2. What do you with to do with these marks?

To make the user able to identify important parts to him (like a question and it answer )

3. Are you referring to a search functionality? A search functionality already exists, select `search recordings´ in the main menu and click on the area in question.

Yes , but the search function is to link between points in the audio recorded to points in notes automatically , and as i said some times in lectures the lecturer is talk or write faster than the student can write and that make a problem when replay the audio in lecturenotes , so i suggest to give the user the ability to manually link between the audio and the written notes if the audio not synced correctly with the notes

4. Interesting idea. How should a user define the splitting points?

splitting is done manually by user .

5. LectureNotes supports one and two clicks, isn't three and more clicks more difficult/time-consuming then selecting via the pencil toolbox, for instance?

it's just one long click not three clicks , and it can be used for other functions (to cycle between predefined pencils - to cycle between predefined shapes - scrolling - cutting - etc ........)

6. Gestures for what functionality?

to change between pencils and colors - to show/hide system bar or status bar - to change brightness etc......

and there are another suggestions i want you to consider it

8- add feature to show/hide action bar by long press on the launcher icon

9- add icon to show/hide system bar
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5637234]dragon005[/MENTION]: Let me think a moment about your suggestions.

4. My question was concerning the UI.

6. What gestures to you suggest? I cannot think of, for instance, a suggestive gesture for `set custom pencil 6´.

8. The action bar is handled by Android, I am not aware that one can detect a long-click on the app's launcher icon in the action bar. When the action bar is hidden, LectureNotes displays an icon in the corner and clicking on it brings the action bar back.

9. This would only be transient, as Android 4.4 (KITKAT) allows for show and hide of the system bar via gesture.

Hi acadoid,

Each time my screen turns off while a notebook is open and then turns on again, the notebook reloads...

Is that normal behavior?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] diggedy:
Ive had this, it only seemed to happen when I had back button disabled and system bar hidden.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2534331]gerberman[/MENTION]: When the device goes to sleep and wakes up, it could be that Android sends LectureNotes a `pause´ command and a `resume´ command, respectively, in which case, LectureNotes closes and reopens the notebook, respectively.

Are you referring to notebook content view or notebook overview?

Note that there is a settings in LectureNotes to prevent the device going to sleep, in case you wish that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] diggedy:
when indexing my notebook I append the date, is there a way to change the format so it would show as 01/04/2014 rather than 2014/04/01?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1536075]diggedy[/MENTION]: When you long-click on `append time stamp´, you can choose the format.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Abudabilibre:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]: I have a question.

I use LectureNotes in order to take large notes where there are some technical words, names, etc, and I can´t afford using handwritting recognition because It takes too much time going back and correcting words, so I prefer just to handwrite notes but It would be very useful to convert to text some of the notes in order to share, or edit, or whatever.

Would be It possible/dificult to add this feature? (select handwritted text and convert to digitalized text).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5768527]Abudabilibre[/MENTION]: It depends on the level of handwriting recognition that one wishes to achieve, for instance whether dictionaries are used and if so, how many different languages (European languages, Asiatic languages, Semitic languages etc.) are supported. In any case, one would need to rely on existing commercial libraries.

Note that there are several cloud services that provide this functionality, for instance Evernote.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] wingdo:
To handle this I just put marks in the notebook at the start of something I know is very important.

Lecture Audio allows for playback from specific spots in the notebook and I find this works rather well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tablet_JF:
Another idea

When I create a new notebook, the first thing I always do, is idex page 01 with the time stamp. It would be useful to have LectureNotes automatically do this when a new notebook is created.

Or is this capability already doable somehow?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4959893]Tablet_JF[/MENTION]: LectureNotes keeps the creation date, for instance for sorting; you can access the creation date in custom paper pattern via LN.getCreationDate(). Adding the creation date as time stamp keyword on the first page is a rather special request.

I see that you've updated/upgraded the export to evernote function.

It seems that no matter what I have checked, it exports the notebook with three tags. 1.) LectureNotes. 2.) Name of notebook. 3.) Notebook board folder path of the notebook exported.

It doesn't seem to matter what settings I use for evernote export, it always sends the above three tags. have overlooked the settings that impact this?

Also, any chance that feature can be expanded on a little? As it is, the tag for a notebook name, and the tag for the file path, will end up being unique just about every time I want to export for every notebook. Instead of those two, could there be options for parsing the file path so that a tag would be either the top folder in the path, or the folder level directly above it (or options for both)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: Until recently, LectureNotes used only `LectureNotes´ as tag when exporting to Evernote, now also notebook name and notebook path are used as tags (several users suggested that). This can presently not be changed, to allow to customize the tags is on my to-do-list.

The notebook path includes the top folder in the path as well as the folder right above the notebook, doesn't it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
The notebook path does include both. Because it includes so much (it also includes the name of the notebook itself in the path), every notebook which is exported to evernote generates a unique tag in evernote. For some people, this may be useful, as they can then see exactly where the note they are looking at came from when filing it there. However, I find it to be more of a problem as this means that every single notebook I export has now generated a tag which I need to go delete. A tag in evernote should generally be a somewhat broad category or type which is used in conjunction with other tags to create effective filters for groups of notes, as opposed to a very specific or unique label for each one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
I just add those tags after exporting to Evernote
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION] & Kumabjorn: The next version v2.4.10 will allow to include or exclude standard tags such as the app name, the notebook name, the notebook path, the notebook path and name, as well as custom tags.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION] & Kumabjorn: Just to tell you that I uploaded v2.4.10 into the app stores which allows to include or exclude standard tags upon Evernote upload.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Are there any plans on optimizing the custom tools performance? they are a little slow (for example when drawing with grid dependant lines)

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: The custom drawing tools are as fast as the JavaScript engine on your device. Custom paper pattern are drawn only once and then buffered, this is however not possible for custom drawing tools, in particular for those involving grids.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
So my phone e updated to KitKat and broke Lecturenotes write access to the folder on the SD card. My understanding is now the app needs to create its own folder on external cards that the app "owns". I may move everything to internal before the tablet updates. But is Lecturenotes updated to be able to work with the new Storage Access Framework? What procedure if so to create its owned folder and move notes?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4347665]starbuckk[/MENTION]: Yes, Google revised access to external SD card in Android KITKAT (cf. http://beranger.org/2014/01/30/how-kitkat-4-4-killed-android-and-google-keeps-screwing-things/).

In principle, you can do that yourself: Create a path Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotes/files on the external SD card and set it as LectureNotes' app directory. I did not try this myself (I do not have an external SD card at hand for testing), one user reported it to me.

However, PDF import seems not to work, as PDFView seems not allowed to write in LectureNotes' app directory if it is on the external SD card (this is in strong difference to the internal SD card).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] Thanks for the reply. I'm not an android developer but if I am reading the SAF framework properly, in effect LectureNotes can be coded as a document provider where it can effectively act as a gatekeeper for the protected folder. So PDFVIEW would not write to the system directly but SAF should allow it to connect via LectureNotes and LN would then do the actual writing.

Again, I may be all wet here not being an actual developer. Perhaps one of the other developers can chime in here and tell me if I am misreading:

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
Sadly creating the folder did not work. Will have to just be sel4ctive about what notes sync to phone so it can be internal.

Curse Google for screwing this up.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]

My Galaxy Note 10.1 was updated to KitKat and similarly to the previous poster, I can no longer write my files to the external sd card. If I switch the app directory setup from the sd card to the default location in LectureNotes' settings so that I can continue saving my work, then I can no longer access my notebooks that are stored on the sd card. I will admit I am not a developer, and I am a bit of a novice when it comes to android, so I am hoping that you can help with this issue. I tried the work around that you posted in the message before this one, but when I try to create a folder with the path that you posted, the system states that I cannot create files with the special characters "/" or ".", so I am not sure how to create a file path on the sd card that the app directory setup can recognize. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
[MENTION=5562877]bbjr[/MENTION] I copied the entire Lecture notes folder into the internal card then changed the default and moved on. Note: Don't delete the one from the card until getting back to Lecture notes and changing the location setting. Lecture notes will crash if the folder isn't there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] el_manino:
Also following the trend, I'm having the same issues after Google screwed it up.

I copied all my files in the LectureNotes save location on my SD card to the internal storage (and made a folder in the same place LectureNotes is set up to save to by default), and changed the storage location in the app to the default, but am now unsure of how to access them as the files/folders I see in the LectureNotes browser are linked to the SD card. If I reinstall the app, is there an option to use the existing file directory?

IMMEDIATE EDIT: never mind, I restarted my Note 10.1 after doing these (not reinstalling) and can now access the files within LectureNotes and have full use again. Silly Google. As a side note, I only bought the 16GB tablet cause it was cheaper to buy larger SD cards. I sure am unhappy with Google for making me regret that decision. Also thanks starbuckk.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4347665]starbuckk[/MENTION]: The storage access framework could be an option, even though this actually aims at something different.

[MENTION=4347665]starbuckk[/MENTION], bbjr & el_manino: I plan to let LectureNotes and PDFView communicate via AShMem in the future, which will remove file handling altogether. This was actually rather for mid-term future, but I will give this a higher priority.

[MENTION=5562877]bbjr[/MENTION]: You need to create folder by folder, first `Android´ in the root of the external SD card, then `data´ inside `Android´, then `com.acadoid.lecturenotes´ inside `data´, then `files´ inside `com.acadoid.lecturenotes´. That you cannot create folders with names containing a `.´ is weird, that should not be a problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
That is just what I was looking for.

One or two quick questions though, all about the "custom" tag option in evernote (EN) export setup.

Will everything on that line be sent as one tag to EN?

Or, is there a way to seperate it so that multiple tags can be sent from that line by using a separator (such as a comma, semi colin, press enter to start a new line, etc)?

This app was great to begin with, but the fact that you're here not only with quick support, but also taking feedback and suggestions has made it amazing.

I've gotten a lot more out of this app than I ever expected, and without a doubt more than I paid for.

Is there a way to donate??? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would drop in a few extra dollars if there was a quick way to do that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: LectureNotes will split what you enter at commas, so that `first,second,third´ will yield three tags, `first`, `second´, and `third´; note that spaces before or after the comma will become part of the tag.

Many thanks for your kind offer, but I cannot accept donations for numerous reasons (tax authority etc.), I need to issue an invoice for money that I receive, for instance for service or similar things. Please fell invited to purchase one of my other apps or one of my live wallpapers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] bbjr:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] I understand the concept now. I actually already have that path (Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotes/files) on my external SD card, but when I try to copy my current external SD card folder that contains all my lecturenote files to that path I am receiving an error after I paste. It is probably on my end and I am going to investigate it further. In the meantime I followed the suggesting by [MENTION=4347665]starbuckk[/MENTION] and copy/pasted the current external SD card folder to the default filepath and I atleast have use of all my notes. So this should be good as a stop gap; hopefully, some sort of workaround can be done in the future to utilize the external SD card. Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5562877]bbjr[/MENTION]: How do you try to copy the data? I guess the lost ability to write to the external SD card applies also for file manager apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gnoteuser2013:
Hello, I'm quite concerned about this external sd card issue, I don't have kitkat yet but would like to have it when its available for the Samsung note 10.1 wifi. But all my notes are saved to external sd and I doubt the internal sd has enough space to handle it.

If I do get kitkat on my tablet I would root it, would that automatically solve any potential read/write problem?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5184200]gnoteuser2013[/MENTION]: You can fix the problem on rooted devices and give apps access to the external SD card as in older Android versions. There are numerous instructions around how to do that.

Is there a way to draw straight dotted lines and have it as an option in the tool box?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1536075]diggedy[/MENTION]: One of the custom drawing tool examples is a dotted line. You can access the custom drawing tools like the standard drawing tools either via the pencil toolbox or via the drawing tools menu. The dotted line example is hidden by default and needs to be shown in the custom drawing tools overview.

Hi acadoid... i got an idea for a feature i think would be useful

i use lecturenotes as a student and i open a new notebook for each lecture or tutorial i go to.

now, each of these notebooks is stored in a lecturenotes folder for the subject of the notebook.

each weekend i export all of the new notebooks i wrote down during the week to pdf and merge them to all previous notebooks...

i think it would be really helpful if there was an option to see a list of your notebooks ordered by date (and i mean all of your notebooks from all of your folders in one list) so that you can export directly from that list instead of entering each folder and exporting in each one of them...

what do you think?

thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
Still the best writing app :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2534331]gerberman[/MENTION]: You can get the notebooks in a folder sorted by date, there are options for that in the notebooks board appearance setup in the app's display settings. To display all notebooks in a sorted list, independent of there location in the folder tree, is an interesting idea. However, note that there is a `export notebooks board to PDF´ function, which you can constrain to `modified notebooks only´, which should somewhat automatize what you wish to achieve: Only notebooks that have been modified since their last export to PDF or notebooks for which there has not been an export to PDF yet (i.e., new notebooks) will get exported to PDF.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
Hi Acadoid,

Can there be an option made to remove the old useless pdf files that are made and stored in the respective notebook folder? I have a lot of pdfs that just sit there wasting up my memory even though it was only made to share to dropbox or something of the sort. It's basically useless after and when I need to share it again to dropbox or whatever it makes another one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: LectureNotes overwrites PDF files with every new export yielding at maximum one PDF file per notebook, distinct PDF files are only created if you enable the time stamp (or the page stamp) option in the app's export settings. I understand your suggestion such to remove these single PDF file per notebook, right?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]: I've been using LectureNotes on a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 for the last 10 days and everything works great, except custom drawing tools seem a bit slugish. I know the reason lies with the Android javascript engine and not with LectureNotes, but I was wondering if there are any settings I should turn on or off to speed it up as much as possible.

I've already tried the fast rendering in the tools menu and turning it on removes the lag in drawing the dashed rectangle that shows the area where the tool will be applied. Still, the drawing times out a lot even with simpler tools like line with snap-to-grid. The Koch snowflake only works up to level 4, at level 5 it times out (it worked on Note 10.1, that's why I left it in the script).

This happens even if I use notebooks imported from 10.1 which have a lower resolution (1280x1811) compared to new notebooks (1600x2264 as suggested by the app).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: I guess the only option would be to include a JavaScript engine into LectureNotes which allows to pre-compile the JavaScript code into a kind of binary (including just a normal JavaScript engine would not help, as performance would probably not be better).

Other than that, only enabling `fast standard drawing tools rendering´ helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tintinnuntius:
Is this something you plan on adding in future updates? I'm not sure how complicated it is, but I'm guessing fast JavaScript engines don't grow on trees.

Also, how would that help? If the tools were only compiled once and then stored somewhere, then the speed of the engine would not be an issue, so it seems to me that you're suggesting each tool would still be compiled every time it is run. How would that be different then?

Would it be possible to increase the timeout time? I know it makes sense to have very short timeout times for paper patterns, but for certain tools maybe people would be willing to wait a bit longer to get a proper rendering. It would be cool if this would be something that could be set for each tool separately, like another parameter. Even just a boolean choice for long/short timeout time would be helpful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4226212]Tintinnuntius[/MENTION]: No, there are no plans for adding a JavaScript engine (or a JavaScript compiler) to LectureNotes.

JavaScript code is usually interpreted during run-time, which is in different to, let's say, the C programming language which gets compiled into binary code. Compiling the JavaScript script into a binary code (or even just pseudo-binary code) would drastically speed up execution. However, a JavaScript compiler is not something that you can code on a rainy afternoon...

The maximum execution time could be increased, but the current limit is already quite liberal.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
Yes, maybe have those files stored in a temporary folder instead of the respective notebook folder and then have an option to clean that folder that stores all the pdfs that were made when the share option is used? I have to use a file manager to go and delete each one manually otherwise!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: You can set a PDF directory in the app's storage settings, then all PDF files go there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gerberman:
Hi Acadoid,

any chance of adding the option to have additional custom pencils?

and perhaps the option to make the pencil toolbox 4 lines instead of 3?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] slamorte:
I always use the app on my tablet in portrait orientation. I would LOVE the option of having the pencil toolbar spaced out in one line across the top of the screen instead of multiple lines. That would make quick changes very convenient while not taking up screen/writing space.

Thanks for all your work and responsiveness!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2534331]gerberman[/MENTION]: More than 18 custom pencils? Well, in principle yes, but isn't that a bit too much? Do you need more than 18 custom pencils simultaneously? Note that LectureNotes allows to save and to load custom pencil palettes.

[MENTION=757579]slamorte[/MENTION]: Interesting idea, I anyway am considering more option concerning the pencil toolbox beyond the current horizontal and vertical arrangement.
