Ideas, improvements

Hi, I'm a huge user of lecture notes, which changed a lot my note taking habits, thanks to the developper

I was just wondering if we can create a notepad "agenda", whose background would be an agenda, which 1st page is the creation date, and new pages will be the next weeks ..

in 2 backgrounds : white & black ( i usually write on black board, battery saver & better for my eyes when it's getting dark .. )

So main idea is > create new agenda > get the current week ( maybe a split 1st page : monday, tuesday, wednesday, 2nd page : thursday, friday, saturday & sunday , cause less things to write on a weekend basis ) + It might flip from left to right, like images

Whereas current scroll is vertical, this one would be horizontal, volume control will scroll them also

I guess this feature will enable it as a "Snote & cal killer application"

I'm wondering if there's any portage planned on windows 8, cause windows journal .. is not enough for me

Kind regards, keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
This is actually something you or someone with a little bit of JavaScript skills can do by your own! There's a thread about backgrounds for LectureNotes somewhere at XDA where they have some different backgrounds that includes some different lines and date/weekday, maybe you can find what you want there or at least get some useful features to help you on the way.

By the way, is there any way of disabiling the "hover to pan the page" at the top of the screen where the bar is? I'm always accidentally trigger it when I'm selecting a tool or something there and it's driving me crazy!

To disable hover scroll: Settings>Input>Hover Setup>Allow hover scrolling
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] bramdebacker:
I know the feeling bro..

There are 2 settings for this, you have to disable them both to stop the hover panning.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Thanks, but I like the hover pan function and know how to disable it if I like to. The thing is that I like to disable the function for the top side only, so that it doesn't hover whenever I'm changing the tool.

I can't find those settings, do you mean stop the hover panning completely or just the one side I'm talking about? Because I like the hover function beside from that, if the zones are adjusted correctly I don't have any troubles with accidentally panning on the other sides.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] bramdebacker:
I don't think it's possible to change the setting for one side, but you could turn off the automatic hover panning and use manual hover panning instead. This would mean pressing the button on your stylus and hovering over the screen. Haven't tested this myself but I suppose it works. Go to settings>input and at the bottom of the list, tap on Hover Setup. You can find some options there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Well, part of the reason I ask in this thread is because of the awesome developer here that might make a setting for it :)

Well, I suppose you can but that will probably disable the "switch to eraser" function of the button and won't make it as easy as it is now. No, if that's the only solution panning manually is a far better option for me.

But thanks anyway :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
I would GUESS that acadoid won't be able to really change the behaviour at all because I'm assuming he's utilizing the standard function of the ROM where any app that allows panning can do so by hovering near the edge. He would have to implement all new algorithms to control it in LectureNotes. I could be dead wrong though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] bramdebacker:
You're right, I just tested it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4698406]ben749[/MENTION]: There are several calendar examples in the thread that JamMasterClay quoted. I plan to provide a kind of day planer extension some time in the future.

[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: So hover scrolling only at the display bottom? Or only at the bottom, left, and right? One could add options for all four display sides. Interesting idea, I noted it down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
Yup, I was wrong. I actually would also find this function extremely useful. I'd like hover to scroll only when at the bottom edge. I never mentioned it because I assumed it would be quite difficult to implement.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Every side but the one where the menu is would be great for me, but maybe someone would prefer only the down side or only to the sides. So I guess the best solution would be able to individually select what sides to pan and not, but just not the top is good enough for me!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
I have a question about " highlighting" . Let's say I import an image of a document as a .jpg. How can I go about highlighting on that?

Am I missing something where.I can make a pen translucent? The draw behind feature isn't seen because it's behind the entire image. Anything else just covers over the section I want. Is there something I can do with layers that would make this work?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Custom pencil settings > Alpha

Decrease the value and you'll have translucent pencil ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: As described by Robdyx, reduce the value of alpha for the pencil; `draw behind other colors´ will work only if the imported image contains translucent parts, then a pencil with this property will be visible there. If you wish to avoid to alter the imported image, import the image into layer 1 and highlight in layer 2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] davidlondono:
new stuff

there are some features i like to be added to the app:

the galaxy note have a problem at the border when u are writing, so add a bordder to a page where u cant write, like a editable limit

add a pattern with margin, like a real notebook, so u coud write on border if u need to(then the first on the list whould not be nessesary)

when u have a page on no zoom, it set automatic on 100%, and on no zoom, the page float every where u want. but i like, as the snote, to be only floating on one way..... this is because the border problem, if i whant to use all the page, the border isnt acury so i cant use it, so with a no zoom editable, to be with a standar set zoom, and floating only on Yaxis it could be nicer

add the value of this no zoom on the setting of the notebook

other thing, is when u change the way to look, the rotation), it resize the zoom, so is not like the same size u are using on the other possition

i use it with the setting to move the page with 2 fingers, so when i move the page on no zoom it resize, and i dont like to change the zoom

i really like ur app, so i like help to make it better XD
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
1, the zoom feature will do just that, try zoom out a little!

2, Can easily be done in JavaScript, and in the thread with backgrounds it probably exists.

3, Try select or deselect "floating page", and the feature that keeps the upper right corner in the upper right. This will be in handling I guess.

4, ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] davidlondono:
well, i like to put the margin without touching any code, its better visual, i dont like to go and create a pattern for every notebook i whant

and the problem with the zoom, is that i move the page with 2 fingers, to prevent it to move when i put my hand over the screan, so when i move it with zoom, it change the amount of zoom, it is annoying
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
Disable continuous zooming with two fingers in the settings. You can zoom by clicking the zoom button and choosing one of the preset levels. About 90% leaves just enough margin on both sides and you can set five other zoom levels you use most.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: I uploaded v2.3 yesterday that allows to set the hover scrolling individually for the four display boundaries.

[MENTION=4644157]davidlondono[/MENTION]: You would like not to use display area on your 10 inch tablet? Personally, I wonder why no company is selling 14 inch tablets (which corresponds to an A4 page), I would consider this a much more suitable size.

In any case, to draw boundary lines is easy, I collect custom paper pattern JavaScript codes at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1936617, for instance post #4 contains such example.

An alternative is to enable `free floating pages´ in the app's handling settings (as suggested by Axel_), then you can move the notebook page boundaries away from the display boundary to avoid problematic display area.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
About the hover panning function, is it just me having very much of a "ketchup effect" when using it when the zoom is set high? That is, I'm getting close to the boundary and it doesn't pan, getting a bit closer and it still doesn't pan, getting closer and... And BAM it makes a big jump before I'm having time to react. Is there any way to get something like the closer you are (within the percentage one choose to activate the function that is) the faster it pan? There might be some other setting that does this that I have missed though..

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: Actually, the scrolling velocity is proportional to how close to the boundary the stylus is, so that there shouldn't be any discontinuous behavior. Which value for the boundary did you set? Maybe this is due to a distortion of the coordinates, similar to the one that some Galaxy Note 10.1 users suffer from when writing close to the display boundary, but just for the hover? It might be worthwhile to try a larger value for the boundary (5% or 10%) to see whether the problem disappears.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I had it to 5% and setting it to 10% actually helped alot, thanks! I'm still not able to pan quite as slowly as I like to though, even if I guess that's more of a personal preference than a real problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: One could make the velocity of automatic hover scrolling adjustable (with the present behavior as 100%), I noted that down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
Hey, I remember seeing a question before about a protractor feature for the line drawing tool, and it sounded like that was on a to do list. It's that something that ever happened? My lines are always so tilted, I could just use something letting me know it is indeed " level" .

Can I record video without audio?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: Custom drawing tools are the next major point on my to-do-list.

[MENTION=4881246]ordeniz[/MENTION]: When you use LectureVideos, video and audio are written to separated files, and if you wish to create a container file such as MP4 without the audio, just do not include it. If you wish to use a voice over recorded separately, you can do that as well, include this audio instead of the one recorded by LectureVideos. More complicated arrangements probably require a video processing tool.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] 299792458:
Acadoid let me say u are the man. Kudos to you and your brilliant creation LectureNotes. By far BEST IN CLASS.

Now I wish to humbly ask that audio and video be in one file. In a format that I can play on my Note and in VLC without conversion. Or an option to "save as".

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1864277]299792458[/MENTION]: For legal reasons, I cannot include a so-called multiplexer into LectureVideos (multiplexing is the process by which the video and audio stream are combined into one single so-called container file such as MP4, AVI, or MKV). LectureVideos only uses what is provided by Android, and Android does (presently) not provide a multiplexer. Hence, LectureVideos produces two files per session, an encoded video file with extension `h264´ and an encoded audio file with extension `3gp´. To produce a container file, you need to use a tool such as FFmpeg which is available for all OS. Lets say you have video1.h264 (the video stream) and video1.3gp (the audio stream), you can produce an MP4 file using the command

ffmpeg -r 12 -i video1.h264 -i video1.3gp -b 1.5M video1.mp4

where `-r 12´ states the frame rate (12 frames per second) and `-b 1.5M´ sets the output bit rate to 1.5Mbits per second. The resulting MP4 container file video1.mp4 can be viewed with all video viewers and uploaded to YouTube etc.

There are FFmpeg ports for Android available in Google Play, but I would rather recommend to perform the multiplexing on a `normal´ computer. If you insist to do that on your Android device, you could use for instance the `FFmpeg Media Encoder´. Lets say you have video1.h264 and video1.3gp in the directory /storage/sdcard0, then select the 3gp file as input (/storage/sdcard0/video1.3gp), set an MP4 file as output (/storage/sdcard0/video1.mp4), and use

-r 12 -i /storage/sdcard0/video1.h264 -b 1.5M

as additional parameters.

Hey Developer, wondering when I hit Notebook replay. It would be awesome as the recording plays the texts writes as a replay. I write time stamps in my notes so I can go back in the recording
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=517151]drozek[/MENTION]: With LectureRecordings, the actual writing process is not replayed (but you can search for the moment in time during which you wrote something, automatically forwarding the audio to that moment). The actual writing process is replayed when using LectureVideos, but this extension actually aims at producing tutorial videos with LectureNotes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
When devideing a page horizontally, is it possible to get the lower part on the top of the new page?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION];: You can do that manually with the cutter tool; to do that automatically (as an option) is an interesting idea, I noted it down.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Thanks for your response!

Of course you can but it seems simpler to use the page break tool. And even in MS Office that one must say is the business standard for productive tools like this the page break (Ctrl + Enter) moves what's left on the previous page to the very top of the next, I can't honestly say any situation I would like it at the bottom. But as always, others might and a setting to decide is probably the best.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION];: I guess that it depends on how you understand this page division. In any case, I added an option in the app's handling settings, enabling it places material below (or right of) the division line at the top (or the left) of the new page. This will be available with the next update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I can totally understand that, I just can't think of any time I would like the bottom of a page to get to the very bottom of the next since I read the pages from up to down and that would result in me reading the last bit first. But as always you come up with a solution that let everyone choose according to their preferences and I guess that is why almost everybody rank your app at the very top and even ipad users are missing it on their devices. Keep the good work up sir!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your kind comments. BTW: The latest version 2.3.1 allows to lower hover scrolling velocity.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] bacckom:
Hello,

first: Thanks for this niche App. I like. It is the best S-Pen app.

It would be nice, if I can draw a rectagle with rounded corners. Is it possible to add?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1699731]bacckom[/MENTION]: I receive a lot of requests concerning new or improved drawing tools. What I will do soon is to add an JavaScript interface similar to the custom paper pattern interface so that everyone can define her/his own drawing tools. This will include the possibility for rectangles with rounded corners.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I known you've talked about some integration with the camera in the device like many other note taking apps got, would it be possible to integrate some kind of "cam scanner app" functionality as well? That is, an algorithm that detects the blackboard or paper and cut away the rest after which it make it centered and straight even if the photo is taken with an angle. To make it clearer it adjust the contrast and optionally inverts the colors. As you know, blackboards are usually black, blue or green and the high contrast makes the background close to black and the chalk really stand out. The invertation of the colors makes what's written in chalk black and the background white, just as the rest of the notes (at least for me). Since note taking on lectures is one of the main usage of the app (obviously) such a feature would be really useful!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: There are apps that can do that, but I agree, such extension would be useful and is already on my to-do-list, but rather on mid term.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I know and I use some of them parallel to LectureNotes. It would be a little bit easier if it were in the LectureNotes app itself and that would probably be very helpful for those who are more users than technology freaks like myself :D

border offsets

Hi

Thank you for the LectureNotes app, it is one of the most important apps on my Note 10.1.

If it is not too difficult, I would like to recommend a feature where I can change the horizontal/vertical offsets just along the borders of the tablet. I notice that if I write near the edges of the screen, the writing is not so accurate.

If this is not possible to address, no worries. This is just a minor annoyance that I can work around regardless. This app has already done so much for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5184200]gnoteuser2013[/MENTION]: To allow for a position-dependent offset is feasible but rather involved, in particular as this offset would need to be a smooth function of the position (so that there are no `jumps´). Additionally, I do not see how to let user adjust it to the device.

What you can do instead is to enable `allow free floating´ in the app's handling settings, this allows to move the notebook pages away from the boundary.

I have a question, I use lecture notes in both Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Note 10.1 and restored the same books across both. Now, if i backup my notes from Note 2 to Dropbox and tried to sync with Note 10.1 notes by restoring from Dropbox backup of Note 2, the notebooks are duplicated.

How do we keep both both the notes in sync as I use Note 2 for office meetings and Note 10.1 for external meetings.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4401951]leojab[/MENTION]: I am not entirely sure whether I understood the problem correctly, so please take my reply with caution, but when you have setup syncing the app directories of LectureNotes on both devices, it is sufficient to restore the backup on one device, as this content will get synced to the second device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I think the reason you get duplicates are that when you are restoring the notes what you really do is copy the notebooks to the Dropbox folder. And since you have set up a sync, the very same books are already in the folder where LectureNotes saves your note and you get duplicates.

However, this is how I solve the "tablet and phone problem":

1, Set up foldersync or a similar app to sync the folder you have your notes in to Dropbox and reverse on your tablet and phone. There's usually a slight delay though, so it takes a minute or two before the notes are in sync.

2.Set the in LectureNotes on your phone to the folder you have synced.

3. You're done and you don't have to do anything on either device but wait for LectureNotes to update the notebook board. This is probably your problem, you don't have to do anything to make LectureNotes find the notes but wait (maybe there's a refresh button but I've not found any).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] leojab:
@_Axel Using Foldersync is a great solution. Now, i have synced the Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotes folder with Dropbox and sync the same with my tablets.

Now it is great

Thanks

Just curious, when is the next release with custom drawings being planned? Am excited
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4401951]leojab[/MENTION]: I plan that for the next medium release v2.4, but there will be a few minor releases before.

I am presently finalizing v2.3.2 which I will upload in the next days. It will come with an improved input zone (not relevant for users with a Galaxy Note 10.1) and several minor improvements. [MENTION=770925]alex_[/MENTION]: One improvement will be that sharing or viewing a PDF file while having a notebook open in notebook overview will allow you to directly import multiple pages into that notebook, which will complement the already existing functionality for single page import when having a notebook open in content view.

I am almost done with an improved editor for JavaScript code (to get rid of the present dialog box), which I plan to provide as a minor release to get user feedback. If this works well, custom drawing tools will be next.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
This might sound like a crazy idea but, would it be possible to get different pen to draw on different layers? The reason I came up with this idea is because I like to highlight and make small annotations in my notes afterwards and I always forgot to change what layer to work on so I have to delete even the notes if I want to change afterwards.

Besides, is it possible to change name on the layers? When having one for PDF, one for notes and sometimes one for other annotations and highlights it's tricky to remember which is what. Especially since the layers are specific for each notebook.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: To have different pencils for different layers is feasible but maybe a bit difficult to handle, isn't it? Something related that has already been suggested is to pre-set custom pencils to a specific layer, but I am also a bit reluctant here.

To allow to name layers is on my to-do-list. The reason why this is still pending is that I wanted to add this in a broader context, for instance to allow to set an alpha value (translucency) for each layer, etc.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Yes that's what I meant as well, maybe I wasn't clear. I just want an option that makes a pencil always draw in the "annotation and highlight layer" and not "notes" layer to be able to delete and change just the highlights and notes later on or if I want to give the lecture notes only to someone.

I see, that sounds like a great improvement!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] leojab:
Is there any way I can select a portion of the Lecturenotes Recordings? Currently i am able to record the audio and now I want to remove certain portions of the audio file.. Is it possible to add this feature? And also an option to tap anywhere and play the audio from there while it is replaying instead of searching the audio.

Thanks in advance.
