[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
Thx for your fast answer!

I tryed to share to different apps like evernote, dropbox and lecturenote.

I have a one layer Lecturenote-notebook with some written text. After selecting by drawing a rectangle with the cutter tool I hit the share button and choose share selection and after this I choose Lecturenote as app.

This will open the notebook I made the selection of and give me a selection-box of no size (all 4 edge-buttons close to each other).

Am I handling anything wrong?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: It is the correct behavior that you are brought back to the same notebook when you select LectureNotes as recipient, but that the insertion is empty is pretty weird. It is difficult to see why the selection is not correctly written. Is there any other `strange´ behavior when using LectureNotes or another app? What happens if you copy the selection, does that yield a correct insertion? Lets say you abort this insertion and select `Paste form clipboard´ in the cutter menu, does the correct insertion come back?

My usual suggestion in case of such weird behavior is to reboot the device. Android gets occasionally a bit dazed and needs a fresh start.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
Both works fine. Copy and Cut as well as abort and use "Paste from clipboard".

I have done this with no effect. The image is a selection I made. There is some blue. But it has been 5 lines of handwritten Text.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: Quite weird. The image that you posted, is this the file `selection.png´ that LectureNotes uses to store the selection? If not, could you have a look into the LectureNotes' app directory, the file is stored there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
The image I posted is the shared one. It is the same result in dropbox, picasa, evernote, ...

In the LecuterNotes app directory is a file called selection.png as well. This one is correct and the exact selection I made. So this part works fine.

If I share a complete notebook or a single page it works fine. Just the selection doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: Really strange. Maybe the selection is too small? Have you tried to select and share a larger area?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
It was a quarter of a page. I tried a larger selection. This time the file selection.png in the app dir is broken as well. Maybe last time the file was ok because I copied and pasted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: I am very puzzled, I do not understand why writing the selection doesn't work. I have checked that numerous times on my test devices and did not observe any problem. Have you tried to share the whole page (there is an entry `Share page´ in the share menu)? Does that work?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
Yes that works every time.

Thanks for your help and patience. I use the workaround with sharing the whole page. As it seems noone else is having this issue it must be specific for my device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mannyvzla:
Man, the more I use the app the more I love it. Playing with custom pencil opacity and filled rectangles I have set up a complete highlighting system for my notes. Couldn't be more pleased, now I use it for my daily work at the office for tasks and gtd. This scheme of note taking and highlighting inspired two of my coworkers to buy their own note 10.1 and of course to buy lecture notes as well. Thanks

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: I am still puzzled by the problem that you reported. One question: Does it make a difference whether the material that you share is entirely opaque or contains transparent regions? The latter is the standard case when you try to share material which contains lines, the former case can be achieved for instance by drawing a larger opaque rectangle, selecting inside the rectangle, and sharing that.

[MENTION=4125015]mannyvzla[/MENTION]: Glad to hear that, many thanks. The next update v2.3.4 (scheduled for release end of June) will allow to save/load custom pencils to/from palettes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
Ah, we are getting closer. Share a selection with opaque rectangle and even text on it works fine. So the problem seems to be the transparent background.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
[MENTION=4125015]mannyvzla[/MENTION]

Man, have you ever tried 'Pencil draws behind other colors'? Even with full Alpha, it's way better for highlighting!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: OK, so the problem seems to be writing small bitmaps to a PNG file with transparency (I write small bitmaps as the notebook pages are also written as PNG file with transparency). BTW: Which device are you using? Stock or custom ROM? Rooted?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
If the selection is nearly a full page it doesn't work.

With selection and copy the korrect selection.png is created in the app directory.

With selection and share the wrong file is created if the selection has a transparent background.

The device has the original ROM 4.1.2 with Kernel 3.0.31-805288

Include paper pattern into shared page different to the one that I'm using

Hello! I really Love lecture notes! It's the best app for the galaxy note! Kudos for this amazing app!!! ;)

I would like to know if it is possible to export on an specific pattern by default instead of the one the I'm using, for instance I like working on a ruled pattern but I want that every time I export to pdf all of my notebooks doesn't show that ruled pattern but a personalized one that had my name, my university's name and the number of the page.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: Interesting observation, many thanks. I am still not sure what was actually causing the problem, but I slightly revised the `share selection´ code for the next update v2.3.4 (to be released end of the week), I will appreciate your feedback whether this solved the problem or not.

[MENTION=5320960]gertek[/MENTION]: Many thanks, glad to hear that. You can do that using custom paper pattern code, I added in v2.3.2 a command LN.getMode() which takes different values whether the code is executed for the display (value 0), for a thumbnail (value 1), for an export (value 2), or for a widget (value 3), this allows to execute different code for these different cases.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gertek:
Thanks

Thank you so much! I did it and it's perfect! It's exactly what I wanted. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
I have been quiet in this thread for a long time, while keep using LN and recommend it to everybody using Galaxy Note.

With recent updates, more and more features are added, which is great! However, I also find it harder and harder to find a configuration entry. Would it be possible to add a search tool in the settings, just like what Google Chrome is doing with Chrome's settings?

If this is difficult, it would also be great to have an up-to-date wiki page (I saw a wiki page is getting setup which is mentioned in this thread) on internet which list all configurations in a tree form and we can just use search in computer browser when we cannot find the settings.

Also, it would be great to clean up some setting entries as well. Sometimes setting entries are arranged not very logically. For example, some scroll settings are in "Handling" and some are in Input.

And there are two styles for the setting entries: One is like the "text drawing tool setup", which I think is very clean and intuitive. On the other hand, there are also a lot of settings which are very "flat". For example, many many "hide ..." under "menu". If it was done the same way as the settings in "text drawing tool setup", it would be much cleaner.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] OberstGrausam:
Well, I have noticed that if I name ten notebooks with numbers from 1-10 at the beginning, number ten will show up right after 1.(like 1., 10., 2., 3., and so on) Is there a way to fix this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4949781]tririver[/MENTION]: To search in the settings is an interesting idea, but I do not think that this can be done with standard Android means. Let me think a moment about it.

There is a Wiki (http://lecturenotes.wikia.com/) that a user started. At the moment, the main information is the app's help page which I keep updated, but everyone is invited to contribute.

I try to keep settings which are simply on/off directly in the settings list, whereas I combine more complex settings into dialogs. Sometimes multiple settings affect a single aspect, nevertheless I try to sort them to what I think makes most sense. This is why scrolling gestures are in the input settings, whereas scroll bars are in the handling settings. But there is no optimal solution and I am open to suggestions.

[MENTION=5148826]OberstGrausam[/MENTION]: In alphabetic order, `Notebook 10´ is after `Notebook 1´ but before `Notebook 2´. One way out is to use `Notebook 01´, `Notebook 02´ etc., then `Notebook 10´ is after `Notebook 09´.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tririver:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] : Thanks a lot for your reply! Indeed, the search in settings functionality is something that users should ask Google to implement instead of asking app developers ^_^

Here I just typed the settings in the wiki page. Thus at least we can search it in browser now when cannot find a setting entry. Hope this is also helpful for other users.

http://lecturenotes.wikia.com/wiki/Options_inside_Settings

Considering the rapid addition of functionalities, I may not be able to maintain this page very up-to-date. Thus it is highly appreciated that other users also edit the page when they find a mismatch.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4949781]tririver[/MENTION]: Many thanks for the new page at the Wiki. I guess it could be automatically generated from app files in the future, I would need to write a tool which extracts settings headers and titles. This is a bit involved as it requires parsing XML files, as I will look into this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
Would it be possible to use tasker to tell lecture notes to open a new notebook in a specific folder, and title that notebook with the date? Is this something intents could be used for (I don't know much about intents except that they exist.)

I want to use swapps with a tasker task shortcut and auto shortcut to open a shortcut to lecture notes in multi window, then tell lecture notes to open up what i mentioned above.

Or if I'm making something harder than it needs to be...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: In principle, this can be done, I would need to add the corresponding intents to LectureNotes. In fact, when you have placed a shortcut on your launcher screen, a specific intent is issued when you click on it (to open the specific notebook). A similar idea just came up in another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1474744&page=54).

However, to add such intents requires a bit of thinking and planning, as the published intents should remain unchanged in the future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
Its an alpha sort so left to right not numeric value. Name them 001 002 003 etc.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] preciouszoe:
I'm from the other thread, but I figured that I should jump over here. I have a Note 10.1 anyway.

Would it be easier to add more default options to the Import settings, rather than adding intents? That would probably benefit a lot more of the LectureNotes users, since it could be used by everyone and it would have nothing to do with automation. (Although those of us desiring automation could take advantage of it, too.) They could also cherry-pick the defaults to set, so they could reduce their dialog clicks even if they don't have defaults for every option.

What I'm picturing: Under Settings->Import->PDF, add "Import PDF Defaults" (or something like that). Then you'd see the following ….

Default import type:

• Import PDF single page into existing notebook

• Import PDF as new pages into existing notebook

• Import PDF as new notebook

• Ask me each time (selected by default, so it works as it does now and wouldn't affect anyone who didn't want to use these settings)

Default pages to import:

• Import all pages

• Ask me each time (selected by default)

Default location:

• (Show the folder list, as currently appears when importing)

• Ask me each time (selected by default)

Default notebook name:

• PDF file name

• Timestamp

• Ask me each time (selected by default)

As for the notebook design (paper size, pattern, cover color, etc.), I would love to be able to use default settings for those in general. But they could also follow the same methods as the other PDF import settings, where you can choose to set defaults or be asked each time.

I don't know how viable that all would be, but I thought that I'd throw it out there. Thanks!

=========

I'll include the conversation from the other thread, in case it matters to anyone.

windows tablet version of LN ever?

Sorry for this slightly lateral question, I didn't see it already answered. I use LN daily on my Note 10.1. There are some win8 tablets that look like they have good digitizers, especially the Lenovo Helix, which seems to have wacom active stylus digitizer.

Is there any chance there might be a LN version that would work on a tablet like that? It is win 8 pro 64 bit, not win RT. Maybe the dev hurdles are insurmountable. But it would be great, otherwise there is Onenote on Win but a useless android version, and LN on android but no win8 version. Thanks.

Multiple Lecture Notes Opened

So, Multi Window Manager allows multiple instances of apps to be opened.

Is this going to cause problems if I kept doing it?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Would it be possible to add a feature for fast scrolling with the hover function? Like if you draw with the hover all the way down one side you get to the very end if that side. Because when I write holding the tablet in my hand I have usually high zoom, and hover all the way back in landscape takes some time. (I don't want to mess with the scroll speed either since it works like a charm when I'm using it "the regular way").
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=917858]preciouszoe[/MENTION]: Many thanks, let me think a moment about that.

[MENTION=1802783]motif1[/MENTION]: I am not familiar with Win8, but a handwriting app is mostly about input handling and UI, so I guess that porting would essentially require a complete recoding.

[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: Yes, problems are likely, LectureNotes is not strictly reentrant-safe (I guess that this applies to the vast majority of apps).

[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: How should the `normal´ and the `fast´ scrolling be distinguished?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I'm thinking something like a hover gesture to get to the very end of a page, like hover fast from bottom up on the side to get to the very end of that side (kind of like the "home" and "end" button in windows).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Canguy247:
Feature idea

I have a simple idea (hopefully simple to implement too).

Is there a way to have clipart?

Specifically, you can go to the menu and import clipart and you will have a bunch of thumbnails of small graphics. Another menu item would allow you to add a selection to clipart. This would allow us to add often used graphics to our own personal collection to be used whenever we need.

You can even have 2 tabs of clipart which are personal, and stock. The stock could include arrows, smilies, stars, and such which could be used whenever.

I think this would be awesome...AFTER the custom drawing tools of course. I can't wait for that release!

Keep up the amazing wotk Acadoid, and I hope you agree that this feature would be useful.

Sean
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5144453]Canguy247[/MENTION]: In fact, I have a kind of `recently imported images´ tool (somewhat like a built-in mini gallery) on my to-do-list, which is close to what you suggest. To allow to add the current selection to such collection is an interesting idea, I noted it down.

I am presently finalizing v2.3.4 which will be available in a few days (the main new features are cropping and adjusting translucency of imported images and of imported single PDF pages, custom pencils palettes, crop to selection, and optional color adjustment via RGB components); custom drawing tools are planned for v2.4.

Is the consideration to give a shortcut for new notebook available to general UI still in works ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3691748]aalupatti[/MENTION]: Sorry, I do not understand your question. Do you refer to some kind of `remote control´ of LectureNotes by intents as proposed by preciouszoe?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
Hey, can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn off the capacitive buttons on the note 8 while using lecture notes? They seem to get hit accidentally a lot in portrait.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
Eg: I want to add a shortcut to start a new note in lecture notes to the home screen of my launcher.

When I click shortcut icon ( screen shot) I want this option to show up.

Other places that can make use of this are to make a pop-up note using pen actions in gmd gesture application and so on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: I guess you refer to the buttons in the system bar at the bottom of the display, right? In case your device is rooted, LectureNotes allows to hide the system bar; for non-rooted devices, you can `dim´ the buttons but this does not help too much. Both options are in the app's display settings.

[MENTION=3691748]aalupatti[/MENTION]: LectureNotes allows you to place a `quick note´ shortcut of a notebook on the launcher screen. The difference to a normal shortcut of a notebook is that a new page is automatically added and the input focus moved to the new page (to create a shortcut, `quick note´ or normal, long-click on the notebook and select the corresponding item from the popup). Is it this what you suggest?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
Yes. Pretty much close.

With the current options that you mentioned, it is possible to create a short cut to a specific notebook or note and have it on the home screen of the launcher.

However it has some limitations.

For Eg: I am on a phone call and want to take a quick note. With galaxy note devices if I tap on the screen twice with the spen button pressed, a pop up note will come up. There is an app called gmd s pen gestures which lets me change this action to open any app I want ( instead of the pop up note)

What I want to do is make s pen double tap open a generic note in Lecture notes. For this to happen lecture notes should allow short cut creation in other apps.

With the current option short cuts can only set up to the home page of launcher. I want to implement the ability to have short cut to lecture notes in other apps.

In my use it would be perfect to have shortcut to lecute notes in apps like gmd gesture, gmd s pen. swipe pad and so on...

( I did explain this to you many months ago and was told that you will implement this at some point.

Sorry for the long mail and hopefully I have explained it properly)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3691748]aalupatti[/MENTION]: Many thanks for the explanations. I remember your email, I was somewhat undecided how to implement this in the most useful way. I think now that adding intents to LectureNotes that allow some kind of `remote control´ (for instance, `create a new notebook with certain parameters at a certain location and open it´) is probably the best and most general way. I am not familiar with the GMD GesturesControl app, can you set intents with so-called extras (Android terminology for intent parameters) for gestures?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] aalupatti:
Even though I did not quite understand what you asked, I think the answer is yes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: I just uploaded v2.3.4 into the app stores in which I slightly revised the `share selection´ code. Actually, this should not make any difference, but hopefully it will resolve the mysterious problem that you reported.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
After some testing:

- selecting and "copy", abort and paste from clipboard always works. (This is my workaround, because I can find the selection.png file)

- selecting with transparent background does not work.

- selecting with opaque background does not work (it did before).

Sorry no improvement.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: Thanks for the feedback. Quite weird, I have no idea what is causing this problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
For some reason, whenever I import an image, after resizing and pressing the green tick, the whole notebook turns grey and I have to close and reopen to get it to work again. Anyone else with this issue?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: Sorry to hear about the problem, which is rather strange.

With `resizing´ you refer to changing the image size using the yellow icon in the lower right corner, not image cropping (which is accessible by a long-click on the image), right?

Does the problem also occur without resizing?

When the notebook turns gray, is it the uniform gray that is displayed when you close the notebook, or do you still see the notebook content darkened?

What happens when you turn the device by 90 degrees when the notebook turned gray?

Which device are you using? Could you please check in LectureNotes `about´ page which app version you are using?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Yes, I refer to that. In fact, it happens if I resize it, if I don't, if I cancel image import, if I use Solid Explorer or Gallery... I've noticed that it's the same solid gray that covers the background when the 'choose app for image browsing' dialog pops up, so it may just be a refreshing issue.When this happens, I can't see the background, images, text or drawings I have in the pages. If I rotate the device, it effectively restores all the content. I am using a Galaxy Note 10.1 with BakedBeans 8 ROM, latest LN v2.3.4.

By the way, thanks for the cropping tip, now it just needs to be compatible with freehand cropping and will be perfect!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your feedback. When you click on the green tag, does the image get inserted before the display gets grayed?

That the display gets grayed in this way (background still visible) is not done by LectureNotes, but either by another app or by the Android system, probably the latter. It might be that your custom ROM causes the problem, have you tried the same with stock ROM?

What happens if you click on one of the menu icons, on the app's launcher icon, or on the main (`overflow´) menu icon when the display got grayed? Does that restore the previous state?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Yes, the image gets inserted. I'm updating the ROM as I've been getting other errors, as soon as it finishes I'll check if the error still persists. It should be done in just a few minutes.

EDIT: Still the same problem, here is a screenshot so you can check how it looks. Hadn't happened ¡till 2.3.4 update.
