squiggly line example
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] splotz:
@squiggly line, hardware or software issue

Looks like if the tip gets not quick enough to his "zero" position sometimes..

Did you try to change the tip or to see if something is bend or stuck so ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] ratindahat:
Yes, tried all hardware variations including another penabled pen. I think it is a mixture of hardware and software possibly.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
I received a couple of reports concerning strange `squiggled´ lines when using LectureNotes on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 devices. So far, only this device seems effected. It is not clear what is causing this problem, but I agree with ratindahat that it is probably a mixture of hardware and software.

I just uploaded v1.16.8 into Google Play in which there is a second input `filter´, namely to optionally discard coordinates `between´ input events sent by the Android system (which are called `historical input events´ in Android terms). In the filter input settings dialog, this is the first option, as this `filter´ is applied first, and the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker filter that is available since v1.16.3 is the second option, as this filter is applied second. Actually, these `historical´ events *should* be used, and not using them rather elaborates on the symptoms and does not solve the underlying problem, but I received some positive feedback from Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 users so that you might wish to try this new `filter´.

I will try to get a hand on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 device to investigate this further (and hopefully find a work-around concerning the stylus button, too).

Migrating from S-Note to LectureNotes

As others in this thread I prefer LectureNotes to S-Note.

However, I've discovered LectureNotes just recently and in the meantime I have created several notes in S-Note.

What is the best way to migrate all my notes from S-Note to LectureNotes?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Nefariouss:
Export as a pdf then import pdf?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] linattuale:
I tried that but then I have to go note by note.

Is there a way to export/import in bulk?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@linattuale: I do not know about the export side, but you can import all pages of a PDF file at once in LectureNotes. If you wish to do more than that, you will have to create a ZIP archive similar to the one that LectureNotes creates upon backup the notebooks board or when sharing a folder, and import this ZIP archive. This is not particularly complicated, but it requires that you convert your PDF files to a set of PNG files and ZIP them together in the right fashion, which is probably better done outside the Android world in batch-style.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Nefariouss:
How do you import all pages of a pdf? I can only ever seem to have it import one page.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] linattuale:
Great, thank you,

half of the job is now easy!

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

You have to go to "Notebook overview", where you can select "Import PDF as new pages".
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@Nefariouss: As linattuale wrote, you can do that in notebook overview, the resolution and margins can be adjusted in the app's import settings.

Messing with hardware has never bothered me, OTOH updates can be unpredictable. My tab is running great and I haven't taken any updates, yet. Not sure I'm going to.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] salmonsushi:
Wow, you haven't taken any updates? Isn't it the purpose of this thread? Why are you here?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pinocchi0:
Could you please add some more choice from the input to import ? At the moment it is only possible to import pdf from zip or dropbox. I prefer the internal memory or sd card. Is it possible ?

Is it also possible to change the form LectureNotes is importing pdf`s ? The solution of transforming pdf`s into images is not the best. EzPDF is doing it better. Maybe you could implement that way.

And some layout and visual changings would be nice, It is just for the eye. Snote is looking way better.

This is a LectureNotes thread. My LN is up to date. I'm talking about my Note. I'm rooted and happy. Messing with a stylus is easy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] psx2pal:
I will test it.

edit: LectureNotes shares only the zip file. i can't work with this zip file. Ask acadoid for the option, to share the exported pdf file. For now you must open the exported pdf file manuelly. You can find it in the folder lecturenotes and the subfolder of your book(s). That's work, i have test it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@pinocchi0: It seems that there is no file manager app installed in your device. LectureNotes relies on other apps for file selection, it issues a so-called GET_CONTENT intent and the Android system displays apps that can do that service. After installing a file manger app, it will show up in this list, and choosing it will allow you to select a PDF file from your SD card.

To handle PDF is a quite non-trivial problem, this is why LectureNotes relies on PDFView. One should never say never, but it is very unlikely that LectureNotes will handle PDF directly in the foreseeable future.

The icons etc. can certainly be improved, but to design icons is not easy and I am not an artist, and artists that can do that charge quite a lot if money.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pinocchi0:
I downloaded a file manager and it really appeared in the list. Thank you to solve the problem that easy =)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] toenail_flicker:
The new filter works great to eliminate the weird tails on letters. 8% was too much for my stylus, 5% was too little, but 6% was perfect. Thank you for this the other improvements.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] salmonsushi:
This is what I am referring to by "wait[ing] for the next update which should include an option to exclude samples below a particular pressure threshold." in LN, NOT firmware update....

Thank you for implementing it, it works as expected. At 12% on my Note, there are still some jaggy, but definitely a lot less. Along with other filters, I am getting almost perfect hand writing. Thank you once again =)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
I'm a bit confused with the 'third' filter bit. Is the screen shot below the one being referred to? Been messing around with the settings and have noticed a significant improvement but not sure if this is what the latest update is.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] salmonsushi:
It's the top one that says apply pressure filter. It ignores inputs that are below the pressure threshold, and hence less wiggles or jaggy
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
@HasC: Sorry for the confusion. The filters are ordered in the dialog according their action, the first pressure filter acts first, then the second one ignoring intermediate coordinates, and finally the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker filter. Historically, the filters have been added to LectureNotes in exactly the opposite order, the filter now at third position appeared first, the filter now at second position appeared second, and the filter now at first position appeared third. The filter that presumably helps best concerning `jagged writing´ is the first one in the list with a threshold of 5% to 15%, depending on your device and writing style, I guess do not need to enable the other two.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] HasC:
Thanks for the clarification, my writing is definitely much smoother with the first filter applied. Left it at 6%.

As a side note or more for curiosity, who is Ramer-Douglas-Peucker and why is the filter named after him?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] splotz:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer–Douglas–Peucker_algorithm ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Becinyus:
When I enable the first filter sometimes it ignores some of my letters. I guess that if it ignores a letter due to low pressure once,it keeps ignoring it no matter how much I increase the pressure, because when my spen starts making no trace, it keeps it until I lift the pen and press it again. This causes some missing letters. is there anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
Yeah I'm getting the same thing, working on finding the sweet spot to get it.

extsdcard

@acadoid

is it possible to make the apps use extsdcard?...

i use this app 100% in my class etc...already using about 1g of my space...(not half semester yet)...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
Have you looked in the settings about app location and stuff? Set it to /mnt/extSdCard/lecture
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] wakarou90:
Thanks...

The folder must use lecture as its name or what...it works now...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaw51:
No, that's just an example. I had a hard time getting mine set up right, when I started the app back up the old stuff was gone because the directories were wack. Did you find the original directory where your old stuff is?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION]: I asked this as the only reasonable explanation that comes to my mind is that another app or another service is accessing the microphone and/or Android Media Recorder on your device, and if it does that in the wrong moment, recording via LectureRecordings fails.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
MarlinFF is the target of an NSA operation, they're turning on his microphone to listen in.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
Lol meh I'd think Samsung roms would have that more than a Cyanogenmod rom.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3121787]MarlinFF[/MENTION] & Kumabjorn: I was actually rather thinking of apps for messaging, video calls, etc.

Request

Hello Acadoid,

Just a small request. When I open LectureNotes I see all my folders. When I enter a folder I see the notebooks in it (nothing strange so far I hope ;). I think it would then be a nice addition when I swipe to the left I see all the notebooks in the next folder (so go up one folder and then enter the next folder from the current), and when I swipe to the right I see all notebooks in the previous folder (so one folder up and then enter the previous folder from the current). Just for quick navigating through my folders, any chance?

Grts.

Gertjan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] MarlinFF:
I literally don't load anything else besides maybe Google Chrome on my tablet so for something to be taking priority over recording privileges is beyond me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5076672]gertgertgert[/MENTION]: Interesting idea; note that there is a text-only tree-like representation of the notebooks board which should ease handling of lots of notebooks and folders.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tablet_JF:
swipe for directional toolbar buttons

I just got an idea for the tool bar at the top of the notebooks. For pairs of tools that perform the exact inverse function of eachother (the tools I had in mind where Undo/redo & next/previous page), why not fuse the pair into one single button, that the user could press the button with the S-pen fora customizable hold-pause and after that, simply drag the pen to the left or right to choose which directional function to perform.

Also it would be awesome if you could have the option into 2, creating the upper and lefthand borders of the page (assuming that the user is right-handed). There are so many tools I could make use of. Also when I'm editing a class lecture PowerPoint PDF import, I often shuffle back in worth with primarily the "layers", cutter, & drawing tools icon. (I basically import textbook diagrams onto layer one, and slide some bullet points to the right if I think they should be sub-bulleted to a main concept, and drag sleeper at of bullet points onto a more appropriate page. I use the drawing tools to create alignment guides. If the moved bullets are misaligned, I am annoyed to the point that I can't even think of what the page says). Also, alot of times, I will miss the button I'm trying to press, and instead hit a neighboring tool icon. I have set the spacing to Max, I just use a lot of the tools. If I could split them amongst the top toolbar, &an addition side toolbar, it certainly be handy, except when you have to hold the tablet in your hand, instead of just setting the tablet down on the table.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4959893]Tablet_JF[/MENTION]: Interesting idea, but this is quite non-Android, which means in particular that the complete handling has to be done by LectureNotes. At the moment, all the handling is done by the Android SDK, LectureNotes only receives icon and menu item selection events.

I've got some a question about exporting to evernote.

What settings should I be using? I want notes to have some sort of tags on them from notebooks board structure, or even from the tags in LN, that are reflected in evernote. Can I do that from LN? I actually don't even know how to use evernote well. Can I set rules there for sorting into different evernote notebooks based on the fact that the export came from LN's, or for that file type, or anything really? Maybe I missed something simple and I'm just doing it wrong, but any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: At the moment, LectureNotes only sets the app name as Evernote tag, but this could be expanded.

I am not using Evernote myself, so that I cannot help concerning Evernote setup.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
I see things like this around, but don't know what to do with them:

http://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/android_intents.php

And:

http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/33792-using-tasker-and-intent-for-absolute-beginner/

I personally don't even know how to go about using autoshare and tasker to make any of that work on my own. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts though about how to share lecture notes pdfs with evernote and have it pull tags from the lecture notes file and populate intents for evernote though......
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: LectureNotes uses the com.evernote.action.CREATE_NEW_NOTE intent when you export to Evernote.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mmcnulty:
I ask more out of ignorance than anything else, but would it a feasible/ reasonable request to have exporting to evernote make use of more of the evernote intents? For instance, would it be possible to add an option so that when exporting, the intent for adding tags was sent, using the file structure as tags, so each note would then be tagged with each folder above it in LN?

Also, when indexing pages in LN, how can I export my indexing along with notebooks? Or, where could I tell another program to look to pull the tags itself?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5106588]mmcnulty[/MENTION]: You can enable `include keywords´ in the Evernote setup in the app's export settings.

There is no intent for adding tags, the com.evernote.action.CREATE_NEW_NOTE intent allows for a parameter TAG_NAME_LIST as so-called extra field. LectureNotes uses this parameter, but currently only includes the app name into this list. The notebook name (either including or excluding the path) can be added as additional elements in this list, I noted this down.

Roadmap

Hello Acadoid,

Lecturenotes is for long my most used app on my galaxy note, and I'm very happy with it. I'm very curious about the roadmap and planned new functionality in nearby and longterm releases. Can you please share some of your plans? Keep up the great work.

Gertjan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5076672]gertgertgert[/MENTION]: The next update v2.4.8 is scheduled for Saturday. It will bring only two minor improvements, as I am presently working on the Korean localization (Korean is the third largest user proportion after English and German, further localizations will follow in order of user proportion).

There is no detailed roadmap, I am always juggling with numerous different user suggestions and ideas simultaneously. I have a to-do-list on which I keep suggestions and ideas. Suggestions and ideas that are helpful to many users and easy to implement receive a higher priority than suggestions and ideas that are helpful only to a small fraction of users or difficult to implement. This list gets constantly reworked, it also contains email addresses of users, so that I would like to keep it private.

A thank you note for an application I rely upon for work and personal use. I use this applciation extensively on a daily basis. This is the second time I have used it to document medical situations. The first time was for a vision situation and this time to document treatment to an inuured knee. The injury: bursitis to the right knee. Keeping track of treatment with real-time notes and pictures to capture treatment has proven beneficial to myself and the physician. Morning pictures, pictures taken at the facility and later at home is an excellent way to track the condition. Having used literally all of the related applications, Lecture Notes leads the pack. You have rapidly answered personal requests for assistance and continue to support the application like few others do. In closing, thank you for so valuable an aid.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
If you some day require localization to Japanese, let me know.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4215264]Kumabjorn[/MENTION]: That's a very kind offer, but we talk about approx. 15,000 words of text (excluding the help page), I cannot ask anyone to do that on a voluntary basis.

As far as LectureNotes is concerned, the Google Play statistics tell me that English (US, UK, etc.) amounts to around 60%, German to around 16%, and Korean to around 8.5%. The next languages are Portuguese (1.8%), Italian (1.4%), Spanish (1.2%), and French (1%). This is different from the average for productivity apps, where German and Japanese amount both to around 5% and Korean amounts to 9%.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
That Japanese doesn't even make the list is surprising. It it's optimal for the Japanese since they rely on handwriting more than most.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4215264]Kumabjorn[/MENTION]: There is certainly an aspect of egg vs chicken here, maybe the Japanese user proportion would be larger if there was a Japanese localization. In any case, a localization is quite a financial investment, so I have to follow existing user proportions.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
Off course, I wasn't trying to convince you, I was just genuinely surprised. for any given app that isn't country specific there are usually twice as many Japanese users as there are Korean.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] diggedy:
sorry if this has been asked before (or if its already implements and I cant see it!) but I would like to ask if theres any chance of introducing some features?

I use a note 10.1 and also a note 3 for both my job and my student life and there's few apps out there that I can use a daily work journal other than lecture notes, however theres no continuity between my devices. Would it be possible to be able to sync notebooks between the devices?

Also, when using the cutting feature, is it possible to send the cut item to a certain page or "send to end" of the document. Its possible most people wouldn't use this, but I find when im in class if im annotating notes that have an example question in, if the lecturer goes through it and I want to copy the question and send it to the end of the document so I can then write the solution directly below the question, I have to zoom right out and drag it through the pages (sometimes 30+).

Ive probably said it before, but awesome app. I doubt my studies would have been half as organised without it!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1536075]diggedy[/MENTION]: Even though LectureNotes usage of many individual files to store notebook pages is ideal for syncing your notes, LectureNotes does not directly sync devices. But this can easily be achieved by syncing LectureNotes' app directory on each device with a cloud service (for instance using apps such as FolderSync), in this way, you automatically sync the devices. A large fraction of LectureNotes users has in fact multiple devices and does syncing in this way.

You can drag material over page boundaries, there is a bit of resistance but just keep pulling. In case there are several page boundaries to cross, it is probably easier to cancel insertion, scroll to the target page, and select `paste from clipboard´ in the `cutter´ menu. Note the `go to page´ item in the `hand´ menu which allows to jump to a distance page easily.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] diggedy:
wow, i didnt even know the paste from clipboard was there, I didnt even see the menu before. Guess I got so stuck in my ways I didnt go looking for it!

Thanks for the tips!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] dragon005:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] , hi i have some suggestions for lecturenotes ,

1- add a feature to lock notes with password

2- add a feature to mark (tag) certain times (start , end) in the audio recorded files [this will be very helpful for lectures ]

3- add a feature to point the audio recorded files to certain parts or lines in notes manually [because 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]

4- add a feature to separate the audio files to multiple smaller files (this is alternative to feature 2)

5- add more feature to styles by counting (the long press on styles button) as a button

6- add gestures to lecturenotes (may be by hovering the stylus in certain ways)

7-add a feature to import office documents (powerpoint , excel , word) into notes
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5637234]dragon005[/MENTION]: 1. It is pretty straightforward to add a dialog when starting the app or when opening a notebook and require a PIN/password to be entered. But this will give users a wrong feeling of security, as anyone with a minimal computer knowledge will still be able to access your notes indirectly. A PIN/password protection makes only sense if the notebook pages are encrypted (note that some apps provide `secure´ notebooks only `protected´ a proprietary file format without encryption, which is a very weak approach). I have encrypted notebooks on my agenda, but encryption comes with several drawbacks when done in an app (slowing down reading and writing notebook pages from SD card, etc.), there are legal issue, and so forth, so that I have to ask you for some patience. In any case, if you are concerned with your privacy, consider to encrypt the whole SD card.

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

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.

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

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?

6. Gestures for what functionality?

7. To provide a sibling to PDFView allowing for import of Word and PowerPoint files is on my agenda. This is hindered by the fact that I have not come across a good free library to handle this files.
