Re: [Announce] PenPen Sketch 0.1 - For quick note taking / painting
 

Nice app. great work. my daughter will love this as she like to do free drawing.
A full screen would be nice, if not auto full screen, then probably a button at bottom left to switch (like for xterm).

To much to ask for, but if a black and white drawing can be downloaded to this and we can fill colors to it.

Great app btw.

Re: [Announce] PenPen Sketch 0.1 - For quick note taking / painting
 

Just want to clarify. The full screen you mean is to hide the title bar , not include the tool bar , right?

Thx!

I would consider this feature request is similar to the request of "set background color" & "set graph lines". When I implement those features , I may add an option to choose background image from the storage. What you need is to load a black & white image to the phone first, then create a sketch that use the image as background.

Link gives error 404 every time.

If you look at the background options available in Maepad, by 'graph' paper I mean the blocked / quad squares Maepad has.

It's looking good ! Remember settings is very useful....just voted it up.

Thanks

Mmm, it's great. Only one minor hiccup though, switching from the main page to the sketch area resets rotation. You're in portrait and selecting a sketch (or vice versa) returns you to landscape and you have to turn the N900 around all over again.

Fix that and you have my vote for extras admission, though I know rotation implementation in PR1.2 is still sorta buggy. Maybe the Pen Pen sketch area can read the rotation status of the main window when it is launched and set it's own rotation accordingly - or something.

I also vote yes for lines and boxes (and also remembering settings for them for every new sketch). I usually use it as a note taking app, and the lightweight size, speed and simplicity of Pen Pen has already made me ditch Xournal.

With sort options (by date/name or even priority) it would be a killer note taking app, though I'm aware its meant to be a sketch app.

yes , it is buggy. I have tried to set orientation before the editor launch. It doesn't work. After tried several kind of combination, my phone become strange in orientation detection. The editor is in portrait mode by default while the I hold the phone horizontally! And then I switch back to 0.2-1 release, the problem is still the same. I need to reset the phone in order to restore the behaviour.

It will take more time to study the problem. Hope that I could get solution from Qt community.

ah yes , I also usually use it for note taking ;)

The sort options suggestion is good. What if I make a sort option based on "Creation date"(the one using now) and "Last modified time"?

By the way , any user find that PenPen is a lot less responsive then sketch in drawing?

Re: [Announce] PenPen Sketch 0.1 - For quick note taking / painting
 

PenPen draws polygonal lines, while Sketch draws curves. No other noticeable difference (in my humble opinion).

Re: [Announce] PenPen Sketch 0.1 - For quick note taking / painting
 

I find no difference in responsiveness

I would love that,it would be awsome! maybe also save it as a .gif orso! so you can play it on the pc! I love to play with that when you have it!
