LectureNotes app

[Kumabjorn]

But the text box (keyboard icon) covers the whole page...

@Kumabjorn: Yes, in fact you have to click inside the area of the text layer (with the default settings, the margins are too small to click outside the area, I am just mentioning this in case you have set larger margins in the text layer setup).

@acadoid actually I have to double tap to get the keyboard to appear, don't know why but at least the dumb blonde sensation is gone.

@Hahahalalala: You need to convert to PDF first. What do you wish to spell-check? Your handwritten notes?

@Chinaboy5216: You can reduce three clicks to a long-click on the hand icon (which activates hand mode and displays the menu simultaneously, works on the other mode icons as well) and a second click on the item. Would it help to have an option so that the `+´ icon appends a page and does not get you there? Or do you need both functions?

@philam1: Many thanks for your kind comments.

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, and 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. To rearrange pages, click-and-drag them to the desired location.

@Kumabjorn: That a soft keyboard does not up automatically is intentionally, it comes up when you click on the page.

For me it would be great if the + icon would do as you describe, it would be perfect it that would be possible. Thx for the suggestion!!

@Chinaboy5216: I just uploaded v2.3.9 into the app stores which has an option to disable scrolling to the page appended using the `+´ icon. It might take a moment until the new version is available.

Thanks a lot, for me personally this is a big improvement. What a dev!!!!

Edit: used the new function today, big improvement for me!! Thx Acadoid.

Is there a way to do an incremental backup once a full backup is complete? My notebook board is fairly large by now because I use LN almost daily. So it takes quite some time each time I backup my files, and yet many of the old notes haven't changed. In fact some of the notebooks probably won't be opened again since those projects are completed.

If this feature is already available and I'm just not realizing it, I apologize.

Thanks again for a wonderful app.

Why don't you copy or even better save your files on your tf card? My file are all on the external card. Backup is very easy like that. Pop it out of the tablet and trough a card reader just save to a folder on your laptop or desktop.

Just a suggestion.

Suggestion: use an app like folder sync. It does backup automatically.

I wish to spellcheck my typed notes.

Also, it seems my bluetooth keyboard has a lag sometimes with LectureNotes. Is this a common problem? It doesn't lag with other applications, only when I type in LectureNotes. It usually doesn't lag for the first few minutes then once I start typing a lot of notes it has at least a 1 second delay. It becomes annoying. Any way I can fix it?

Thanks

Android now comes with a system wide spell check, so you don't need it in an app, if you don't have it then there are lots of keyboards that offer the feature, much better than each app comes with it.

@werpnst8: To do incremental backup isn't that complicated, what is complicated is to restore from that. As a compromise between backup file size and complexity, one could do the incremental steps on whole notebooks, not on single files (i.e., include every file of a notebook if it has been `toiuched´).

I agree with other comments that incremental backup is better done via syncing.
@Hahahalalala: How much is `a lot of notes´? Of course, CPU time scales with text amount on a page, but this increase should not be noticeable.

@acadoid, thank you. I've done as suggested and moved the notebooks to my external sd card so I can use my file sync program (freefilesync) to sync all files to my pc regularly.

Dear dev
First of, ur app is amazing. Anyway, i just wanna to give a few suggestion, first is about input zone. My friend use ipad and the notability app, it also has a kind of input zone, and it is super convenient to use. Its like combining ur input zone with auto scroll. I thonk its more convenient than the button u currently have (one thing is the down button is weirdly palce as my hand will almost hit it every time i start to write). So i figure if u looking for a more suitable input zone, u might wanna look up at their layout. Second, and a minor point, is the whole interface things. It would be great if u can make it look more artistic (not that i'm any good in that), but i figure a more flat style (like metro) is an easy way to implement and cool at the same time.
Anyway, I enjoy using ur app a lot and use it at work everyday, very useful. Thanks for it. Keep up ur good work.

@dlorpatt: LectureNotes' input zone comes with two methods of auto-movementl, timer-induced and position-controlled.

You referred to `metro´ as an example, is that an Android app?

 

[Kumabjorn]

Metro is a reference to Windows 8 UI.

I simply could not figure out how to work the position controlled version. I see that when I move along the input area to the right a blue box appears on the left side of the input area. If I reach back to touch the new blue area the focus skips ahead but there is now a mark where I touched the blue area. I don't think this is how it should work but haven't figured it out.

BTW: Typo alert: LN popped up on my screen asking me if it was, "Driving me cracy". I think you mean crazy, and, no, it is a very nice program.

 

[werpnst8]

@acadoid, have you considered adding a split screen feature similar to the feature in MS word to allow you to work in two sections of the same notebook without scrolling back and forth. I read and mark up a lot of papers where the results are at the end and this seems like it would be handy . Thanks

I should've said something like this first. I am also dont know how the position control works, though i tried. Also, the button around input zone is more of an obstacle than convenient (maybe just me). Thanks dev team.

Well, I have a 3 hour lecture based night class. The professor talks the ENTIRE time. It usually only happens there! It is very annoying, anyway to fix it?
