[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: LectureNotes has rectangle and other drawing tools built-in.

[MENTION=4346221]drdoombot[/MENTION]: Right, that's the correct way of calculating the optimal resolution.

I live in the part of the world in which the metric system rules, so, with very rare exceptions, all multi-pages PDF files that cross my way are A4, and my LectureNotes' notebooks are A4 (1280 px times 1811 px), hence my settings for the multiple pages PDF resolution is 155dpi fixed.

I understand the problem of importing PDF files of different aspect ratios. One could add the adjustment of resolution, margins, and alignment in the dialog box in which you enter the pages to be imported. The initial values in the dialog box would be the ones of the app's settings, but you could tweak them if necessary. I noted this down.

A resolution calculator is in general a bit tricky, as PDF files are not required to have all pages with the same aspect ratio.

Is it possible to sort different folders differently.I mean for example I have 2 folders A and B;Inside A I have 5 notebooks and I want to sort them by date and inside B I have 7 folders and I want to sort them by name.And the main board as well.:confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] lazer155:
I knowledge it has the tools but I was wondering if it would autocorrect your geometric shapes so all the lines are neat like snote. Using the geometric tools works too but the autocorrecting shapes would be nice. It's not a very necessary feature though.

Will lecture notes ever be vector based?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kumabjorn:
LectureNote is bitmap based and I like that, there is an app called Stylus Write that is vector based.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4881246]ordeniz[/MENTION]: At the moment, sorting is the same for all folders and the notebooks board, the one set in the app's settings. One could have individual sorting, I put that on my to-do-list. Note that you can enforce a certain order by selecting alphabetical sorting and use for instance `001 First Folder´, `020 Second Folder´, etc. as names.

[MENTION=4856730]lazer155[/MENTION]: I am considering handwriting and shape-recognition as well as a vector-based sibling of LectureNotes, but this will not come in the near future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] xd-galaxy:
Sometimes the two-finger zoom stops working me. If it does, I have to quit the app, wait a few minutes and then go back. It doesn't work if I just close it and start it up again. Why is this?

Galaxy Note 10.1

Android 4.1.2

Also, my girlfriend's tablet (same one) is really, really slow at loading LN (compared to my tablet): everything from opening up the app, opening a folder, saving a notebook, etc. Anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?

Anyways, thanks for an awesome app!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5454172]xd-galaxy[/MENTION]: Your description sounds like a hardware-problem with multi-touch, in particular the fact that you have to wait for a few minutes suggests that.

Concerning your girl friend's tablet: Please check that `enable GPU/hardware rendering´ is not enabled in the device's developer settings, this slows down LectureNotes a lot. Another common reason for slow response is low SD card memory or low RAM, please check that there is sufficient free space on the SD card. Concerning RAM, please check memory consumption of Live Wallpapers and other background services, note also that Android tends to `loose´ RAM over time, an occasion reboot gives Android a fresh start.

Hi,

Thank you again for this app. I wonder if you would be interested/able to incorporate a "Savitzky-Golay" pen input smoothing filter? I'm not exactly sure what it is, but the Quill app uses it and I find that the smoothing works pretty nicely, maybe even better than the smoothing filter currently in Lecture Notes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5184200]gnoteuser2013[/MENTION]: To add a Savitzky-Golay filter is an interesting idea, I noted it down.

Notebook layout on main page

First, I want to thank the developer for this great app. In a very short period, I have made a lot of different notebooks and scrolling through them is a hassle. Also I use the names of the research papers as titles and they can get lengthy. I was wondering if there is an option for an alternate view with just the names as placeholders for the notebooks in the main page and do away with the red rectangles representing the notebooks( never really liked that red color). Or if there isnt an existing method, if it would be possible to implement one? Should not be too hard but I'm just guessing here.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] werpnst8:
I have a lot of different notebooks as well, and rather than look at the notebook covers, I choose the option in the SETTINGS > DISPLAY > NOTEBOOKS BOARD APPEARANCE and select "Ultracompact (text only)." Then I see my notebooks as a list rather than by cover.

One other thing I've learned to do so that I'm not loaded with too many notebooks at once is that I created two notebook folders. One is CURRENT and the other is ARCHIVE. In the Current folder, I save notebooks I'm currently in the process of reading and once I'm finished marking up the imported PDF, I share the pdf to my evernote account and move the notebook to the Archive folder. So at any one time, I only have the handful of papers I actually need to read immediately.

I also limit the number of notebooks by only sending PDFs to lecturenotes if I plan to mark them up (such as when I'm serving as a reviewer or I'm commenting on a student research paper, etc.). If I'm only reading the research paper and keeping a few short notes, I send them directly to Evernote and put the comments in the EN note itself.

Hope that helps. This app has improved my academic workflow TREMENDOUSLY!

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sdfghi:
Thanks for these tips! I looked in the display settings but I missed the ultracompact setting. This app does have a ton of features to use and I just started using it so I'm still trying out the different settings.

I keep all the research papers in dropbox and import them from there. But I will check out evernote and the editing available in there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2526944]sdfgh[/MENTION] & werpnst8: Many thanks for your kind comments.

[MENTION=2526944]sdfgh[/MENTION]: Note the option `display as tree´ for the ultracompact view, then a click on a folder folds/unfolds the interior, still keeping all the rest visible.

Templates not working

All of a sudden all the custom paper templates are showing up as blank paper. Has anybody else has the problem? I am not rooted and running stock. I am on Verizon Note 4.1.2 and build JZ054K.I925VRAMH2.

The builtin checkered and ruled paper works. None of the custom paper works.

Please help.:(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] sdfghi:
I have another question. Is it possible to insert handwritten notes in a previously used page? Or an option to insert a blank page between two already full pages ? I can see that in notebook overview, I can move a given page to the end of the notebook, but what if I want to insert a page in between given pages ? TIA
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3288230]ppateel[/MENTION]: I guess that you have enabled `enforce GPU/hardware rendering´ in the device's developer settings. This slows down LectureNotes a low, furthermore custom paper patterns do not get displayed.

[MENTION=4341919]sdfghi[/MENTION]: You can use the corresponding items in the hand menu to insert a page before or after the current page.

Is it possible to set the hover function to be on only when recording a video? Sure, one can set it on and off manually but I always forget that before starting the recording.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2505694]Axel_[/MENTION]: This is certainly possible, but I guess that such functionality would be rather specific (only less than 1 out of 100 LectureNotes' user has LectureVideos installed).

[MENTION=5345164]big_w[/MENTION] & others that have been bugged by LectureNotes' shortcuts getting reset: I just uploaded v2.3.10 into the app stores in which the procedure to create a shortcut is revised: Selecting `create shortcut´ now updates the shortcut icon in the widget section of your launcher, and placing (i.e. pulling) this icon to the launcher screen places the shortcut icon (the shortcut icon will change once it is placed on the launcher screen). This two-step procedure should avoid shortcuts getting reset in the future. Older shortcuts still work, of course.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] big_w:
Thanks for that [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]. Will update now and let you know if I still have issues.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Red314:
I've been using LN to take notes during class and it works well, but I had a problem today.

While taking notes the screen became black, as if it was off, and then i had to press the power button twice (the first time to actually turn the screen off, and the second to turn it back on) in order to get to the lock screen, and then to LN. This happened 3 times in about 2 hours, and apparently for no reason.

I'm running LN on a note 10.1 N8010 with no root. Is there some kind of log i can post to help identifying the problem?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] pluginalong:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], Very happy to hear this! Thank you for your hard work on all that! I've now set up all my shortcuts with the new method, so now just to wait for the next LN update to see if we will all be happy or frustrated with the OS and whatever is going on with the shortcuts. Really am looking forward to having them not get reset! :D Thanks again! :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5469513]Red314[/MENTION]: This problem is not connected to LectureNotes but occurs in other apps as well, it seems to be connected to S-pen usage (this is why you observe it when using the S-pen in LectureNotes) and Samsung's AirView. Numerous users reported to me that the problem does not longer occur if you disable AirView.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] drdoombot:
I'd like to second the recommendation for the Savitzky-Golay filter.

I've been using Quill to create flashcards for import into Flux Cards and the smoothness is amazing.

When I went back to LN for other tasks, I found myself playing with the pencil thickness and softness (yet again!) to try to achieve the same smoothness. I can't seem to get the jaggedness to a level that doesn't bother me. I'd love to hear the settings other people have used to see if they will work for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4346221]drdoombot[/MENTION]: OK, I added an optional Savitzky-Golay filter of adjustable order, this will be part of the next update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jeggen:
I looked through the thread and didn't see any direct answers but wanted to confirm if the SPen with the eraser on the end is fully functional with LN? (E.g. using the eraser acts as an eraser in LN.) I am considering buying the pen but since 90% of my time is in LN I wanted to know if it would be functional.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Only if you are running stock Samsung ROM, otherwise, it won't work.

I've been looking for this quite long now, but looks like no custom ROM has got to correctly implement it yet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] thunderwolf17:
I have been using the SPen with eraser every day for almost a year and it works beautifully with LN! Moreover, I have yet to find a ROM with which it does not work. I have used Omega, ARHD, Hyperdrive, and probably a few others and this SPen works flawlessly on every one of them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Are we talking about this very same guy?

Man, I've used many ROMs and none of them supported the back rubber. Currently using ReVolt ROM, btw.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4035388]jeggen[/MENTION], Robdyx & thunderwolf17: I cannot comment on questions concerning custom ROMs, but if the ROM sets the tool type in the motion event sent to LectureNotes correctly, the eraser tail of the S-pen will act as eraser.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] thunderwolf17:
Yup, that is the one I am talking about. It has worked flawlessly since the day I got it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
Sure it has worked, all those ROMs are Samsung based, wich means they do have most of the pro's (and cons) of the stock ROM. I was talking about AOSP based ROMs such as ReVolt, PACMan, Black Beans and so, is which, as I was saying, it still doesn't work.

Also thanks for reminding me that there's more developer work besides AOSP :p

Formula Match

Dear Acadoid,

I have been using LN for almost half a year and I like it very much. but there is one thing I wish I have in LN: Formula Match, like the stock S-note. Is there any plan to implement that feature in LN. Or does it already have it and I don't know?

Thank you very much for this awesome app.

GooseChen
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] tritran18518:
I know this has been asked before but why does offset happen when writing near the edges of screen (for this application only. i tested with s-note, there was no offset at all wherever i write) ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4843618]goosechen[/MENTION]: I have handwriting recognition on my agenda, but this is rather for the mid-term future.

[MENTION=1627309]tritran18518[/MENTION]: Depending on the device, the S-pen detection can be slightly offset, either for the whole display or near the boundaries. LectureNotes allows for a constant shift to compensate for a constant offset, but does presently not allow for a position-dependent shift. If S-note doesn't display such offset, it probably means that Samsung performs some calibration for each individual device and provides the resulting information for their own apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Red314:
When i write on LN i keep hitting the notification bar and all the options come up. I know you can hide it from the app, but you need to have your device rooted and i don't want to do that.

I thought about changing the screen orientation reverse landscape, and then the relative orientation if the actual pages to flip. This way I have the notification bar on top and there is no risk of hitting it.

The problem is that the menu bar(the one with pens, erasers etc) is on the bottom unless you hide it, but i would like it to be on top and with the right orientation. Is there a way to do it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5469513]Red314[/MENTION]: No, not with standard Android means.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Robdyx:
hey [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION], since you have implemented an 'add image' shortcut icon, would you mind adding another one for PDFs this time? it's one of the features I use the most and would really enjoy this enhacement.

As always, thank you for listening to all of us.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=2658447]Robdyx[/MENTION]: This can be done (I just need to think what icon to use...).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jeggen:
Got one and love it... and eraser works great on the ROM I'm on... I'm sure it's because it's a TW based ROM, but nevertheless works great and I love it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] davidlondono:
I really love LN, i use it on every lecture on my university, so i came with some ideas for the app:

1. Add a popup menu, like air view on the new note 3, to select fast some options, u use the spen button to swich to eraser and cut, but i like to switch fast to draw lines, squares, or change the stroke, but clicking on the popup menu isn't very comfortable, so with a pop up menu, that drop when u have hovered with the spen would be nice

2. What about add a hole (or the pages u need)pdf adding new pages at the end of a notebook, i see that u can add yust one "draw"(page) at the page u have open
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] az33m:
does anyone use lecturenote for typing + writing? whenever i try to do that i end up having issues like the handwriting shifting up when i switch to typing and such. can anyone recommend a better app for this purpose?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4644157]davidlondono[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your kind comments.

1. There is the pencil toolbox to which you can also add the drawing tools. This is somewhat like the popup menu that you suggest, just permanently displayed.

2. You can append multiple PDF pages as new pages in notebook overview, select `Import PDF as new pages´ there. Or view a PDF with/share a PDF file to LectureNotes, then LectureNotes will ask you what you wish to do with it.

[MENTION=1396786]az33m[/MENTION]: The text layer of each notebook page can contain more text than can be displayed on the page with the given text size. If this is the case and you enter keyboard mode, the cursor is placed at the very end of the text and the text layer gets shifted up relative to the other (handwriting) layers.

Hi,

Registered just to participate in this thread.

Recently bought the new note 10.1 2014 edition, and am now in the process of testing out all the note taking apps.

Purchased lecture notes, papyrus and handy note pro.

Lecture notes wins hands down, its by far the most complete tool of the three. Nothing is ever black and white though, and there are some things that I think are better executed in the other apps.

* importing pictures. I use this feature a lot, to take pictures from handbooks and annotate them. Both papyrus and handynote default to a editing menu when importing. In this menu you can rotate, and more importantly, crop. I always need to crop, so I find it very useful that it defaults to that step.

* I always take the pictures with my s3, and dropbox them. So I would like an option to set dropbox as the default place to look for pictures, that would make my workflow faster.

* I too would like a second version of lecturenotes, which would be vector based, would gladly purchase again.

* It would be very useful to have a library of user defined symbols, which can easily be placed on the page. I would use these for electrical symbols, I'm sure everyone could find a good use for this in their own field.

Lastly I'd like to congratulate you. You have built a very good app, and your commitment to your user community, taking cues and tweaking the program to better suit the users, is just fantastic. I wish everyone would treat their customers like this!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5493287]wannesd[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your kind comments.

1. Long-click on the imported image to crop and adjust alpha (move, scale, rotate, and flip can be done directly).

2. I am not sure how that could be achieved. Does the Dropbox app show up as app to select an image?

3. I am not excluding a vector-based sibling of LectureNotes for all times, but not in the near future, I am sorry.

4. When you select `Paste from non-standard clipboard´, LectureNotes displays images collected at various places, for instance the Samsung proprietary clipboard but also the `Download´ folder in the SD card, sorted in inverse chronological order. If you place your images there, you can easily paste them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] drdoombot:
I have a bit of an irregular task I need to perform:

I imported a PDF last week. I added a second layer on top to annotate and have already annotated many pages. Today, a new version of the same PDF was released with small corrections (but many of them).

What is the easiest way for me to update only the PDF layer in my notebook so that I don't lose all my notes in layer 2? Or, is there any way to export just layer 2 (my notes) and then import them into a new notebook with the updated PDF?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4346221]drdoombot[/MENTION]: There is no direct way to achieve that, I am sorry. But it is an interesting (and probably not too seldom) problem, let me think a moment about it.

What you can do is to create a new notebook based on the new PDF file (take care that it has the same width and height as the already existing one), close LectureNotes, start a file manager app and copy the files pageX.png (with `X´ being the page number, these files contain the first layer) of the new notebook to the already existing one, start LectureNotes and open the already existing notebook, layer 1 should now display the new PDF.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] butla:
Wow, tried the trial version then purchased the full version as well as the Audio and Video, hands down the very best purchase I have ever made and it only keeps getting better. I use this every hour of the day both in my business and personal lives.

You sir are an absolute legend! :good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jkcarp94:
Is there a way in this app to specifically designate which notes I want to be eligible to be used as a template in the future? I have created specific templates that I want to use and every new note will be based on one of those two templates. The issue is that as my collection of notes grows, when I activate the use template feature it shows me a large and growing list of notes that can be used as a template. This is not a major problem but it is an inconvenience to scroll through that large list just to find one of the two notes that I really want to use as a template. If there is a way to designate those two notes as templates and have the app ignore any others that would be wonderful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=1364275]Butla[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your kind comments.

[MENTION=701491]jalanjkcarp[/MENTION]: LectureNotes offers you all existing notebooks as potential templates; to allow to opt in/out notebooks for this list is an interesting idea. The list is sorted alphabetically using the full path (folder and notebook name), so that you could name your templates in such way that makes them appear at the very top of the list, this would at least avoid scrolling/searching.

Exporting LectureNotes as PDF

Is there any way to set my pages to A4 sizes? I choose the opiton in settings to export pdf's as A4, but they are always larger than A4 when I open the exported pdf. I take my notes so I can fit what I need on one page, but when I export a singlepage it is larger than A4 and thus I need two print two pages. I appreciate any solutions....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Axel_:
When making a new notebook, make sure you set the right height and width. There's some help in this regard in the "?" next to the option, try that!

It might also be as simple as your printer settings. Make sure it doesn't add any margins, lecturenotes margins plus the printers might be to much. Also, make sure it's set as "fit to page". That way you should be able to print it even if the size of the PDF is A0.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] ContractDiver:
Okay, I think I found if I create a new notebook, i can choose the px size. So can I cange the size of already existing notebooks? Also, what is the signficance of choosing an export size of pdfs? Is the export size dependent on the orginal px size? Choosing A4 doesnt seem to give me an A4 export. It would be great if a user could choose an export size independent on what might already be choosen as a notebook page size. :)
