to dim the system bar to make it less distractive visually, but this does not affect the response to touch).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
Has anyone figured out a solution to the blank screen problem? Any new ideas of what could cause it? A glitch with memory or graphics? I've been using this app a lot lately so the blank-outs are getting annoying. I'm pretty sure it's not the app's problem since some people report having these in other apps, but I still hope someone who knows more than me about how these work could come up with a better guess.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: I cannot give any guarantee but several users told me that disabling `AirView´ in the device's settings solves the problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
Thanks, I'll give that a try then.

gents, you have created the most comprehensive faqs for LectureNotes, any chance that somebody can organize all the ideas here in one organized thread? please folks...pleaaase
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=449929]serouja[/MENTION]: I am not sure whether a thread is a good place for a FAQ, but one LectureNotes' user very recently set up a Wiki at http://lecturenotes.wikia.com/ which is waiting to be filled. Actually, it should be him to announce this Wiki, and I apologize that I mention it now, but since you suggest a FAQ, this might be the right place, and before someone sets up a second Wiki...

Note that the app comes with a help page, select `Help´ in any of the main menus, which is in large parts a kind of FAQ.

Note that there is a separate thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2214912 in which I post links to help resources, at the moment mainly videos.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] serouja:
I feel the wiki would be the best place to post the tips, what i mean is having a place where all the tricks mentioned here to be populated, let say your following advice :

something like that..

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mineblaster:
1. Thank you for the great app.

2. Can you implement a color picker option where you can tap on a particular location and the color of the current pencil changes to the color at that location? I often use multiple shades of the same color when writing notes, and it would be great if I can switch to a previous color quickly.

3. Is it possible to have a color palette per notebook or a set of named palette sets, so I can easily switch between them? When taking notes/drawing, I tend to reuse the same colors, but different notes/drawings might use a different set of colors, and it would be nice to predefine these.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5295824]mineblaster[/MENTION]: 1. Many thanks, glad to hear that.

2. To pick up a color is an interesting idea. Can't you get colors via the `recent colors´?

3. Custom pencils per notebook are feasible, but maybe to allow to save and load custom pencils might be a more general approach.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
Maybe you could expand each of the custom pallets to 9 pens instead of 6? I have set a regular pen and transparent highlighter for each color I use, so for the moment I'm limited to 6 colours, and I often find myself wanting just one or two more. You could make it optional, so the people who do not need so many colours can keep the smaller pallet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: The number of custom pencils can be increased; as you state yourself, the major problem is space, both in the custom pencil settings and in the pencil toolbox.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
So, maybe add an option to the menu to switch between 6 and 9 pencil toolbox?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Speaking of the custom pens I would love to have the ability to change the toolbox depending on my notebook or at least the background. I know one can set the pencils to "blackboard mode" to get the black color white, but since I have most notebooks with white background my custom pencils are in mostly dark colors because it obviously makes a better contrast to the background.

Would it be possible to have different custom pencils for the blackboard mode and the regular mode? And to set "blackboard mode" not in the app settings but in the notebook settings individually for each notebook would be better, at least to me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: I added six more custom pencils (so that there in total 18), I think that the size of the pencil toolbox is still OK. This will be part of the next update.

[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: I plan to add save and load custom pencil settings soon, this seems more general (and easier to handle) then assigning custom pencils to the notebooks. To allow `blackboard mode´ notebook dependent is an interesting idea, but maybe an option `auto blackboard mode´ is better, enabling which automatically changes to `blackboard mode´ if the paper color of the notebook is dark.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
That sure sounds better! Would it somehow be possible to make the dark custom pencils light as well? That is, if I have one that is very dark green it remains as it is in every way but the color that changes to very bright. Having black on one side, white on the other and "regular green" in the middle I think of something like mirror the color about the center.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: To lighten or darken colors is not trivial, this depends very much on human perception. I think to do that manually (meaning having two different custom pencil sets for `blackboard´ and for normal mode) is the better approach, even though this is initially more work.

LectureNotes does not appear in Share Menu in F-Stop Media app

Hi,

I recently got the app F-Stop Media Gallery, I prefer this app because it contains a "smart folder" option where I can more easily access and manage screenshots.

Unfortunately in this app, when I try to share an image, the LectureNotes option does not appear.

Is there any way to fix this?

Before I was using the QuickPic app which does show LectureNotes in the share option, but using Quickpic was very inconvenient as I had to navigate through multiple folders to access and manage my screenshots. And I haven't found another app with functionality similar to F-Stop that has LectureNotes included in share options.

I hope someone can help me out.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5184200]gnoteuser2013[/MENTION]: I downloaded this gallery app and performed a couple of tests. LectureNotes registers as receiver for MIME `image/jpeg´ and `image/png´. If I let LectureNotes also register as receiver for the generic MIME `image/*´ (which is not a good idea, as there are numerous image formats that LectureNotes cannot handle), it shows up as recipient for share intents in this gallery app. I conclude from this result that the authors of this gallery app do not set the MIME of the to-be-shared object correctly, either there is a typo in the MIME (it is passed as a string) or they use `image/´ (using the generic ´image/*´ would still work). This is, of course, only a guess, as I cannot see the source code of this gallery app. There is nothing I can do from my side (as I wrote, registering as receiver for the generic MIME `image/*´ is not a good idea), but consider to contact the authors of the gallery app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
I get a funny glitch if I move the toolbox while recording a video. It leaves a trail behind it. It looks like the end of a successful Windows solitaire game :) It only appears in the edges (i.e. off paper), so it is only visible if your zoom is not set to 100%. It is visible in the video, though. Any chance to have the option of removing the toolbox from the video altogether? Like putting it into another layer, so it is visible and normally accessible while recording but not in the resulting video?

Is there a way to do the same with the background pattern? I like to have the squares visible when I write to help me write straight, but I always print the final result on a blank sheet and think the videos would look cleaner with a plain white background as well.

Great add-on otherwise. It should come in handy for making tutorial videos.

Also, I had no more problems with the blank screen since I've disabled the air view. Thanks again for the tip!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5184200]gnoteuser2013[/MENTION]: I investigated this problem somewhat further, this gallery app uses `image/jpg´ as MIME for both JPEG as well as PNG, which is wrong for two reasons: The MIME of PNG is `image/png´, and there is no MIME `image/jpg´, the correct MIME is `image/jpeg´ (see RFC 2046, http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046). There is also a problem when you use this gallery app for image import, it does not give back the URI of the selected file.

[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: Oops, you are right, the area outside the pages does not get updated correctly while video recording, I will fix that for the next update.

LectureVideos records the display content including input zone, safe zone, toolbox etc. Not to display that in the video is feasible but technically somewhat non-trivial. Not to display the paper pattern is even more complicated, this would mean to build the layer hierarchy twice, once for the video and once for the device display, which would double drawing-time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gorann77:
F-Stop

I am developer of the gallery in question here. I was just wondering why you think we don't set URI, since we do, and it also seems Lecture Notes manages to import images just fine from F-Stop. I might be missing something, and in that case I would like to fix it.

You are correct about the first part, and I will fix it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5303975]gorann77[/MENTION]: Nice gallery app!

Many thanks for commenting on my post.

Where do you place the URI of the image? In `onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)´, `resultCode´ is `RESULT_OK´, but `intent.getData()´ returns null instead of a reference to an URI. Do you pass the URI as an extra?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gorann77:
This is the part of the code:

Intent intent = new Intent();
Uri uri = getUri(path, this);
intent.setData(uri);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);

If you do not get URI from F-Stop, how does LectureNotes manage to import image when I use "Import image" from the menu (of LectureNotes) and pick it with F-Stop?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5303975]gorann77[/MENTION]: I am puzzled. Does image selection in LectureNotes using F-Stop work for you? I just double-checked (on a Nexus 7), I cannot import images into LectureNotes using F-Stop, the intent that is passed to onActivityResult is empty and getData() yields null. I also tried a number of other apps which allow image import, and F-Stop did not work in any of them. Which device and Android version are you using?

One comment concerning the code snippet: I am not sure whether this is strictly required, but it is certainly advisable to set the MIME of the URI, either using setType or using setDataAndType instead of setData.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gorann77:
Well, I don't understand this either. It works for me in all apps I tried. Also in free version of Lecture Notes. I am using Nexus 7 (latest stock), but it works on all my devices. But I do from time to time get reports that import does not work for someone, but I just can't reproduce the problem, and usually it's not from creator of the app, so I can't really make any tests.

Also, it seems that for person who originally asked about my app in this thread (and is also in contact with me) importing images work (in Lecture Notes).

Can we maybe continue this discussion via email (I don't mind doing it here, but it's kind of thread about your app, not mine)? Would you be so kind to maybe run some test version, after I make some changes? My email is goran.nagy@gmail.com (just drop me an email if you want).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5303975]gorann77[/MENTION]: Many thanks, I will drop an email to you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aomumu:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] Would you be able to add the ability to copy an individual page to and from the clipboard when on a page rather than from the notebook overview. A couple of my books have several hundred pages and copying a page takes a long time to load notebook overview.

Hope that makes sense, it would make my life a lot easier.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2177940]aomumu[/MENTION]: Interesting idea. The UI of the copy to clipboard part would be a `Copy page X to clipboard´ (where `X´ is the current page) into the cutter menu; the UI of the paste from clipboard part would be two entries, `Paste pages from clipboard before page X´ and `Paste pages from clipboard after page X´ (where `X´ is the current page; it would be `pages´, as you could have copied several pages in notebook overview to the clipboard). Is it this what you have in mind?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aomumu:
Sounds perfect to me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] Hi! Are you planning on having a "draw table" available on the text layer? Or even in the text drawing tool, it would be awesome. Btw, you're planning on updating the text drawing tool right? What can we expect and when? Thanks for your outstanding job on this app
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: To support advanced word processing features (such as lists or tables) in the text layer is on my mid-term agenda.

More advanced drawing tools will come sooner. I am presently finalizing v2.3.3 which has an improved handling of custom paper pattern (a JavaScript editor, a graphical overview with example codes, etc.). The next step is then JavaScript custom drawing tools, this will allow for tables etc.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Just keep trying. Like me, you'll eventually "get" the process. It may take a double click depending on the use of pen or finger.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@sphere314: LectureNotes places all cut/copied selections on the Android system clipboard, and it gets whatever image is on the Android system clipboard if you choose `Paste from clipboard´ (only if there is nothing in the Android system clipboard, it falls back to its own last selection). You can test that this works by cut/copy something in the full version and paste it in the trial version, or the other way around. Are you sure that the other app places your selection on the Android system clipboard? Have you tried the inverse direction, paste something into the other app that was cut/copied in LectureNotes?

@cpd3020: This will be added soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
Thanks toenail_flicker, but I haven't found "my way" yet :(

Thanks acadoid.

I can see that the other apps place my selection on the Android system clipboard (I see those images as thumbnails when I tap on the clipboard viewer button placed on the bottom right corner of the standard keyboard). But I don't see (in the clipboard viewer) any image thumbnail of selections made by LN.

I've tried the reverse process (selecting and copying something in LN) then I switched to SNote and selected the text button to make the keyboard appear. Then I hit the clipboard viewer button. I could see all the images previously copied from internet as thumbnails, but the image copied from LN is showed as a

text sort of link

: "content://media/external/images/media/1086"

Maybe there's some system setting that I must tweak?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] optimus43:
key board

glad to hear it is on your ever growing to do list. I have had LN since I got my thinkpad and it has been great. I just cant seem to get the hang of s-note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
I don't use SNote. Don't care for it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] dpwhitty11:
I've noticed this bug now for the last few updates.

When you have the button on the s pen enabled and set to be the eraser when pressed, it stays in eraser mode if you have the button still pressed when you take the pen away from the screen. Previously you could do this and it would default back to, say, the pencil. But now, to have it go back to the pencil after erasing, you have to release the button while you're still erasing/have the pen active on the screen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Did you check your settings?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@dpwhitty11: Actually not a bug, some devices catch gestures such as clicking with stylus button pressed, so that the app does `see´ it. Hence, to allow all users to use their stylus button, the button is now detected already before clicking (in so-called `hover´ mode). As a consequence, it is also detected again when you lift your stylus, so that it looks as if the button function is not released. As you correctly describe, just release the stylus button before lifting the stylus, and the stylus button function is released.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] darkhandsome18:
Agree. Don't use S-Note. LN all the way
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] optimus43:
S-note does seem a bit flaky sometimes I jsut wish LN had bettter keyboard entry I really like using the hw recognition keyboard. Hate to say it but I think notes mobile on the thinkpad was better than S-note. Atlghouth I think the same company makes them both.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@sphere314: Complex objects such as images are stored in the Android system clipboard as URIs. Difficult to say why you see thumbnails of the other images, but not of the image cut/copied from LectureNotes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
I've seen that the only thing that is pasted in LN is something previously copied or cut within LN itself and that selection is also automatically saved in LN directory:

sdcard/Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotes/files/selection.png

So my installation of LN apparently doesn't access the Android clipboard.

Am I the only one to have this problem? maybe I could try an uninstall-reinstall? (I'm on the paid version of LN)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Pasting, for me as well, can only be done from inside LN, that is specifically related to moving info around within LN. OTOH when I want to bring in an image from the clipboard is use "import image" from the menu on the top right, fourth item from the top. Is that what you're using, or just trying "paste"?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
I'm trying to paste an image (copied say from the browser) directly into LN using the "Paste from clipboard" command available in the "Cutter menu".

I understood that was possible after reading acadoid's reply to your post

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 know I can import an image, but I wanted to avoid having to save it somewhere before importing it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
Now I have 3 questions - 2 for you, and the 3rd one for other users.

1. Are you rooted? I am.

2. If the answer to one is yes, are you also using some form of Apps to SD?

3. How are you other users getting images into LN from the external clipboard?

I honestly can't remember doing it any way other than import, keeping in mind that I rarely import images and my primary use of LN is pure notation. The last time I imported anything was at the time of my post you referred to, and I'm fairly sure I used import since I was making templates for paper backgrounds.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
I'm not rooted (yet) and I didn't either change LN's default settings for its storage location.

Pasting from clipboard could be sometimes useful for me when I write notes, i.e. pasting a complex math formula taken from wikipedia or also some formula written and recognized in SNote.

I wouldn't be crazy if that were not possible, but if that is possible (as acadoid says) I don't understand why I (we?) can't do it (it could mean there's some bad setting in my GNote).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
These screenshots may clarify, if they can be read.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@sphere314: LectureNotes definitely uses the Android system clipboard. Maybe I fundamentally misunderstood the description at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/copy-paste.html and related documentation, but according to my understanding, anything that is more complex that text is put on the Android system clipboard as an URI pointing to the actual object (this is what LectureNotes does), and there can be at any time only one object on the Android system clipboard (hence I wonder how you can see multiple things on the clipboard). Which app are you using as `source´ for the image? I tried most apps that I have on my devices (including web browsers etc.), but none offers me to copy an image to the Android system clipboard. The maximum thing they offer is to `share´ them to another app.
