Status update inquiery for Evernote notebook update

Hi all,

I just wanted to know if there is any update on overwriting already exported Notebooks to Evernote. I would really love to see notes being updated instead of recreated. As another suggestion I think for PDF export there is the option to export only changed or `touched` notes. Could something similar be implemented for Evernote export?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5338399]ascho[/MENTION]: The Evernote documentation http://dev.evernote.com/documentation/local/chapters/android.php has not been changed yet. I am keeping an eye on this, as soon as Evernote publishes the access method I will add it to LectureNotes. Consider to contact Evernote on this manner.

To have an `Export notebooks board to Evernote´ or `Export folder to Evernote´ in a style similar to `Export notebooks board to PDF´ or `Export folder to PDF´ is an interesting idea. The problem is that the upload to Evernote is notebook-wise, so that the Evernote app would come up for every notebook, which might render this somewhat useless.

@Robdyx: One think that you could try is to go to the app's import settings and open the import image layer setup, select the first option (do not add layer and import into active layer), and click `OK´ (click on `OK´ even if the option was already selected). Try to import an image, does it work now? If not, try the setup again. Does it work then?

You are the master, that fixed it! Thank you so much! :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your feedback, glad to hear that the problem is solved. It is mysterious how the `work layer after import´ could get a wrong value. In any case, I added a few lines of double-checking in the code to avoid that problem in the future.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] is it possible to add paper patterns to the gallery besides the ones that are already there?

EDIT: I remembered two other suggestions :P

Could you please add the ability to choose an image as the notebook cover? Right now I use the workaround of putting the image I want to use as the background of the first page, but it makes the first page of the notebook useless. It's just that I like to use cute patterns as the covers of my notebooks and it would be awesome if there was this option besides choosing a solid color or showing the first page of the notebook :) (Snote allows this, btw)

The other suggestion is something I think would greatly improve the ease of editing text on the text layer: instead of having the options to choose font, color and size of text inside of the text input button, why not making a tool box similar to the pencil one? I think it would make it a lot easier and quicker :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: All custom paper patterns that you have in your notebooks show up in the custom paper pattern overview. In this sense, yes, you can add your own templates there.

To allow to set an image as notebook cover and a toolbox for the text layer (and the text drawing tool) are on my to-do-list.

Please excuse me if this question has been asked already:

Is there a way to "archive" notebooks and/or folders in LectureNotes? For example, the Spring semester has ended and I will be creating new notebooks and folders for the Fall semester. However, I don't want to clutter my notebooks board with older notebooks/folders that I might occasionally reference but probably will not be actively adding to any longer.

I've considered just exporting to PDF, but I think it would be nice to still have the notebook in its original format in case I do want to add something.

Is there a way to archive or export my LectureNotes notebooks/folders so that they don't take up space in my notebooks board but still allow me to import them in again in case I need to make a change?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4346221]drdoombot[/MENTION]: You can `share´ notebooks and folders, then LectureNotes places all information of the notebook or the folder (and folder and notebooks in that folder) into a single ZIP file and issues a `share´ intent for it. After placing this ZIP file to a save place, you can delete the notebook or the folder from the notebooks board. In case you need the notebook or the folder again, just select `import notebook or folder´ and select this ZIP file.

An alternative is to backup the entire notebooks board (which will also yield a ZIP file) and then to delete the notebook or the folder from the notebooks board. It is anyway advisable to backup your notebooks board regularly. Note that there is an option to time stamp the backups (so that the file name contains a time stamp) to avoid to overwrite the previous one.

Is there a way to copy a page from one notebook into another notebook without first pdf exporting and then importing?

Thanks in advance.

[MENTION=4486525]Dazo5[/MENTION]: Yes, to copy one or more pages from one notebook to another, open the source notebook in notebook overview (either directly from the notebooks board by long-clicking on the notebook and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the popup menu, or by opening the notebook normally and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the main menu), click on the tag to activate tag mode and on the pages to be copied to tag them, and select `Copy tagged pages to clipboard´ in the main menu. Close the source notebook and open the target notebook in notebook overview and select `Paste pages from clipboard´ in the main menu. To rearrange pages, click-and-drag them to the desired location.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] My finals just ended and with the intensive study I've been doing, I've found some bugs in LN.

1- I have two-fingers zooming enabled In all modes, but all scrolling is off unless I'm in hand mode. However, most of the times, a little bit after I've started working in a notebook in pencil mode, the pinch-to-zoom stops working. I cannot figure out exactly when or why, just that it is a little bit after I'm in pencil mode and after I've used pinch-to-zoom in this mode. I also confirmed it doesn't have to do with the minimal distance setting

2- again, I can't say when or why, because this one only happened a couple of times, but I was writing on a notebook and the screen went off. I had to lock and unlock the tablet to get it back on and everything was normal again. I remember another user reporting this same problem some time ago. Was it ever figured out what caused it?

And, of course, I have (yet again) a couple of feature suggestions.

3- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1nf3nH5zjs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I want to do what's in the video I linked above, but with LN. LN doesn't have a color picker of some kind, does it? Did I miss something?

4- recently I found out a cool trick in Snote: if you pinch a page with three fingers, you can delete it right there (samsung even added a cute animation of the page being scrunched up). Could you add something like that? Like, with a three-finger (or four-finger, or five-finger, or whatever) pinch, allow to delete the current page without having to go into notebook overview.

Thanks :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: 1. To be sure that I understand correctly: You have `two fingers scrolling´ disabled and `two fingers zooming´ enabled, right? Do you have `keep zoom active´ enabled or disabled? When zooming ceases to work, is the zoom level at 100%? When zooming ceases to work, is `Zoom´ still ticked in the main menu?

2. This `black screen bug´ occurs with all apps that make intensive use of the S-pen, not just with LectureNotes; disable `AirView´ in the device settings, afterwards the problem should be gone.

3. A color picker is on my agenda.

4. You can delete the current page using the corresponding item in the hand menu, no need to change to notebook overview.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
1- that's right, two fingers scrolling disabled and two fingers zooming enabled. keep zoom active is enabled too. I'm honest not sure if the zoom is on 100% when it eases to work, it might be... I'll keep an eye the next time it happens. and yes, zoom is still ticked in the menu when it ceases to work. in fact, I can still use the zoom "scroller" when the pinching ceases to work.

4- oh, duh, how could I have missed that? thanks! still, imho, a 3-finger pinch to delete a page would be pretty cool (and even easier and faster than the hand menu, although going to that menu is a lot better than the way I've been doing thus far --")

Hi,

I looked at the separate thread regarding "jagged" strokes, but I can't seem to find a suggestion that helps me.

I am finding that when I use a pressure sensitive pencil in LectureNotes, the strokes are very jagged. The non-pressure sensitive pencils don't seem to have this problem.

Also I have input pressure filter set at around 7% (after experimenting with different filter settings).

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: I played a bit with my Note 10.1 and tried to reproduce the problem with your settings, but zooming (and scrolling) continued to work. I will have an eye on this.

[MENTION=5184200]gnoteuser2013[/MENTION]: A pressure filter of around 5% (and other filters disabled) should actually solve the problem. Which value of minimal width did you set in pressure sensitive setup in the app's handling settings? Have you tried to increase this value to 25% or 40%?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gnoteuser2013:
Thank you for the tip about the minimum pressure. I tried adjusting that now and it appears to help, especially if the pencil is a thick one. But when I set the pencil width to 2.25, then I see that the min. pressure option doesn't help much with the jaggedness when I write lightly. But I am okay with sticking with the non-pressure pencils.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Mr-Kappa:
maybe i skipped the post in the one hundred and more here, but is there a way to copy elements from a notebook over to another one?

ps i already said it but this app is terrific, fantastic for my engineering course!:D

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], It seems like that every time that LN is updated on my Note 8 that any Notebook Shortcuts I've created lose their designated cover colors, and I think they also lose their titles (I think the icon title revers to Lecture Notes). Is this a known issue, and regardless, is it possible to fix?

I'm absolutely loving LectureNotes. This is the best, most versatile handwriting, notebook app I've come across. :D

Glad I could help! :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Dazo5:
Not sure if it's been addressed before, but when I import a custom image in the initial new notebook setup, annotate it, then export to pdf, I only get the annotations but not the custom image I selected as the background.

If I import the image after the notebook has been created I then am able to see the image and annotations in the exported pdf. The problem with this option is that it's more tedious as I have to figure out the dimensions of the image and then still stretch it out. Whereas, if I import a custom image on the initial setup, it sets the image as the background size.

Is there an option I'm not selecting or is this the way it is setup?

As always, great app and thanks for the help in advance.

[MENTION=4486525]Dazo5[/MENTION]: I am not entirely sure whether I understand.

If you set an image as paper pattern in the new notebook or notebook settings dialog, it will get exported to the PDF if `include paper pattern´ is enabled in the PDF export setup in the app's export settings.

If you import an image into the notebook, it will get exported to the PDF together with all other notebook content.

Many Thanks! This is what I was talking about.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] The other day I forgot to mention another possible bug. this one has been happening for quite some time now, I think since I have LN. when I make short strokes, like an accent (ie: à or é) or some parts of letters, the strokes don't get written. I have to try 3 or 4 times, usually writing quite slower, for it to appear. this happens even when I'm zoomed in a lot (and the stroke is not that small anymore). the only filter I have active is the pressure one at 5%, without the enforce lifting the stylus thing. I do think, however, that this happened even before this filter was implemented, and I had the other two activated (I'm not sure, though). it's worth to mention that this happens if I'm using either the original SPen or the one with the eraser.

do you have any thoughts on this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: What you report is difficult to understand. I guess that you have checked that it is not a matter of too low pressure (below the threshold)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pluginalong:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], I'm thinking maybe you didn't see the issue/question I raised in the following post?

Where did the settings go? I haven't used LN for awhile and got a couple updates since I last used it. Did the settings button get moved somewhere? I am using humberOS as my ROM if that could be the cause of the problem. I used AOKP before with no issues. I need to find the settings to enable the active stylus feature.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Quirinon:
I really love this app and have written a few hundred pages with it. :) I'm missing an option to add page numbers to PDF export though. I love my current page pattern while writing, but it's really ugly when printed out with low-quality printers and the page number is too light. Adjusting the pattern and pattern color every time I export a page is really inconvenient. I would love to see another PDF export option which just adds the page number in a possibly darker color to the exported PDF. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5235189]pluginalong[/MENTION]: I indeed missed the question, my apologies. This reset of shortcuts is quite mysterious. Once the shortcut has been communicated to the launcher app, it is within the launcher app's control, so updating LectureNotes should not have any effect. I do not see that on my devices (and I `update´ the app much more often when developing). According to reports that I receive, it affects only the icon and the name, but not the underlying action. The way the shortcuts are communicated are standard, and I have not found any description of shortcut reset in developer forums, so I am really puzzled.

[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: I am not sure whether I understand the question. The settings can be accessed via the `Settings´ menu items in any of the main menus.

[MENTION=5108985]Quirinon[/MENTION]: You can achieve that using a custom paper pattern. I recently added a command LN.getMode() which allows to tell normal display (value is 0) from thumbnails (value is 1), export (value is 2), and widgets (value is 3). For instance, if your paper pattern is ruled, you could use

LN.drawRuledPattern(LN.getScale(), false);
if (LN.getMode() == 2) {
width = LN.getWidth();
height = LN.getHeight();
page = LN.getPage();
LN.setColor(0,0,0);
LN.setTextSize(0.0125 * height);
LN.setTextAlign(0);
LN.drawText(page, 0.5 * width, 0.95 * height);
}

which draws a ruled pattern as before, but places the page number in black (color RGB 0,0,0) at the bottom for PDF export. The same for checkered pattern

LN.drawCheckeredPattern(LN.getScale(), false);
if (LN.getMode() == 2) {
width = LN.getWidth();
height = LN.getHeight();
page = LN.getPage();
LN.setColor(0,0,0);
LN.setTextSize(0.0125 * height);
LN.setTextAlign(0);
LN.drawText(page, 0.5 * width, 0.95 * height);
}
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
I mean I can't find the overall app settings where the controls for styluses would be. I tried looking at the menus that appear when tapping each tool in the toolbar above each page of notes. I also looked for the usual 3 line style menu/settings button that is usually in the top right corner and don't see that anywhere.

I can take a screenshot if that would help clarify.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: Access to the settings is via the main (or overflow) menu; on devices with menu button, you need to press the menu button to see it; on devices without a menu button, the main menu shows up when you click on the icon in the right upper corner.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
I'm using a note 10.1 so I have no menu button. The right corner menu shown in the play store screenshots isn't visible either. That's why I am saying I can't get to the menu.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
No, because when I try 3 or 4 times I increase the pressure. I think it's more of a problem of the stroke being too small, with too little pixels...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: Quite weird, I also use a Note 10.1 and I do see the icon of the main (or overflow) menu. Are you using the stock or a custom ROM? Do you see the icon of the main (or overflow) menu in other apps? I guess that you have tried standard measures such as to reboot your device?

[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: There is no minimal length of strokes (in fact, LectureNotes takes care there is at least a dot drawn if the curve length is zero). LectureNotes uses a two step drawing, first a quick temporary drawing and second the `real´ drawing. When the problem occurs, is there first a line which disappears when you lift the stylus, or is there nothing drawn at all?

Are you using pressure or velocity sensitive pencils? If so, have you tried whether the problem occurs also without pressure or velocity sensitivity?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
Yeah in chrome and the pdf apps I have the overflow menu is present. It's also in other apps like gmail. Basically it's in every app but this one. I'm using CM 10.1 from the android development section of this note 10.1 area.

I tried restarting the tablet and uninstalling LN and it didn't help. Maybe there's a bug with CM and this app but it's really weird that it would only be the menu missing. Gmail has the same style of menu in the top right and it works just fine.

Edit: I found the problem. Apparently in settings>system of CM, there is a "Show action Overflow" (Display the 3 dot menu button within apps) option. Checking that fixed the problem. I had no idea it was there since I've always had the 3 dots show up by default on my nexus 4 with CM. I don't know why the 3 dots are disabled by default.

hey,

the app office suite pro offers a zoom when you touch the screen and hold down your finger for 2s.

would it be possible to add that feature in this app. i find that really useful and shouldnt be a problem since you can use your finger to scroll ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3379223]layercake87[/MENTION]: Zoom in/out is already accessible via double-click; zoom in/out via long-click can be added, but I am a bit worried that a scroll gesture during which the user does not immediately start moving will be misunderstood as zoom in/out.

Is there any way to edit text which I copy from web? (size, color etc)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3645614]atomic339[/MENTION]: Cut/copy and paste text does not preserve the font properties (size, color, etc.) in Android. Once you pasted the text into the text layer (or the text drawing tool), you can select parts of it (press shift and use the cursor keys to select, as you do on a `normal´ computer) and select the desired font property in the `keyboard´ menu (or the `style´ menu in the lower left corner in case of the text drawing tool).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
I just found out that pressing the SPen button and drag on the text to select it like you can in some browsers works in LectureNotes as well! There's only one thing that bothers me. It underlines the last word I wrote which is fine, but if I don't end my sentence with a space or deselect the word before turning the text function of it remains underlined. Not a huge problem obviously, but still kind of annoying since I always forget about it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: Interesting, I did not know that one can select text using the stylus.

The underline is caused by your soft keyboard (more precisely by the keyboard's error correction), it goes away when you click to place the cursor.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
You're probably right, I'm using SwiftKey since I find it outstanding in terms of typing speed but sometimes it doesn't work too well with other apps (I've had problems with browsers as well).

This question was asked way back in April but I just discovered the need for it myself.

I use the S-pen with Eraser, which has the stylus tip on one end, an eraser on the other end and a button on the barrel. With other s-pens, I have used the stylus button to use the eraser, but now that I have a dedicated eraser button on my pen, I feel the stylus button would be better utilized to go back only a single stroke.

Is it possible to include this as an option?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4346221]drdoombot[/MENTION]: To allow `undo´ as an additional option for the stylus button is on my to-do-list.

Has there been a change in "softness" settings for custom pencils somewhat recently?

I just upgraded from I think 2.3 to 2.3.6 and found that nearly all of my custom pencils have become fuzzy or blurry. I had the softness setting at around 0.55, but this is way too much now. In fact, I'm finding that it's very difficult to fine-tune the softness I want to achieve: when I set a pencil to 0.06, it is too jagged, while at 0.07 it is too soft for my taste.

Does anyone know in which version of LN this change was made? Is it possible to roll back to the version before that one?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jeggen:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] A couple of questions.

1) I sync my entire LN data folder with Dropbox (using Dropsync, excellent solution to syncing across devices). If I want to archive everything but don't need PDFs is it okay simply to remove the folders of the notebooks I want to archive out of LN?

2) Probably a long-shot but any chance of LN having future functionality to import Word files as it does PDF files and put it on a layer to work on? Would be so much easier to markup Word docs or fill in/sign forms I get in Word. I'm assuming this would be a big addition since in these docs you have to worry about font, layout and all sorts of things but thought I would check.

Thanks for an already phenomenal app. Seriously, it makes my Note 10.1 worth having over any other device. Without LN the S-Pen would be just a toy, but LN makes it into a powerful tool unlike any other app out there.
