Hi [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], Thanks for you app!

I use the Galaxy note 10.1 2014 LTE (Snapdragon Edition), and recently i've noticed a lag\over sensitivity in the Stylus input...

I've compared it to OneNote and it doesn't happen there, so i figured it's the app's fault.

What happens is that if i draw a line, LectureNotes continues the 'input line' a little bit further even after the stylus is not touching the screen. if i draw the line swiftly, the extension is longer.

I tried playing with the settings - enabling\disabling filters, pressure sensitivity, fast page rendering but with no luck.

any advise?

i would also love to hear what are your optimal setting for this tab.

Thanks!!

[MENTION=4872765]itsita[/MENTION]: Many thanks, I am glad to hear that you like the app.

Please ensure that ‘enforce GPU/hardware rendering’ is not enabled in the device's developer settings, this slows down LectureNotes a lot.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]: I've recently been using LectureNotes (a few months). I'm an old Quill user. Any advice on getting all my old stuff over to LectureNotes?

Installed DocumentScanner today, was pleased to see that it looks like LectureNotes but decided to do a refund- couldn't find a way to write on scans using spen.

Is there a way to do that without creating another notebook by import to LectureNotes?

Btw, what's the advantage of using it if I can take a scan of a document with any mobile scsn app and import the image into LectureNotes?

I use BTSync for that. If you want something open source, have a look at Syncthing. I waiting for more improvements in it before I switch over.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4803345]nbog[/MENTION]: DocumentScanner does not contain annotation features, you can use LectureNotes for that: You can easily copy pages in a DocumentScanner notebook to the clipboard and paste them into a LectureNotes notebook.

I tried to make DocumentScanner as customizable as LectureNotes is.

Hi.

I'm trying to assign function to my s-pen button (original one from galaxy note 10.1 2014) but within the settings->handling menu the "stylus buttons setup" is disabled (it is grey).

How can I do?

Tks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=6321397]goolasso[/MENTION]: You need to enable `use stylus´ button in the app's input settings, otherwise stylus button is ignored. Afterwards, you can setup the assigned function in the app's handling settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] goolasso:
:)

Perfect!

Sorry, It was quite easy.

But now the option is not grey, I selected it, but when I try to use it, eg with one click on the pen button, the default galaxy note semi-circular menu will show, not the LN configured command...

Moreover, another 2 questions.

1)

I'm trying lecturenotes now because I'd like to substitute ezpdf reader.

A very useful tool of ezpdf is the highlighter. I understood thta with lecturenotes it is necessary to define a custom pencil.

I tried to to this, but the highlighter will not be good for all the pdf, because some of them (for example slides) are bigger fonts while the highlighter will be of the dimension defined before.

In ezpdf the highlighter pen will always highlighter the full height of the font.

Is it possible to define a similar behavior in LN?

2)

I imported a pdf file that are actually landscape oriented powerpoint slides. After a couple of tentative I was able to import them with the right orientation but it created a portrait page with the landscape slide on the middle leaving a lot of blank space between each slide. will it be possible to importc (and export) the landscape slide as they are, without blank space?

Thanks a lot for your support.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=6321397]goolasso[/MENTION]: On devices that assign own functionality when you click on the display with the stylus with button pressed, you need to enable `detect stylus buttons in hover mode´ at the bottom of the stylus setup dialog. Then, you need to get close with the stylus to the display, press the stylus button, release the stylus button, and finally touch the display surface.

There is no built-in highlighter, as tastes concerning highlighters differ widely. You can make one of the custom pencils to act as a highlighter, choose your favorite color and width, an intermediate opacity, and enable `draws behind other colors´. To quickly change to the highlighter, you can show the pencil toolbox (select `Show pencil toolbox´ in the `pencil´ menu, can be moved around by click-and-hold and setup in the app's tools settings; a single click on a pencil sets the pencil and a double-click on a custom pencil brings up the custom pencil settings) or assign it to your stylus button (in case your stylus has a button). Note that if you wish to highlight in an imported PDF file, you should set `render on translucent background´ in the app's import PDF settings (or add an additional layer and highlight therein).

There is a toggle `auto-rotate´ in the app's PDF import settings. With this enabled, LectureNotes rotates the imported PDF pages if this makes it fit better on the page (meaning they can be scaled larger). Disable that toggle and no rotation will occur upon import.

Note that the aspect ratio (portrait or landscape) of the notebook is determined by the width and height you choose upon creating the notebook, not by the aspect ratio of the PDF file your import.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
Saw some discussion about syncing to multiple devices and third party tools and thought I'd chime in with a couple tips. I use Folder Sync for this because it ts extremely flexible and syncs with all the major cloud providers. It also now let's you set specific times as well as intervals.

The biggest challenge with this is how to deal with deleting items. If you don't sync deletes, deleted items keep coming back. If you do, you have some risk of data loss.

A second risk is making a change on both devices before sync happens and losing one change.

Solution:

Both issues require multiple back up folders and a bit of timing.

First step is to create a backup folder on the cloud. If you are concerned about update collisions, make one for each device. I don't think it will be an issue for me so I only have one called Lecture Notes/Backup. For this folder I make two folder pairs in Folder Sync:

1. Nightly one way backup from each device to the cloud, no delete syncing, one hour different between devices and overwrite oldest on conflicts.

2. On tablet only, one way from tablet to cloud, manual only, sync deletes. I run this on occasion when I am 100% sure my tablet has all current data that I want to keep. It is really optional to clean up old deleted stuff from the backup folder(s).

The above protects me from potential data loss for the next step. Set it up and force a sync of #1 above. If there are notes on both devices, force the sync on both.

Next step is to get both devices in sync. Create another cloud folder called Lecture Notes/Transfer. Starting with the primary device, create a folder pair with two way sync, sync deletes, with your desired time interval. I also recommend enabling Instant Sync. Force sync the first device before building the pair on the second one.

Once the second device is set up and force synced, if it had notes that were not on the first one, you probably will want to force the first one once more.

This takes a bit to set up, but gives you good backup plus synced devices.

With a little thought and planning you could also limit your syncing to certain Lecture Notes folders for smaller devices.

Good luck!

I seem to have lost the ability to paste from Clipboard and non~standard Clipboard. There are copied files there when I press to paste from clipboard but they are old. It doesn't seem to be refreshing these copied text to clipboard. I can paste from the Clipboard into other apps but Lecture Notes doesn't seem to be refreshing. Any glues? Is there a way to flush the clipboard and try again?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: Are you referring to typed text or handwritten sections?

In any case, was there any unusual (system update etc.) between the last time it worked and the first time it did not?

My standard suggestion in case of weird behavior is to try to reboot the device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
It relates to clipboard items from outside LN. I can see them if I paste a clipboard item into any other application but LN doesn't recognize new clipboard items. I cannot paste new clipboard items into LN. Tried reboot and had no luck. I will reinstall and try again.

I have same clipboard problem on note 10.1 and tab s.

Also trying to copy using clipboard from documentscanner to LN not working.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
OK so as seen above I uninstalled, cleared cache cleared dalvik, rebooted, reinstalled. Made no setup changes then created a new notebook. Copied text from an email , just one word, then opened the new notebook and tried to paste, LN says 'nothing to paste'. Opened email and a text editor and was able to paste the one word in clipboard into both apps. Now I'm really stumped. Don't know why LN won't see contents of clipboard. Can someone please confirm they can paste into LN, I'm on the latest version.

Thanks [MENTION=4434966]davp[/MENTION] I thought I was going mad. Saw your post after posting my last, so you have answered the question I asked. It seems I'm not alone with this issue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
LectureNotes doesn't use the Android clipboard, it has its own internal clipboard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
Thanks and I may be wrong but I thought you could copy and paste from clipboard or 'non standard clipboard' but neither work. They used to because I have done it in the past.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION] & davp: The `paste´ in LectureNotes' `cutter´ menu is for handwritten material. If you wish to paste typed text (this is why I asked about the type of material you wish to paste), you need to click on the `keyboard´ icon to access the text layer (or use the text drawing tool), then follow Android standard: Long-click on the cursor until a `paste´ appears and click on it, this will paste the text.

[MENTION=4487981]splotz[/MENTION]: LectureNotes does use the Android clipboard for both typed text and handwritten material, it is just that its default material is not typed text.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
Ahh, guess I only use the handwriting clipboard, hence bellowing it was internal to LectureNotes. My bad, sorry.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
I knew I wasn't going mad, just forgetful! Thanks for reminding me how to do it. LN is so feature packed I just simply forgot the basics. Thanks again and apologies for any inconvenience caused. As always your support is A1+.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] davp:
Hi acadoid, thanks for the great apps, I was trying to select scans from DocumentScanner, copy to clipboard, go to LN notebook overview and paste Pages from clipboard.

Or, simply take screenshot (which says copied to clipboard), paste as above to LN.

Edit - I see, its paste pages not images! Sorry.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4434966]davp[/MENTION]: Yes, DocumentScanner places pages on the clipboard in notebook overview and you need to paste the pages in LectureNotes in notebook overview.

To get a single page as image, share it in DocumentScanner (and select LectureNotes as recipient, if you wish).

[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: Certainly nothing to apologize for.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
Would it be possible to control the "fast drawing tool rendering" setting for each custom tool individually? More precisely, I like to have this setting off globally so that I can preview the results, but then some of the more complicated tools lag and timeout. It would be nice if one could turn this on for just these few scripts (ie. each script would use the global setting unless this override would be chosen to disable the preview for this tool.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: Sorry for late response, xda-developers.com is currently unusable via my and several ISP (some cable problem).

You can do that in the code, LN.getMode() yields 0 or 1 for drawing tools, dependent on whether drawing is final or temporary.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] arch0:
Awesome update with safezone under the input zone! One thing that i just noticed: using the stylus in input zone no longer triggers automatic movement. Not sure why that was taken away, however using hand gestures still triggers the input zone move.

I like to write comfortably in the input zone using a stylus (at larger script), but have it show up on the page as smaller writing.

The extsdcard directory is the prob...its case sensitive... it works after rename to extSdCard...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
Mine is almost perfect now, the only issue I have now is that when I try to put a dot on a small 'i' or a line through the letter 't', it doesn't register and I have to go back and add them.

It seems as though the horizontal line sensitivity needs to be adjusted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@wakarou90: You can set the app directory to a place on your external SD card in the app's storage settings. Note that any change takes effect only after the next app restart and that your notebooks will not be moved to the new location (but this can be easily achieved by a backup/restore of the notebooks board).

@Becinyus & smaw51: With the pressure filter enabled, the app ignores everything before the pressure increases above the threshold and it ignores everything after the pressure falls below the threshold for the first time. As a consequence, when you release the pressure below threshold at some point of the stroke, everything of that stroke beyond that point will be ignored, even if you increase pressure again. This is important to avoid the strange wiggles. Consider to decrease the threshold somewhat, this might help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
I dont know if it is due to my writing style but,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Becinyus: I guess you need to decrease the threshold further (or to press harder when writing).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
I am trying to contribute by giving feedback. Maybe in next update it can be fixed. I am using this in lectures and I have to write fast.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Becinyus: Which value for the pressure threshold are you using? I suggest to decrease the value by one or two percent, this might help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
Pressure threshold is 1%. Also "pressure sensitive standart pencils" mode is on. So, I think, I apply enough pressure with spen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
And this only happens with the first filter on? Have you by chance messed with the pot in the pen under the button? I played around a little with mine and was able to get everything working nicely. I also increased the size of pen mark and that helped even out everything else. Now it is working way better than S notes, and the button does things!!

Also, I had a dream last night that lecture notes had a similar feature as S notes with the formula thing, thought that would be really cool if there was a way you could rip that from them or something..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] salmonsushi:
Oh boy. Sammy - how can the same hardware that u make be so different for everyone

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Hate the formula thing in s note. Maybe my maths are too complex for it to understand ;p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
Yes, only first filter is on and I am sure that I have not messed up my pen :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
haha, yeah, it does take a bit of time to get everything in right and is a bit frustrating having to redo everything multiple times for all the symbols and whatnot to get recognized right and in the right place. But I do like the feature of being able to get stuff in a nice typed font on my tablet and then being able to put it into a report and send it to people and whatnot.

Do you know of any that are better, or do you just have really good handwriting?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
It is not about the sammy because in S-notes, my spen works like a charm. I think it is because when program starts ignoring once due to low pressure, it keeps ignoring it until the input is over. It should just get all inputs which are over the threshold value and ignore all pressures which are under the threshold. Paper does not keep ignoring once pressure is too low.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Becinyus: The reason why I implemented the pressure filter in the present way is to specifically get rid of wiggles at the end of a stoke. One could also apply the filter in the way that you describe, but I do not think that it will help, as it seems that whole letters don't get recognized. I understood that you use a very low pressure threshold of around 1%, right? I tried on my own Galaxy Note 10.1, and even with a threshold of 25%, none of my letters get lost. So, either I routinely apply pressure during writing which is more than 25 times the pressure that you apply, or something else goes wrong.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
Sometimes the entire letter, sometimes one part of one letter is missing. In other words, the program does not get some of my strokes. I do not know if my pen bounces when it hits the screen therefore pressure is lost and starts ignoring entire stroke or something else.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Becinyus: Does this problem also occur when you disable the pressure filter? There is not statement in the Android documentation concerning accuracy of the pressure value that Android sends (I guess that this depends also on the device), but I doubt whether the accuracy is better than 1/100, so that it would not help to allow lower values (e.g. 0.5% or 0.25%) for the pressure filter threshold.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] salmonsushi:
What makes you thank Sammy did not filter some of those low pressure inputs in S Note? Based on all the random sensitivity level that people have for their s-pen, Sammy most likely included some calibration / filtering processes. You will probably see it in the S-pen sdk

Your pen seems to be very insensitive and intuitively you should u have less severe wiggles. if u wanted to use a higher threshold u may need to physically adjust the potentiometer under ur spen button

If your stroke doesn't register even if you increase pressure significantly while holding, it could be something to do with how the filter is implemented. However I don't have that problem.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Samsung claims that it has 1023 levels of pressure sensitivity. However Sammy made it feel like 20 levels in S Note
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
@salmonsushi in snotes I have this ugly wiggles. Of course snotes should have some calibration and filter but it makes traces whenever my pressure level is high enough.

@acanoid: I guess it is abouy my writimg style. I think sometimes during transition between strokes, I barely disconnect spen from surface and make a new stroke again. On those times filter ignores my new stroke because s pen is not disconnected from the surface properly. When I disable the filter, all of my strokes are registered with some wiggles.

hello,

LectureNotes is a great application. I use it instead of s-note. I have a small problem is that in portrait mode (in my galaxy note 10.1), do not fit all menu icons. I have to hide some which I use it a lot order to see the last icon (the 3 dots where "export pdf" is). I wish we could see in portrait mode all of them or end an "ellipsis" with the rest. It's an idea.

[MENTION=5938460]arch0[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your feedback, I am glad to hear that you like the additional safe zone.

Auto-movement works fine on my test devices, I tested both the delay-induced as well as the position-controlled variant. Which one do you use?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] arch0:
Using a galaxy note 10.1 (original non-2014 version). For me Auto-movement works only if I use my finger to write, but using the stylus doesn't trigger it (although it had worked in previous versions).

Which leads into a suggestion! there may be others interested in using only their stylus in an input zone, so it may be worth it to allow for that an option (as opposed to graying it out if stylus is selected. ie with both enabled, non-stylus input wouldn't 'write' in the input zone (my preference), but other options for it to be used for can be to erase, highlight, or cut, etc)

Thanks again for the great app!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5938460]arch0[/MENTION]: You are right, the input zone auto-movement is not triggered when using an active stylus (I did not try an active stylus during my tests). I will fix this issue for the next update, many thanks for pointing it out to me.

Concerning a `use stylus´ option for the input zone: I am quite reluctant to touch the input handling methods in LectureNotes, as a change can have unexpected side-effects (as you just found out yourself). The stylus button works already, so that the only benefit would be that touching inside the input zone would not cause input, wouldn't it?

EDIT: It turns out that input zone auto-movement works with active stylus except when you enable the `pressure filter´ (pressure filter was coincidentally enabled when I performed the test this morning, hence auto-movement did not work). I fixed this, input zone auto-movement with active stylus will work with active pressure filter after the next update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
