Hi [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]! Let me say, I've been LOVING the custom drawing tools, especially the horizontal lines. My notes are much neater!

I wanted to ask you if it would be possible to allow to assign a custom drawing tool to the stylus button, so I can quickly change from free-hand writing to horizontal-only highlighting. It would also help if the change was permanent, i.e. the tool only changes if I press the button again instead of after 1 use. Alternatively, you could make it possible to assign a specific drawing to go a specific pen, i.e. the highlighter always writes in a horizontal line but the black pen weeks in free-hand as usual (or the red pen always draws an arrow, the green a square, etc). I don't know which one is easier or makes more sense from a development standpoint.

Thanks for constantly improving my student life!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: To allow to assign drawing tools to the stylus button is on my agenda.

You can set the color and other properties in the custom drawing tool. When you wish to have horizontal lines, create your own custom drawing tool by cloning the `horizontal line´ and add LN.setColor() and LN.setStrokeWidth() commands before the line is drawn.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Custom drawing tools should definitely be included in the tools panel. I know this is difficult and surely will be included in furure releases. just wanted to state it here :o
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: Custom drawing tools can be included into the pencil toolbox, see the pencil toolbox setup in the app's tools settings.

Insert page ?

Hi can you tell me a way how to insert a page in between two pages.

And how to paste text ?:(

Any forum you might suggest
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4723197]docfarazkhan[/MENTION]: You can insert pages before and after the current page using the items in the `hand´ menu.

You can paste text into the text layer or into a text drawing tool selection. To access the text layer, click on the `keyboard´ icon; the text drawing tool can be accessed either via 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) or via the drawing tools menu (you need to enable this menu in the app's menu settings). In both cases, cut, copy and paste text works in Android standard manners: Long-click until the cut, copy, and paste context menu appears, then paste.

I just noticed I cannot rearrange pages in the notebook overview area. I can select them and carry them around but letting them go does not push it to the new position. Why is that?

Edit: seems like turning off force gpu fixed it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: When you drag pages in notebook overview and LectureNotes detects a possible new location, it highlights the page before and after the insertion point; if you release in that moment, the page should move.

There should be no relation to `enforce GPU rendering´, this was probably just a coincidence.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
I thought that as well after thinking about it. It could have been an xposed module as well with the multiwindows I have installed. I removed it since and I have had no problems. Acadoid, I purchased LectureNotes through the Amazon App store and I was wondering how long does it take for updates to show up on there as I notice the Google Play updates come first.

Also I wanted to mention that turning of Force GPU rendering made the app SIGNIFICANTLY smoother. I was shocked at how much smoother it was with it off.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: Amazon manually tests all apps prior to release, including all updates; this usually takes a day or so.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cocax:
Ok, thanks! Are there commands for alpha and straight edges?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4262679]Cocax[/MENTION]: Yes, see the app's help page for a list of all available commands.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] StingHP:
Acadoid,

Thank you very much for the updates for this wonderful program. After using this program for classes at university, I do have one question. I know we can use volume keys for scrolling. Would it be possible to use them in a 1-click manner? I.e. one click to go to the next page.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5047347]StingHP[/MENTION]: Yes, you can adjust the step size in the app's handling settings, including page-wise.

find in text layer

Hi. I was wondering if anyone can help me. The "find in text layer" in settings aren't working at all. Is there something I can do to make it work. It would make my life so much easier. Thankss
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5693836]pharmafit[/MENTION]: Sorry, I do not understand your question, there is no `find in text layer´ in the app's settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pharmafit:
Find in text layer

When you are in a notebook with an uploaded PDF, and click the menu button, there is an option of "find in text layer" which allows you to search for a word that is in the pdf. Unfortunately its not working for me on my galaxy note 10.1 2014.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5693836]pharmafit[/MENTION]: This menu item is to search in the text layer, not in an imported PDF file. LectureNotes cannot directly handle PDF, this is why it needs PDFView to convert the PDF file into its own format. The result after import cannot be searched for text.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
You're misunderstanding what the "text layer" is, it's a layer you add to the notebook in LectureNotes that will allow digital text input through the keyboard, that text can be searched and tagged.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
I don't know what happened, but I ended up with an empty recording.. and so I lost out on a recording I needed to listen to today. The weird thing is I have the splitting 25 minute on, and the 2nd half of it works PERFECT. The first half.. is blank. It goes to 25 minutes and even has the same file size.. but has no audio at all.. this is just great.. Does anyone know what I can do to recover it? I checked and today's recordings were fine and every other class except that first half. The audio file has the same file size range as others, time frame, etc. It just has no audio at all..

Here the audio file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/usilgu8rz3x4zuz/audio8.3gp

This is pretty infuriating to deal with at the moment. I've tried to replicate it by pressing the home button or going to settings and yet it still keeps recording. I thought it must have been something I've done but I have not been able to replicate it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
I was reading something in a book, copied it and wanted to paste it in LN to add source reference and some thoughts on where to find some more material. Well, color me red, when pasting I got some long ago text I pasted into the same textbook. I checked to see that it was possible so I pasted it into Amazing Notes and that worked fine. Does LectureNotes only work with a clipboard inside the app?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: I am sorry to hear about the problem. The recording itself looks fine (file structure etc.), it is just quiet. Are you sure that the microphone was not covered?

[MENTION=4215264]Kumabjorn[/MENTION]: Are you referring to typed text or a selected area that is cut/copy/paste as image? Concerning the former, cut/copy/paste should work without problem; concerning the latter, LectureNotes supports the Android standard, but some apps use a proprietary clipboard mechanism (notably Samsung apps), you can access this material using the `paste from non-standard clipboard´ in the cutter menu.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
There is no audio at all (unless you are able to hear any?) and there is no way it was covered as the 2nd half the lecture (another 20-25 minutes) sounds perfectly fine the second it starts. LectureNotes+LectureRecordings has been the perfect tool but this mishap kinda worries me that it might happen again on an even more important class lecture. :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
It was ordinary text, from a book, being read in Moon+ Pro.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: I am very sorry for the lost audio, I do not have any explanation why the audio is muted, I have not heard of anything similar before.

Did you use the internal microphone or an external one?

[MENTION=4215264]Kumabjorn[/MENTION]: When you copied the text, was there the standard Android text cut/copy/paste context menu present?

I am not using the Moon reader, but I just double-checked with other apps (browsers etc.), I can copy text from LectureNotes to other apps and from other apps to LectureNotes without problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
It was the internal one. The oddest thing is that when it starts the 2nd half of the lecture (25 min mark) it records perfectly.

Import pdf to lecture note

Hi

I am not able to import pdf file to lecture notes :confused:

Option of import pdf to notebook is not being displayed

i am using galaxy note 10.1

looking forward to your response

thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4723197]docfarazkhan[/MENTION]: LectureNotes cannot directly handle PDF, it needs a free helper app PDFView (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.pdfview or http://www.amazon.com/Acadoid-Developer-PDFView/dp/B00CPR4L6K/) to convert the PDF file to its own format. Restart LectureNotes after installation, then there will be additional menu entries and the PDF import settings will be accessible.

To select a PDF file, you will also need to install a file manager app for file selection if you do not have one (note that many simple file manager apps that come with devices, usually called `My files´ or similar, do not register with the Android system as `file selector´ and cannot be used for file selection). There are numerous file manager apps available in Google Play and other app stores, in Google Play see for instance https://play.google.com/store/search?q=file+manager. I personally use the one from Rhythm Software, but this is mainly a matter of taste.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] docfarazkhan:
thanks for the prompt reply

(you might add pdfview app installation in help section )

It takes too much time to import pdf file and the moment you open other apps importing is cancelled.

Does my Note 10.1 has problem ?..Why doesnt it run in back ground ?

(i had this 990 pages file and its like an 30 min + importing time and its not even finished..) :(

and now its reading pages......:(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4723197]docfarazkhan[/MENTION]: PDFView (and that it is required to import PDF into LectureNotes) is mentioned numerous times on the app's help page.

LectureNotes is not a PDF annotation app, it is a handwriting app that, as a convenience, allows to import PDF files via a helper app. Even though it is feasible, this functionality is not intended to import a PDF file of 950 pages. Doing that will place you on one of the top ten ranks of the world-wide list of `largest PDF file ever imported into LectureNotes´.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] docfarazkhan:
its done

imported and read

took quite a long time..:o
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
I think there is a bug in the shift input setup feature. I've noticed that it happens when the note 10.1 is in autorotate mode and you turn it around so that what is normally the bottom (the part with the power plug port) is on top. I'll have the shifted input setup perfectly when it is upside down like this. Then when I rotate it back to right side up (power port down), the shift input appears to be off. If I readjust it again when right side up, it's fine. But once again as soon as you flip it over so it's upside down again, the shift input setup goes from perfect to off again.

Essentially there seems to be an issue whenever you rotate the device to right side up landscape or upside down landscape to setup a shift input. It's fine either upside down or right side up but not both. As soon as you rotate it, the settings are no longer ideal.

I'm not sure my explanation makes sense. It's hard to describe what's happening.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: When you hold your device in a certain orientation and it has, let's say, an offset to the left, you need to adjust LectureNotes compensation to the right; when you now turn the device by 180 degrees, the offset will be to the right, and you need to adjust LectureNotes compensation to the left.

LectureNotes distinguishes landscape and portrait orientation, but it applies the same offset to both landscape and both portrait orientation. What you suggest requires to distinguish all four possibilities automatically.

In fact LectureNotes allows for two pairs and to toggle manually between them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Frexxia:
I really like the new drawing tools, but I have a question. Is there a plan to unify them in some way? There are several of the custom drawing tool examples that do very similar things, but are listed separately. It becomes "unwieldy" to have many of them enabled.

In general I think that LectureNotes has become so customizable and feature rich that it's starting to get a bit "chaotic". I am not sure how this could be remedied, though...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
I see, I just thought it was able to distinguish and reverse the changes when you had it upside down in either portrait or landscape. The 2 pairs of adjustments seemed to be 1 for portrait and another for landscape, none of them seemed to be for 180 degree changes in portrait and landscape Is that correct? (I would think 2 bars for landscape and 2 portrait would be needed in that case).

I'll just work around it by not rotating it 180 degrees. I only do that when it's charging anyways so it's not too bad of an issue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1793799]Frexxia[/MENTION]: New custom drawing tool examples get added at the end of the list; for a user that starts LectureNotes for the first time, the custom drawing tool examples are (better) ordered. I did this so that an existing order gets preserved when I add new custom drawing tool examples. You can order the custom drawing tools by drag-and-drop.

[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: The problem with the offset is the following: If an offset of let's say (17,-24) is correct in one orientation, the negative of that (-17,24) is not necessarily correct for the 180 degrees rotated orientation. The issues with the offset is usually more subtle then that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
Is it possible that a future update might include a manually set 180 degree adjustment? That way it could be configured by the user since it isn't always the exact negative value?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: In principle yes. However, I have to admit that I am a bit puzzled. I understand that users wish to use their device sometimes in portrait and sometimes in landscape orientation. But why do you wish to use the device sometimes in portrait and sometimes in inverse portrait orientation? Or sometimes in landscape and sometimes in inverse landscape orientation? What do I miss here?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
I only ever use inverse landscape mode when I am charging it since it works a little better when the power cord charging it is on top. This is because the charging cord is a bit short compared to other devices that I have. However the main reason is that my wrist rests on the power plug when I am writing and I was trying to avoid that since it seems to stress it. If I use it in inverse landscape the plug is out of the way and doesn't get pressed on. The power cord also reaches better since the wire isn't "wasted" looping all the way down to the bottom making it shorter. I rarely use portrait mode at all since I prefer seeing the page at 100% zoom like the paper would appear printed. That's only possible in landscape with some scrolling. Portrait requires too extra panning.

It is an odd request and not a very necssary addition. It's probably not worth all the extra work for the tiny extra bit of functionality it provides.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
The positioning of the power cord is important for both landscape and portrait but as pointed out, when charging you need the device basically upside down to keep the power cord out of the way.

Additionally, the reverse portrait mode is related to the light sensor. Having one's arm in a position to block the light sensor causes the screen to do funny things at times. So I want the Samsung logo on the side under my arm so the light is not blocked by my arm. Right side for me, left side for a left hander.

Finally since Samsung in their infinite wisdom had the silly idea to put the stylus pocket on the bottom, with downward removal (good thinking eh?), when my device is sitting in its 360 degree rotating case, I'll often have it "upside down" so I can remove the stylus easily.

So to answer the question, the inverse rotation is all about hardware :).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION] & starbuckk: OK, the power cord and the light sensor break the symmetry, I missed that. I never use a mobile device while it is connected to a charger, this makes me feel `chained´.

I do not know how often you change the device orientation, but you can keep a second set of offsets and toggle between them in the app's input settings. I understand that this is not as convenient as auto-detecting the two landscape and the two portrait orientations, but at least you do not need to adjust the offsets each time again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] hoopi18:
I hope that you know that you can extend the power cord through plugging in an ordinary power cord instead of the little adapter in the transformator
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
I'll do that. It's a lot more convent than having to re-enter the values each time. Thanks :good:

I know I just haven't bought one yet. None of my other devices have samsung's connector which is why I don't have a variety sizes. I have sizes of just about every other cable though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] hankhankhank:
Is this possible?

Great work on this application, acadoid. Your continuous improvements and attention to the community's wishes is impressive.

I wonder if it is possible--or if others besides myself would have a use for this--to put a button in the menu that would toggle the "Hide System Bar" option on-and-off. I know I would find that incredibly useful, as it would save me so many steps when trying to open another application while in Hide System Bar mode. Thanks again for the great application (it's the reason I bought the Note 10.1--I was greedily ogling LectureNotes on my SGS3 prior to last Christmas...).

I recently obtained the Note 10.1:2014-32gb and goodness, a one page file with 2 pictures takes longer to save than on my Note 8. Suggestions?

Sent via my Note 8
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1347091]hankhankhank[/MENTION]: Well, one can certainly add an icon. I guess you have seen that there are corresponding menu items in the menu at the app icon?

[MENTION=1244270]BclingergFJ[/MENTION]: Are you using the same notebook resolution on both devices?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] BclingergFJ:
Similar, the resolution is still being worked out. I have lowered the pictures quality as a first step. Thank you for asking.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] kennyTSV:
I reported the issue a long time ago about LectureNotes running on my sammy N8010 occasionally not detecting the first stroke of a character - regardless of the amount of pressure applied. It can be really heavy pressure applied and the first stroke is not detected.

I have a feeling that it might be related to the algorithm used to distinguish between pressure applied by the side of our palm (placed on the tablet) and the tip of the S-pen. This is with NO Filters active.

I did a test by first placing the side of my palm on the page, followed by applying a moderate to heavy pressure stroke to the page. And I found that the very first stroke would not be detected (ie no pencil line goes onto the page). And yet, with the palm still placed on the tablet, a second independent stroke would be detected. This would happen very consistently.

Next, I do not place the side of the palm on the tablet, and then use the s-pen to make a stroke. Every stroke (including the first one) would get detected 100 percent of the time.

The reason for doing the side-of-palm test, is because that's how we usually write with a pencil. The side of palm (or at least a portion of the side of the palm) is always placed on the tablet - as that's the typical hand-writing position.

To fix up that issue, it's necessary to go into the settings and select 'Heuristic Palm Rejection'.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] gerberman:
Hi acadoid,

what do you think about implementing an online whiteboard feature?

what i mean is having the ability to share what you write in real time so that other people can access it online...

i don't know if it's a hard feature to implement or not but i'd like to hear your thoughts about it...

thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5600735]kennyTSV[/MENTION]: Sorry to hear about the problem. I guess that you have enabled `use stylus (hardware detection)´ on your device, haven't you? I do not observe this problem on my old Galaxy Note 10.1; when placing the palm on the display and writing, already the very first stroke gets detected and displayed. Is your device rooted? If so, are you using the stock ROM or a custom ROM?

[MENTION=2534331]gerberman[/MENTION]: That's certainly an interesting idea (and you are not the first suggesting it). To keep notebook pages synced over a network is non-trivial and requires a bit of thinking, so that this is rather something for the mid-term future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] kennyTSV:
Thanks acadoid.My device now has root access, but I had the same symptoms with default settings even when I had no root access. The issue was resolved by going into the LectureNotes settings (Input Settings) and enabling 'heuristic palm detection'. This setting is disabled by default. And when I disable heuristic palm detection again, the first-stroke issue (after initial palm press) resurfaces. So in my case, it's necessary for me to use the 'heuristic palm detection', otherwise the missing first stroke symptom becomes an inconvenience.

I have a different issue that I haven't been able to fix up yet, which is the 'sleep mode' issue when using LectureNotes. Maybe the issue is not with lecturenotes, but I notice that my N8010 just goes into sleep mode while I'm using lecturenotes. When this happens, I need to push the power button to take the device out of sleep mode. And the lecturenote screen resumes after coming out of the sleep mode.

Have you come across that kind of thing before?

Thanks again acadoid.
