[MENTION=4346221]drdoombot[/MENTION]: The last version v2.3.6 changed the definition of softness somewhat, as it allows now to combine pressure- and velocity-sensitivity with non-opaque and soft pencils, which was not possible before. I had the impression that the previous and the current softness for a given softness value match more or less. I am sorry to hear that this change is causing problems to you, this was certainly not my intention.

To go back to v2.3.5 is feasible but somewhat complicated, as Android does not allow to directly install an older version over a newer one. You will need to uninstall v2.3.6 first (be careful to backup your notes before uninstalling the app!) and then install v2.3.5. If you wish to keep your settings, you will need to backup it to a file first and restore from that file afterwards.

[MENTION=4035388]jeggen[/MENTION]: 1. I am not sure whether I understand the question. If you do not wish to sync the PDF files, you can exclude them in the that you set in the DropSync app (I am not familiar with this app, but I guess it allows to exclude certain files via rules). Alternatively, set a PDF directory in LectureNotes so that exported PDF files go there.

2. To provide a kind of DOCView (and PPTView) as a sibling to PDFView is on my agenda. The problem is that this requires a good free library to render Word (and PowerPoint) files. There are several libraries, and I found one which seems quite good, but it is not entirely clear whether it is under the GNU license.

Updates, Notebook Links, Evernote?

I have been using the paid version of LectureNotes for some time on my Galaxy Note 10.1 and am loving it! Here is one issue I am having, one request for a feature, and one other question:

1. Issue - I read in the forum about one other person with a Galaxy Note having this issue - Every time LN is updated through Google Play, the shortcuts on my desktop lose their name and notebook color. At one point I was utilizing lots of shortcuts for all of my current work projects, but I got tired of recreating the shortcuts with each update. Is there anything that can be done or is this just a Samsung launcher issue?

2. Feature Request - I use LN to keep up with my current to-do list and notebooks with details for each project item. I would love to see a way to create a link to another LN notebook. For example on my list of to-do's I may have 5 ongoing projects. As I am reviewing my to-do list, if I could click a link to go to the notebook of a project, it would be a tremendous time saver. I read about your plan to add clickable links to web pages or files, please consider allowing us to create links to other LN notebooks.

3. Question - I am still hoping Evernote will change their stance on allowing LN to update a notebook that has been exported instead of adding another copy - something to do with a UUID or something. Have you heard any news on this being allowed by Evernote?

Thanks for all your hard work - by far the best money I have ever spent on the Google Play Store!

[MENTION=2032635]taylordawg[/MENTION]: 1. I occasionally receive reports of reset shortcuts. I am not sure what is the reason, and in fact shortcuts stay on my test devices, despite that I update the app a lot during testing cycles. Are you using the standard launcher or a different one?

2. Interesting idea, I noted it down. I plan to allow for some kind of bookmarks or favorites (somewhat like shortcuts within LectureNotes), maybe this suits more?

3.No, http://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/android_intents.php still does not list an intent to modify an existing notebook, I am sorry.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pluginalong:
[MENTION=2032635]taylordawg[/MENTION], I have observed this as well on my Galaxy Note 8.0. I also have a HTC Droid Incredible 2 which does not have LN on it, but I have noticed the same shortcut issue on it with another app, DejaOffice. I am using default system setups for both, so I'm wondering if this could possibly be caused by another app somehow interfering with something? Would you be willing to post a list of your installed apps (or PM me if you prefer) and I can see if I can spot any overlap between the 3 different devices (or at least between your 10.1 and my 8.0)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] taylordawg:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] 1. As I use my Note 10.1 for work, it is completely stock. Running 4.1.2 build JZO54K.N8013UEUCMD3.

2. Shortcuts to other notebooks or favorites would serve the same purpose and would probably be easier than creating links in the pages of writing. I would love that feature.

3. That sucks. The Evernote crew needs to get on board. I read lots of comments about needing integration with Evernote, just nothing will work right now.

[MENTION=5235189]pluginalong[/MENTION] I would be happy to send you a list of apps. Is there an easy way to export my list of apps as I have quite a number installed? It would be a lot of screenshots or typing if there is no good way to export a list.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pluginalong:
That's a great question! And I don't know the answer. :confused: It seems like there should be a way, or maybe an app that can do that. I can't look right this moment (for possible apps that do that), but will have a look later. And certainly let me know if you figure out a way or find a decent app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] taylordawg:
[MENTION=5235189]pluginalong[/MENTION] screenshots of my app drawer should give you a good idea of what is installed. Let me know if anything stands out to you. Thanks.

[MENTION=2032635]taylordawg[/MENTION], Thanks for posting those! Here's where I see some overlap (excluding factory installed apps in most cases):

Adobe Reader (Inc2)

Amazon Kindle (Inc2)

*Amazon Appstore (Note 8; Inc2)

Chrome (Note 8)

Google Drive (Note 8)

*Dropbox (Note 8; Inc2)

*Dropsync (Note 8; Inc2)

*ES File Explorer (Note 8; Inc2)

*Evernote (Note 8; Inc2)

*Evernote Widget (Note 8; Inc2)

IMDB (Note 8; Inc2)

My Files (Note 8)

I would think that apps that somehow interact with the file system and/or with shortcuts/widgets might be suspect, so I have starred those apps in the above list where they have been present on all 3 devices. At the moment I am wondering the most about the Evernote Widget app for some reason. Though really none of the above should be affecting app shortcuts the way we're observing.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], do you have any of the above installed on your device (I think you said you have a Note 10.1?)? If there are some of the above that you don't have installed, that might help us narrow down the potential suspects (since you don't observe the shortcuts problem on your device).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5235189]pluginalong[/MENTION]: I have several of these apps installed on my test devices (Adobe Reader, Chrome, etc.), some of them were even preinstalled. Shortcuts are mostly created by sending a so-called `container intent´ using a so-called `broadcast´, which means that the `container intent´ and its content got `parceled´ and hence independent of the sender app. Therefore, I do not think that any of these apps cause the problem, I rather suspect that the shortcuts reset when the launcher app gets updated. At least the stock launcher app gets updated without user interaction (similar to the Google Play app and other system apps), so that one does usually not notice such update. It is somewhat non-trivial to inquire the last update date on my non-rooted devices, but users with rooted device should be able to do so.

1. Basically I'm asking if I manually move folders out of the LN data folders that pertain to notebooks will that cause any problems in LN or is that a valid way to "move" notebooks out of LN?

2. That would be great. Hopefully you find something that works with LN!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pluginalong:
What you're saying makes sense. It has seemed like a long shot that there might be an app causing the problem, and it certainly makes more sense that the Samsung launcher "app" is somehow to blame. From what you're saying though, it would have to mean that every time I have had LN update (or DejaOffice or Papyrus, which are other apps that experience the same problem) that the Samsung launcher app is also being updated (ie, an update is downloaded and applied)--is that what you're trying to say?

The problem is very consistent: It only occurs when an app (with shortcuts) is updated, and the problem is only exhibited in the updated app(s). For example, LN recently updated and so it's shortcuts are all broken again, but my DejaOffice shortcuts are unaffected. But once the next DejaOffice update occurs then those shortcuts too will be broken in the same way.

Here is a potentially relevant thread about Tasker icons reverting in the same way we're talking about (only in the case of the following thread it occurs after a reboot):

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/V1C1u3U2b04

It seems more and more that this is an issue with the Samsung launcher, which is rather disheartening as I wonder if they will bother to fix it. :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4035388]jeggen[/MENTION]: You can manually move (or remove) directories within (or from) the app directory, just take care that LectureNotes is not running in that moment. LectureNotes rebuilds the notebooks board internally in every run and fully relies on the file system structure. However, what is not a good idea is to remove or to rename files within a directory.

[MENTION=5235189]pluginalong[/MENTION]: No, if the problem consistently occurs when the app is updating, then the reason is not the update of the launcher app. I observed a few times that my shortcuts got reset despite that I did not update LectureNotes in that moment, so I though it might be that the launcher app got updated in that case.

However, the fact that the problem consistently occurs when the app is updating does not mean that the problem is not with the launcher app, but it is difficult to understand why. It would be interesting to know whether other launcher apps display the same problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pluginalong:
Thanks for the clarification. I will continue to monitor things to be sure I'm not mistaken on my perceptions, but I feel fairly confident in how I've represented things since I'm seeing the same problem across several apps.

I agree. The Samsung launcher seems like the most likely culprit at this point. Is it possible that another app could have some kind of interaction effect with the Samsung launcher that could result in this? If another app is contributing to the problem that could explain why there's not more reports of this (ie, if it only occurs with a certain combination of app and Samsung launcher). I agree that it would be helpful to know if anyone experiences this with another launcher.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], [MENTION=2032635]taylordawg[/MENTION]: What OS version are you each using? My Note 8 is currently Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5235189]pluginalong[/MENTION]: Difficult to say what additional interference could occur.

My Note 10.1 runs also Android 4.1.2.

At least as far as LectureNotes is concerned, widgets seem not be affected, and LectureNotes now allows widgets for notebooks (meaning that clicking on it opens the notebook on the last opened location, as a shortcut does). Hence, you could use widgets instead of shortcuts to avoid the problem, the only problem is that the minimal size is 2x2 and not 1x1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
Opening a new Notebook and choosing template will copy the notebook settings. It would be really nice to have an option to copy the content as well.

I know that I can copy a notebook but this feature would optimize my workflow.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: So your suggestion is to allow to duplicate a notebook via the new notebook dialog, additionally to the already existing functionality `duplicate notebook´ on the notebooks board?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Joklos:
That would be great.

I am working in folder A and need a new notebook from a template. What I do so far is:

- Go to the template folder

- Dublicate the template-notebook

- Move the new notebook to the working folder A

- Go to the folder A

- Open the new notebook settings and change the name

That are five steps which could be done in one

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]

A couple of questions/issues.

1) I have a notebook that has an image as the background. Basically I have an image I've created that creates paper as a worksheet that I fill in in LN. When I share this page that background is not included unless I use include paper "pattern." What's the difference paper background and paper pattern? Is the background just the color you've selected?

2) Is there any way to export a single page as a PDF?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5313485]Joklos[/MENTION]: Interesting idea, I noted it down.

[MENTION=4035388]jeggen[/MENTION]: 1. Paper background refers to the paper color that you set for the notebook, whereas paper pattern refers to the standard pattern (plain, checkered, ruled), a custom or an image pattern.

2. You can do that in notebook overview, tag the page(s) in question and select `Export tagged pages to PDF´ in the main menu. Note that you can enabled `single page export menu items´ in the app's menu settings, then you can export the current page directly in notebook content view. Note also that you can include the page number(s) into the PDF file name if you wish that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5345164]big_w[/MENTION]: Glad to hear that you like the app.

1. The next larger update v2.4 will include custom drawing tools coded in JavaScript, this will allow for dashed and dotted lines, more shapes, etc. I presently plan at least one minor update v2.3.8 before, so that I have to ask you for some patience.

2. Interesting idea, I noted it down.

3. This can be done using custom paper pattern (see also 7).

4. LectureNotes usage of many individual files to store notebook pages is ideal for syncing, and there are numerous apps that allow automatic syncing with your favorite cloud service. Including cloud service access into LectureNotes would not give any benefit (but placing me in a rat race to keep up with security updates etc.)

5. LectureNotes provides all Android standard fonts. I am not aware that Android provides means of including additional fonts.

6. Android contains a severe bug concerning the spell checker, which makes apps to crash for longer text (what is particularly annoying is that the dialog that comes up claims that `LectureNotes has crashed´ instead of correctly stating that `Android has crashed´). Therefore, spell checking has to be disabled, I am sorry.

7. LectureNotes comes with numerous custom paper pattern examples: Click on `custom´ paper pattern in the notebook settings, this will bring up the JavaScript editor. In the main menu, select `Use template´, this will bring up the custom paper pattern overview displaying all examples (and notebooks that contain custom paper pattern). Select one of the examples by clicking on it, this brings you back to the JavaScript editor and you see the corresponding JavaScript code. Click on the `back´ button and confirm that you wish to use this code, this brings you back to the notebook settings. Click on `OK´ to use the new settings.

To provide an interface that is easier than a JavaScript interface will be difficult...

8. You can attach keywords to pages, LectureNotes creates a table of contents and an index from that. Note that there is a searchable help page, select `Help´ in any of the main menus. The help page is also available as http://lecturenotes.wikia.com/.

9. There are numerous user forums concerning LectureNotes, for instance this one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jeggen:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] Any possibility of LN having a Tasker plugin that would allow Tasker to execute a task that opens a specified notebook to current location or a new page? (Like the current create shortcut or create quick note shrotcut functionality.)

Basically what I'm doing here is having Tasker launch an app or a plugin when I remove the SPen. All I can do right now is launch LN but I'd love to be able to have tasker launch a specific notebook or do a quicknote function. I'd setup Tasker to Launch that plugin and open that notebook or do the quicknote addition anytime I remove my Spen and am active in the homescreen (launcher app) of the device.

Not sure how many others would use this kind of functionality, but would essentially let me replace the SNote popup note function with LN, which I would be trilled about!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] big_w:
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

1 & 2 great, cant wait to see what you have planned.

3 & 7 I and I am sure many others dont know much about coding etc, I meant a simple user interfaces that you could specify, headers, footers, margins, layout options, with perhaps pick boxes, or input fields etc hopefully this makes more sense to you now.

4 I did not explain this too well sorry for that, I mean you give us a ility to backup at a set time etc so it automatically creates a full zip file into a folder of choice, so I would have mine to Dropbox.

5 not sure but I only see two (serif and san serif) probably me being blind and or stupid. Will check again, but when I click the A bottom left a menu comes up with those two.

6 any time frame from them on fixing this ?

8 will take a look on there, but last time I looked it was quite sparsely populated.

9 fair point.

Hope I have not offended you with my comments, it truly is the best app in the world! !!!!!!!!

I have saved hours using this up to now, keep up the great work.

[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]: Thanks for the response and suggestion! I don't think the existing widget will do what I am wanting, unfortunately (and it is bigger than I prefer for my purposes). I like being able to quickly spot the appropriate notebook by it's color cover, and that is something the current widget does not seem to display.

It is so strange that you are on the same version of Android, but myself and [MENTION=2032635]taylordawg[/MENTION] are having the shortcut malfunction when you are not. These kinds of bugs are so annoying--they're not mission critical, but they're enigmatic and persistent. Grrr... :mad:

Thanks for troubleshooting with us though! Hopefully it will get fixed eventually (and/or one of us will figure out what is causing the problem).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4035388]jeggen[/MENTION]: I plan to add a kind of remote control to LectureNotes. Actually, I wanted to do that to allow things such as multiple PDF import, but the functionality that you suggest could be added as well.

[MENTION=5345164]big_w[/MENTION]: 4. Interesting idea. There are several apps that allow to do things at certain times, to create a ZIP file should not be too difficult.

5. There is sans serif, serif, and monospace.

6. No idea, I need to check in the Android source whether this has been fixed in latest Android release.

[MENTION=5235189]pluginalong[/MENTION]: You can select that LectureNotes displays the notebook cover for notebook widgets, but the size is 2x2 at minimum.

[MENTION=5396994]Chris00011[/MENTION]: There is a change log at the `About LectureNotes´ page.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pluginalong:
That sounds cool! :)

Okay, thanks! I found that setting now. Still wish it could do 1x1 though.

But what I really wish is that I could find a permanent solution to this Android bug--it just did it again (with a different app that updated yesterday)!

Edit: I just tried rebooting my Note 8 to see if the shortcut would correct itself, and this time it did! The app in question is Todoist and the shortcut is the Add Task shortcut. I know that I've tried doing a reboot in the past, so I'm not sure why this time it worked. The only thing I can think of is that I had not yet used (I don't think) the Todoist "Add Task" shortcut, so perhaps that makes a difference. I will try doing a reboot with other apps (such as LectureNotes and Deja Office) immediately after app updates and see if that works. Still not ideal, but definitely better than having to recreate a half-dozen shortcuts across my various apps.

I think that if you create a widget, associate it with a notebook, and then create a 2nd widget and associate it with a different notebook, that you can achieve what you're wanting.

That will be great! Can't wait to see what kind of options this opens up and interacting with Tasker would definitely open a lot of unique possibilities. Even thinking about how a task might be triggered on a calendar event and open a specific notebook based on the tasks to take meeting notes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4644157]davidlondono[/MENTION]: There is an option `auto-rotate´ in the PDF import setup in the app's import setting. When this option is enabled, LectureNotes rotates imported PDF of this makes them fit `better´ on the page; disable this option and no rotation will occur. In the same setup, you can adjust margins, gravity etc. as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] davidlondono:
i just saw ur post, yes, i saw the option after asking here, but thanks

i have an other issue, i notise that the 100% of a page is when it is just at the size of the screen. so when i use the multi-window it doesnt keep the ratio of the page, so i have to rezoom to adjust it.

its like it dont mind of the density of pixels in the page, it is just the screen size, so with a low-res page, the pixels just dont fix with the screen

(i dont know if i write it right, sorry for the english)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4644157]davidlondono[/MENTION]: Well, the two options `fit width´ and `fit height´ do what the claim, they scale the notebook pages such that the page width or height fit into the display/window width or height. One could think of a third option such as `fit resolution´ which would scale notebook pages such that the page resolution fits the display resolution. As `fit width´ and `fit height´ also set the scrolling direction, one would need to define the scrolling direction of `fit resolution´.
