[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] grimloktt:
Is there a way to move some notes from one notebook to another?

Also, what about a setting for two pens. One the stock pen and another an aftermarket which requires an offset. It could be a shortcut on toolbar to switch between pens?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3374941]grimloktt[/MENTION]: To copy one or more pages from one notebook to another, open the source notebook in notebook overview (either directly from the notebooks board by long-clicking on the notebook and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the popup menu, or by opening the notebook normally and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the main menu), click on the tag to activate tag mode and on the pages to be copied to tag them. Then, (i) select `Copy tagged pages to clipboard´ in the main menu, close the source notebook and open the target notebook in notebook overview and select `Paste pages from clipboard´ in the main menu, or (ii) select `Copy tagged pages to notebook´ in the main menu and select the target notebook. To rearrange pages, click-and-drag them to the desired location.

Possibility (ii) will be available after the next update v2.4.10.

You are not the first to suggest switching between offset setups via the action bar; I am considering this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Solyomszem:
Hi Acadoid,

Do You plan to implement a magnified input field for written input as for example in NotesPlusApp for iPad? It would make my day for sure. :) Somehow I do find it more convenient to write that way.

Thanks in advance,

Solyomszem

Edit: Ok, I have found input zone in the input settings but I have to deactivate hardware stylus to be able to use. Would it be possible to use the two features at the same time? For me it is useful to see the page in whole and be able to write with such precision that the "input zone" provides.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=897087]Solyomszem[/MENTION]: This input method is called `input zone´ in LectureNotes, you can choose it in the app's input settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Solyomszem:
Thanks [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]. It seems that I have found it in the meantime and was typing my next question as an addition in the same post. :)

So here we go again: Is it possible to use stylus hardware detection AND input zone? (Pressure sensitivity and all the other features are really handy. :) )
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=897087]Solyomszem[/MENTION]: Not at the moment (but it is on my to-do-list).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] bgkstark:
Did you find a solution for the laggy s pen?? I have the same problem on the sm-p601 version
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] h8Aramex:
After I removed the zoom the app were running faster than enough.

If you even enable "fast render" options, it will be buttery smooth. And without zoom, I had no issues with the fast optoins, since I cannot see all those jagged lines that were bothering me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5857390]bgkstark[/MENTION]: Please ensure that `enforce GPU/hardware rendering´ is not enabled in the device's developer settings, this slows down LectureNots a lot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] bgkstark:
It's not enabled. Lecture notes is kinda smooth. But not s notes. . Any idea why only that app is laggy while writing and not the lecture notes?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] cominfou:
I tried both apps, but i like s-note because it is very smooth and fast. For me non of the apps are laggy but i find s-note is more easy to use and quick.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Ulukaii1983:
I ditched Lecture Notes for S-Notes.

Thing is, I like the graphical way the menus work in S-Notes - instead of writing "red pen" they have a picture of a red pen.

This is somehow closer to the painting workflow in my brain, which is hardcoded since my childhood: "if you want to draw something red, look for a red pen."

Just having a menu entry stating "red pen" puts some stress onto my brain's left side, which has to translate symbols on a screen into a meaning which then has to be picturized into a red pen....

I used lecture notes a lot, but I didn't like it for its cumbersome menus which have such a lot of text and so little graphics.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] h8Aramex:
Yeah but having no continous pages/scrolling makes it unusable for taking notes.

Unless it's a real slow meeting or class. Pressing the new page button and switching back and forth just to see what you wrote tiny bit back.. is a hassle.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] WJThomas:
I don't use the menus in lecture notes much. I prefer to select the pen from the floating pen window, much closer to the box of crayons workflow that was hardcoded in my brain long before I was allowed to use pens or paints. The only thing that could make the workflow closer would be to have a feature where you shake the tablet and the crayons fall out of the box.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] WPWoodJr:
The issue with this is that when two-finger scrolling, you also can too easily change the zoom level. It would be nice if zooming could be disabled when scrolling.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
I like S note's Selection of pens, also writing in lecture notes lookes jagged and pixelated. I also appreciate the transform tool in S note
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] wingdo:
The new S Note is a great improvement, but I am still using Lecture Notes, mostly because it can use the SD card.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
How can it use the SD card? I write a lot of notes and I tried figuring out how to save to external SD or to export in Lecture Notes format (if I export to PDF it doesn't look that great), but couldn't figure it out.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

Can you make the resolution higher in notebook setup in order to get rid of the jagged look? It's a concern of mine as well. I just don't have the Note with me at the moment to try it out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
I just tried increasing the resolution of the paper, it makes it look even more jagged :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
Hmm. Maybe try reducing the resolution then?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
While this is true, it gets annoying when you actually press your hand on the screen to write. Because it's 1 finger scroll and your palm is recognized as a finger input it scrolls instead of writes.

[MENTION=405369]chrisn[/MENTION]ee you are probably zoomed in way too close if it appears pixelated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
Portrait - no zoom, it looks ok, still quite a bit worse than how handwriting looks in S Notes. But the lines from the ruled paper are too small to write on in portrait.

Landscape - some zoom, hand writing looks passable when using the included s pen but sometimes it still gets wavy and jagged. When using the surface pen (maybe its more sensative), it looks terrible.

Point is handwriting doesn't look nearly as nice and smooth as it does on S Note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
You can increase the size of the lines and the space between them when you set up the notebook. I forget what it's called, but it's the one that has the percentage next to it.

I don't have mine with me to see.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
I prefer them to be small to imitate college ruled paper, I just write in landscape.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5413541]Han Solo 1[/MENTION]: You can set LectureNotes' app directory in the app's storage settings. Note that it requires an app restart for a change to take effect and that existing notebooks will not be copied to the new location. To transfer the notebooks, backup the notebooks board at the old location and restore the notebooks board from the backup at the new location.

[MENTION=3133381]ChrisNee1988[/MENTION]: The jagged tails are a problem on many Samsung devices. Enable the pressure filter in the filter setup with a threshold of 5% to 10% in the app's input settings (whether you enable `enforce lifting´ or not is a matter of taste, most users disable that), this should resolve the problem.

[MENTION=3133381]ChrisNee1988[/MENTION] & dteg: If you click at the `?` aside `paper size´, LectureNotes gives recommendations concerning paper width and height, dependent on device orientation.

[MENTION=3133381]ChrisNee1988[/MENTION] & Han Solo 1: The distance between lines can be adjusted in the notebook settings (or directly when creating a new notebook). If you click on the `?´ aside `paper pattern´, LectureNotes gives recommendations concerning the scale (for instance, if you wish to have rued paper with 10mm distance if you print the notebook on A4).

Note that there are numerous more paper pattern, so-called custom paper pattern, coded in JavaScript. To see them, click on `custom´ as paper pattern, this brings up the JavaScript editor. Then, select `use template´ in the main menu, this brings up an overview of the examples. To select one, click on it, this copies the code into the editor. Click on `back´ and confirm to use it for the notebook.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
Great post, thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] wilsonhuang:
Lecture notes is a great app even better than s notes. However it feels very complicated to learn and use since I'm coming from s note. How do you make the pressure sensitivity of s note the same in lecture notes?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
Go to Settings - Handling - and select Use Pressure sensitive standard pencils. Theres some settings that you can tweak, i'm still playing around with them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] wilsonhuang:
Thank you Chris.

Is it me or does lecture notes feel laggy when I write? Especially in multi window.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
It doesn't feel laggy to me
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4313160]wilsonhuang[/MENTION]: A common reason of slow response is that `enforce GPU/hardware rendering´ is enabled in the device's developer settings, this slows down LectureNotes a lot.

You can make the standard pencil pressure sensitive (as described by ChrisNee1988) as well as each of the 18 custom pencil individually.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Smac7:
You can change the size of the lines. It defaults to 33, raise it to like 45. If you thicken the pen little it will look smoother. also, try increasing the softness just a little.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
see, this is why i love xda, where else do the actual developers come and post help when we start threads. this alone shows how good lecturenotes is, when you get in trouble they come and answer all questions lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
Acadoid, is there any way to use a custom image as a notebook cover, or are we only able to use the solid color/first page image?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] razzbaronz:
I'd like this as well, would this be difficult to implement?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5413541]Han Solo 1[/MENTION] & razzbaronz: Long-click on the cover in the notebook/folder settings (or when creating a new notebook/folder), then choose `image´ and select the image.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
Awesome, thanks!

Just so you know, acadoid, your app is the primary reason I have the Note 10.1. I'm recommending it to pretty much everybody that uses a tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5413541]Han Solo 1[/MENTION]: Many thanks, I am glad to hear that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] razzbaronz:
Agreed, a lot of the time I'm showing off features of my Note 10.1, they're actually features of your application. Really solid app, acadoid. I can't imagine this tablet without it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
i 2nd both of these. honestly i spent months researching apps for note taking in class a few years ago and EVENTUALLY i found lecturenotes because of someone on a random forum talking about it. after using it for so long i tell EVERYONE. there's no reason this app should ever stay hidden.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Froschfinger:
Coming from an HTC Flyer, I am used to have the notes app sync all notes from and to Evernote, S-Note only takes care of the ones made on this tablet, which is a real mess. Or did I miss any hidden settings for that?!

As for an alternative app that syncs to Evernote: I have found not a single one. Did anybody (and I don't mean 'export' when I write 'sync' ;) ) find one?

Best,

Froschfinger
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] boltor:
i am ok with this. all I want is s note (or lecture notes, or any other app) to sync to / from Evernote for new notes created on the tablet. so, really just a front end that is good at capturing notes (and especially text recognition). don't mind if all notes are not synced from evernote (in fact would prefer that)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Froschfinger:
Be it so, there is nonetheless none that is doing the job, is it :( ? Quill is one fine notes app, but still no sync, just export possible. Anyone tried that?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
I use drop sync to sync everything
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Froschfinger:
Is it able to sync notes to and from Evernote?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
S note can
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] dteg:
he wants something that does ALL his notes and not only the ones created in S note on his tablet. at least thats what i gather from reading his post =/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] noleafclover830:
Acadoid, I echo the sentiments of the others who essentially purchased the Note for your app. LectureNotes is serving me extremely well in medical school, and I'm very thankful for it every day.

I have one question/request regarding notebook templates. Right now in the template drop-down, I get a list of recently opened notebooks. All I really want in a template is the paper size and grid properties. When I select the template of a previous notebook, it overwrites the file name as well. Is there a way to create two or three generic templates that dictate only paper size and grid?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4390346]noleafclover830[/MENTION]: Many thanks for your kind comments.

If you long-click on `use template´ in the new notebook dialog, LectureNotes lets you choose whether you wish to copy the notebook name or not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
Acadoid, is there an issue with this app and wallpapers? Whenever I exit the app, my wallpaper disappears and there is only a black background.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5413541]Han Solo 1[/MENTION]: I guess that you are hiding the system bar on a rooted device, aren't you? Losing a static wallpaper when hiding the system bar is a know side effect on newer Android version, and to my knowledge, there is no fix (note that a live wallpaper is not affected). I was thinking about providing a small helper app that obtains the static wallpaper when it gets started and restores it automatically every time the static wallpaper gets lost. However, Google has finally provided a means of hiding the system bar without root in the latest Android 4.4, so that this problem will be history soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
Very nice write up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Han Solo 1:
Thanks! This worked perfectly.

As for 4.4, who knows when it will actually come to this tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ChrisNee1988:
[MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION] is there any way to improve performance of lecturenotes when using multiwindow?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Chaleman:
Hi [MENTION=4619147]acadoid[/MENTION]... I'm a big fan of your note taking app and I recommend it to everyone!! One question, will we be able someday to fully sync this with evernote so that it becomes a truly multi-platform app?

Thanks!

Chale
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=3133381]ChrisNee1988[/MENTION]: I guess you are using the 2014 edition of the Note 10.1, right? The reason for the lag that some (but not all) users observe on this device is mysterious. LectureNotes runs fine in dual or cascade view on my old Note 10.1, so it is difficult to see why it might not on the new Note 10.1. I am presently waiting for my own 2014 edition to arrive to investigate this further.

[MENTION=2002956]Chaleman[/MENTION]: I receive a lot requests concerning syncing in various forms. In most cases, syncing can be equally well done using a separate app, so that I prefer to concentrated development on LectureNotes' core functions, at least for the moment. But I am not excluding such features for all future.

FolderSync is a good app for Sync, but i it won't be an evernote file: it's a lecturenotes file. They're different formats.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] earthtk:
I think I didn't had lag before the update. Only after that I experience lag on dual screen..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=4463015]earthtk[/MENTION]: Which update? Samsung's OTA system update or LectureNotes' update?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] earthtk:
I not sure which affects which but I know when I started trying out lecture note(comes with the 1st samsung firmware) there wasn't a lag.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jack880:
I use DropSync too.

The only problem is if you forget to close a notebook on one device, and sync the other device, when you sync the first device you get conflicting files.

This will also happen with s-note etc, but is easier to resolve as each notebook is a single file rather than a folder full of files.

Acadoid - my question is: If I look in the folder for the notebook, I see each page has a .png file for each layer. E.g. page195_2.png. If I get a conflict, and end up with "page195_2.png" and "page195_2 (conflicted copy).png" will the app always look at the normal file, or is there a pointer somewhere that might tell it to read the conflicted version?

Hope that makes sense - in other words, if I want to keep the conflicted version, can I delete "page195_2.png" and rename "page195_2 (conflicted copy).png" to "page195_2.png"?

Many thanks Acadoid, there is nothing else like your app. I actually think Samsung should pay you a huge amount of money and include it pre-installed on their Notes. It is so much more powerful than s-note.

Looking forward to the update to speed up the zooming on the 2014 note!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5518992]jack880[/MENTION]: In the example that you gave, LecturesNotes will load page195_2.png, so that you could delete and rename. Be careful that LectureNotes is not running when doing that.

If there was a single large file, syncing would be much harder, as the whole file would need to go over the net for every sync.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Finalform:
Im not sure if this has been asked/answers already, or if its a basic function i just haven't found in the app,

but when i export as pdf in lecture notes, and i open the annotated pdf using adobe reader (or foxit reader on my desktop),

the ability to "ctrl + F" to search for a word seems to be lost. (for both original text in the pdf, and the annotated text)

Is there a setting which i haven't toggled on, or is this due to some conversion compromise from png to pdf ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jack880:
Many thanks for the reply. It will be easy to resolve conflicts in that case. The fact that the pages are all separate files allows you to chse which pages to keep from which version. With a conflict with s note, you would have to choose one whole file to keep.

I take your point about the time to sync. Another big plus for lecturenotes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5004305]Finalform[/MENTION]: When you import PDF into LectureNotes, it gets converted to LectureNotes' own format. You can (re)export to PDF, but the result is not searchable. If you wish to annotate PDF files keeping the PDF file structure intact, you need to use a PDF viewer app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Scohann:
If you have Acrobat you can have it scan the pdf to analyze it for characters. I just tried it on a few notes I exported from Lecture Notes and it picked up all of the text really well. Now my notes are searchable again.

Problem with pdf import

I have a trial version of Lecture Notes. Is there some reason why I cannot import 2 pages long pdf? I would like to know how they look like in the lecture note so that I can decide if I'm going to buy it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] acadoid:
[MENTION=5545956]TuuDoIt[/MENTION]: To import multiple pages of a PDF file at once, open your notebook in notebook overview (either directly from the notebooks board by a long-click and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the popup, or by opening the notebook normally and selecting `Notebook overview´ in the main menu) and select `Import PDF file as new pages´ in the main menu. To create a new notebook based on a PDF file, select `Import PDF as new notebook´ in the notebooks board main menu. An alternative is to open (or to share) the PDF file and select LectureNotes in the list of viewer (or receiver) apps, then LectureNotes will ask you how you wish to import the PDF file. The resolution, margins, and alignment can be be adjusted in the app's import settings.

Note that the constraint on the maximal number of eight pages per notebook of the trial version does also apply to PDF import and creating a new notebook based on a PDF file.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] TuuDoIt:
Thank you for advices. I tried to follow hem, but I did not find that kind of options. I found the places where they should be. For example option “Import PDF file as new notebook” is missing. There is only option “Import notebook or folder”. No other import options. If I go to notebook and try to add PDF there is only option “Import image”. What can be reason for this?
