[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION] & boobiestar: I just uploaded v2.3.12 into the app stores in which there is an option for image and PDF import so that the cropping-editor is automatically started for each import, thus avoiding the long-click.

[MENTION=701491]jalanjkcarp[/MENTION]: If one adds OCR to LectureNotes to be done during PDF export, one could do OCR also during writing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Nice, thanks! now I only miss the import PDF shortcut button... and the highly expected 2.4 update!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] meyece:
Thanks for your update :)

Hi, would it be possible to cut down the number of steps to take down something immediately? I find it pretty troublesome and inconvenient when I had to write something immediately and have to go through 1) open up LN 2) + button 3) create name of doc 4) create doc. Will be much simpler to allow writing to be done after step 2 and allow naming the doc after writing etc like s note!

Another awesome feature would be tab viewing but I didn't expect too much thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: Besides the custom drawing tools, there is presently only one somewhat involved feature (letting the cutter optionally operate on all layers simultaneously) competing for my attention.

[MENTION=4895481]Jasonchewy91[/MENTION]: There are so-called quick note shortcuts: `Create quick note shortcut´ in the popup menu that appears upon long-click on a notebook, then drag the LectureNotes shortcut icon to the launcher screen, the icon has a `+´ inside. Clicking on this icon first adds a new page to the notebook and second opens the notebook on the new page. So, if you create a notebook for quick notes and place such quick note icon on your launcher screen, a single click will be sufficient.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jasonchewy91:
Alright that works fine thanks! It would be good if it's a new doc though, can save in any folder after writing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4895481]Jasonchewy91[/MENTION]: If wish to remain with a single click prior to writing, one would need to preset the folder where to store the new notebooks, preset the properties of the new notebooks, and to use some kind of time stamp for the notebook name. One could do that, but isn't that, at the bottom, line quite similar to the current realization?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
Being an engineer student myself (or if you where an working engineer, but the notes similar so never mind) I find that the best way to make the notes searchable is to add some written words as topics to my notes in the text layer, like say "Bayes" if I work with statistics. That way you can search for them if you set the PDF export right.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] boobiestar:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] when pasting a pdf from notebook view using "Import PDF as new pages" I encountered that it is placed totally above the pattern (I can not see anything of my pattern). I use this function as inserting a template for one page. When I paste the same pdf in note view then the white space is under the pattern. I like the option from pasting a pdf from notebook view, but want the same processing as in note view. Is it possible?

When I delete pages in notebook view by tagging them first, the tag function remains active after deleting. Is it possible to deactivate tagging after one time using? Now I have to go into the tagging menu option and select "Untag all pages" before I can select a page for working at.

New pasting option for pdf and image works fine. Thanks.

Also your new cutter option for cutting more layers at the same time I am looking forward. I import images in layer 2 and annotate them in layer 3. It is now not possible to cut/move them together.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2091543]boobiestar[/MENTION]: 1. There is an option `render on translucent background´ for both single page and multiple pages import separately (however, this does not help if the PDF file contains an opaque background).

2. One could disable tagging after one time usage, interesting idea.

3. Thanks for your feedback.

4. This will be added soon.

Hey,

I just ran into an issue where when I tried to export a notebook pdf to share it came back with a message saying it couldn't and, "trouble ahead."

What is this and what do I need to do to fix it?

Edit: Nevermind. I think it was the characters I had in the notebook name. I changed that and it worked fine. Having the error message tell me that was the problem would have been helpful though.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: Essential all characters are allowed in file names (excluding `/´ and a few others). Furthermore, if you managed to create a notebook with such name (which involves creation of a directory with this name), it is difficult to see why a PDF file with the same name could not be created (he only exception is that the notebook is in one type of file system and the PDF export goes to another file system type). Is the problem reproducible if you use the name again? If so, which name did you use?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] boobiestar:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] thanks for helping me. I have found the reason of the difference. In notebook content when importing a (single page) pdf, LN looks at the single page settings where I had activated the translucent option already. When importing in notebook view mode of a (single page) pdf, LN looks at the multi pages settings where I hadn't activated the translucent option yet. After activating the translucent option at multi pages, importing works the way I need.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jasonchewy91:
Ia it possible to be able to crop the image after using camera to take a picture from within LN?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], It would be great if we could move a group of pages inside a notebook. For example, if I have a notebook with 100 pages and I want to move pages 80-100 in between pages 10 and pages 11. I think the best way to implement this would be to utilize the tag pages feature in Notebook Overview. In the example above, I would go to Notebook Overview, tag pages 80-100, then drag any one of the tagged pages between pages 10 and 11. LectureNotes would then insert them all as a group.

This would have a couple key advantages. One, it would be much less tedious and time consuming for the user than having to drag each page individually, and two it would save a lot processing time renaming pages. To further explain the second advantage - again referencing the example above, if I choose an arbitrary page larger than 11, 50 for example...I first drag page 80 between 10 and 11 and 50 becomes 51, then I move the next page up and 51 becomes 52, etc. Pages 11-100 would be renamed 20 times in this example. If we could move pages as a group they would only be renamed one time.

Does this make sense?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4895481]Jasonchewy91[/MENTION]: Yes, long-click on the image prior to final insertion to start the crop-editor. Note that there is an option in the app's import settings so that the crop-editor gets automatically started for each import.

[MENTION=4325794]JamMasterClay[/MENTION]: Dragging tagged pages is already on my to-do-list. It is a bit complicated, for instance you might tag non-consecutive pages (e.g., 1, 11, 21, and 31) and move them at a place that it in between (e.g., between 15 and 16), then renumbering (renaming) has to be done in a specific order to avoid overwriting files.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mi7chy:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] Does the native My File file manager on Note 2 and Note 3 not qualify as file managers for PDF import?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1304214]mi7chy[/MENTION]: Whether or not a certain app shows up as ‘file selector’ depends on what the respective authors state in the app's manifest. Most of the simple file manager apps do not offer file selection service.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
I love this app for taking notes, however I have found a very annoying bug that has made my note taking a bit difficult at times. I don't know if this occurred in previous versions, but I usually scroll the page by the enabled setting of the stylus button hover. This works good when it works, however it seems the app turns of stylus tracking as the hover does not work anymore. I first attributed this to my CyanogenMod Rom on my Note 10.1 however I enabled the stylus icon when hovering and the built in mouse hover works PERFECTLY everytime. I enabled the LectureNotes one and I was able to see that it was the app that was at fault. At times, the app does not even notice I am hovering above the screen until I regain focus on it by either writing on the screen or tapping one of the buttons on the screen.

Is there any way to fix this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
Loving this, just wondered if it were possible to add an alarm or reminder for notebooks that shows in the notification bar. I can think of numerous uses for such a mod.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] meyece:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] crop tool is usefull but sometimes the part that we need to crop is not rectangle/square or is on really tight place (cropping the part is not possible without selecting other stuffs). Can you add a flexible crop tool ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] big_w:
Just a quick suggestion could we have centre text as a formatting option for text input. I just created a header and needed to centre it across page, could not see that as an option. Lots of other options underline etc. Sorry if I missed this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] meyece:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] sorry, i didn't see crop tool types. There is free hand tool already :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] big_w:
Just downloaded new version and all shortcuts rest, I did follow instructions from last updated to create new shortcuts.

Also another features request, can we rename the layers, this would make life easier for sure.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: LectureNotes depends on hovering events sent to it from Android, it cannot detect the stylus on its own. If LectureNotes does not respond, it means that it does not receive hovering events.

[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: Interesting idea.

[MENTION=5345164]big_w[/MENTION]: There is no center or right align at the moment. I agree that text formatting is presently not particularly advanced, I plan to change that in the future.

Glad to hear that the shortcuts did not get reset upon update.

To allow to name layers is on my to-do-list.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] big_w:
Thanks for quick reply, but think you miss read my post, they all reset back to standard shortcuts :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5345164]big_w[/MENTION]: Oh, I am very sorry to hear that.

Your post was `and all shortcuts rest´, which I understood such that the shortcuts remained OK, but probably an `e´ is missing in `rest´.

In any case, I am running out of ideas concerning the shortcuts. The present two-step procedure strictly follows the recipe stated in the Android documentation. If they do not survive an app update, one probably has to dismiss shortcuts and construct a replacement using 1x1 widgets.

EDIT:

One question: Is your device rooted?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] big_w:
Sorry for the typo, not rooted at all.

If you need any more information on this, just ask. It's not a major problem, but more of a pain to be honest.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
The thing is, the OS is reporting THEIR hover ALL the time but LectureNotes will only show the hover sometimes (when it works it shows).

Guys, what are your tweaks, or filter option settings in LectureNotes? Im a fast writer, and would like to get the maximum recognition speed out of this app. I get some lag when writing round letters without spacing, happy to ditch eye candy or pressure sensitivity in favor of speed.

Great app Acadoid, I've been a firm evangelizer for your app as the best stylus app on Android.

Quick question:

I have a galaxy note 10.1 2014 and it lags significantly when I have another window open using samsung's multitasking mode. This didn't happen on last year's note so I figure it's something weird with Samsung's implementation of multi-window mode on this new tablet. S-note works fine in multitasking mode though so I've been forced to use it for a while in order to achieve my old workflow. My 2nd window is either Ezpdf reader and a large PDF or the built-in browser.

Would greatly appreciate it if you could figure out what's going possibly and fix it. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5017807]niveaux[/MENTION]: I personally use on the pressure filter with a threshold of 5% on my Note 10.1.

[MENTION=4623479]Diogenes5[/MENTION]: I have received several reports concerning slow response on the new 2014 edition of the Note 10.1, there is even a thread devoted to the problem (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506003). I am presently waiting for my own 2014 edition of the Note 10.1 to arrive, so I asked a few users whom I know to use the new Note 10.1 whether they observe the same problem, and the vast majority does not. Also in the aforementioned thread, several users report no lag, and some users see lag only in multi-window mode as you do. I use a Nexus 10 as test device, which has the same display resolution as the new Note 10.1 but is supposed to be slower according to bechmarks, and I do not observe lag on this device. I will investigate this problem as soon as get a new Note 10.1 into my hands.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] niveaux:
Thanks acadoid, that does speed up the recognition while writing. Are there any other tweaks you could recommend?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5017807]niveaux[/MENTION]: Well, you could enable `use fast page rendering´ in the app's display settings, then LectureNotes does not apply an anti-aliasing filter when rendering pages that require a scaling (meaning that a notebook pixel does not correspond to a display pixel); you could also enable `use fast temporary rendering´ in the app's display settings, then LectureNotes does not apply an anti-aliasing filter for the temporary rendering process (meaning the process while your stylus is still on the display).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
Today, for the first time, I experimented the use of Lecture Notes in a classroom (I'm a math teacher).

The Note 10.1 was wirelessly connected with a projector (with the All Share Cast Dongle) and I had prepared in advance my lesson notes in a LN's notebook.

All was ok, but I recognize that there is a feature (I think rather simple to implement) that seems missing and that could be very useful in this contest.

The problem is this: I have my notes prepared in advance and this is the main content of the lesson. I can also send the notebook file (converted to pdf) to my students.

But during the lesson, sometimes there is the necessity to open a blank sheet to jot down some more examples about the arguments presented in the main file or to answer to some question raised by the students.

I know I can use a second layer for this, but I find that switching from the main layer to a secondary one (hiding the first one) requires more passages:

push the layer button

set "Work on layer 2"

push layer button

un-check "Display layer 1".

That can be even worse if I don't remember which number is the main and the secondary layer.

During my lesson I ended up with using SNote as secondary note taking app (for extemporary examples) as it is more simple switching form an app to another than from layer1 (with layer2 hidden) to layer2 (with layer1 hidden) on LN.

The problem is that after switching form LN to another app and back to LN all layers become visible and I have once again to hide the other layer.

(I didn't think about using the multiwindow feature of the GN 10.1 that should avoid this problem...).

So my request is about having a one button swicher (or toggle) between one layer (layer Y) and the other ones (X), that should, in a single hit. set the "Work on layer Y", "Display layer Y", and "hide all other layers"). To restore the main layer it should set (second hit) "Work on layer X", "Display layer X" and "hide layer Y".

That should be simple in case of two layers (I think the most frequent case) but will probably need some design and planning in case there are more than 2 layers.

Does it make sense? Is there some other option that I'm missing?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
More fool me!

I think that the option "Exchange layers" addresses my issue.

Is it possible to make it a menu button in the icon menu bar (saving one tap)?

Anyway an alternative management of layers (active layers and their visibility, maybe through tabs) could be something to consider as a future enhancement.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4573586]sphere314[/MENTION]: I am not entirely sure whether I understand what you wish to achieve. Do I understand it correctly that the point is to temporarily have some empty space and not to see the `normal´ content of the notebook? Somewhat like taking the a sheet of paper with the `normal´ content on one side, turn it around, make a few notes, and eventually turn it back to see the `normal´ content? Or is the point to temporarily have an empty layer `above´ the `normal´ content? Somewhat like taking the a sheet of paper with the `normal´ content, putting a transparent sheet on top, make a few notes on the transparent sheet, and eventually remove the transparent sheet?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sphere314:
The first one.

In my case I'm not interested in showing the "normal content" as a background while elaborating some other notes on a secondary sheet above it (this way the "normal" sheet viewed in the background could be distracting for the students). It's more just like jotting some notes on a "new"blank sheet (or, as you said, in the "other side" of the main sheet).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jkcarp94:
I can understand the desire of [MENTION=4573586]sphere314[/MENTION] and his request. While I do not I know if this is what he had in mind, I can completely understand the need to always have at your disposal a kind of sticky note capability that allows you to quickly jot something down but has no impact on the current notebook you are writing in. The times that this comes up are countless. You are in a meeting and someone unrelated to the subject of the meeting asks you to call them and gives you their phone number. You are in a meeting and the subject of where to meet for lunch or dinner comes up and you want to quickly jot down the name of the place. You get an idea out of nowhere that I need to commit to paper so I don't forget it. I think the examples are endless. I know that I travel now without my paper notebook and only use the note 10.1. I lost that sticky note capability when I stopped traveling with paper and it would be great to have that as a one-click pop out functionality within the app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4573586]sphere314[/MENTION] & jalanjkcarp: Some kind of `side note´ is an interesting idea.

What you can do is to insert a blank page, either after the current page (this requires a few clicks, twice on the `hand´ icon, select the menu item, restore previous mode) or at the very end via the `+´ icon (this requires only a single click, but you need to scroll back when you are done). In both cases, you can delete the inserted/appended pages afterwards.

An alternative could be to create a `side note´ notebook and open it before you open the main notebook, then it will be the top entry in the opened recently list at the app's launcher icon. In this way, you can quickly change to the `side note´ notebook via this item, and back in the same way when you are done.

What I am considering is to allow to `turn around´ notebook pages in the context of a flashcard extension, this could also be useful in this context.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Magnesus:
Maybe it was already proposed but it would be nice to be able to move inserted PDF/image to a different page. Right now I often by mistake put it on wrong page and have to cancel and do it again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
Sphere314

You mentioned you were using S Note and might try multi window. Here might be an even more streamlined approach:

Hold the stylus button down and double tap the screen. This brings up a small S-note popup in front of your existing app pretty much like a post it note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3768753]Magnesus[/MENTION]: You can pull image and PDF insertions over page boundaries; there is a bit of `resistance´ at page boundaries but just keep pulling, the insertion will follow.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] AlexGodbehere:
I'm not sure if this belongs in a separate LectureRecordings thread, but I've got a few questions about some features I can't figure out. Specifically these ones:

* allows lectures (and other audio signals) to be recorded in a synchronized fashion while taking handwritten notes using LectureNotes (requires LectureNotes to be installed)

* allows lectures (or other recorded audio signals) to be replayed in a synchronized fashion together with the handwritten notes taken using LectureNotes (requires LectureNotes to be installed)

I can't for the life of me get the text to be replayed with the audio recording. When I open 'Notebook Replay' all of the text is already there (in my case lots of circles around equations which mean nothing if I don't know when they were drawn in relation to the audio).

Can anyone let me know how to achieve this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5234285]AlexGodbehere[/MENTION]: So far, there are no separate LectureRecordings or LectureVideos threads.

With LectureRecordings, replay is synchronized in the sense that LectureNotes automatically displays the area of the notebook into which you have written in the given moment. This might sound like a disadvantage, but it is not: When reviewing lecture notes, it is usually not helpful (or even disadvantageous) to see the actual writing process, it is better to see the final result of what you wrote.

In case you wish to replay the writing process as in a video (see for instance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_H1F2kaRg as an example), you rather need LectureVideos.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
I've bene having some trouble lately. Hopefully someone here is familiar with what the cause of these problems could be.

Over the last few days Lecture Notes has abrubtly "deleted" pages in notebooks. That is, while I'm writing in a notebook, all of a sudden everything I had written on that page will dissappear, however content on other pages, or perhaps just content that has already auto saved, will still be there. I'll be writing, and then all of a sudden I'm looking at a blank page.

Now I'm getting a message saying "Cannot read page from file system. Trouble Ahead."

Any ideas about how fix this, or if something is just broken?
