I think most of the people agree that OCR will be another killer for FrontView. I am definitely interested. ah , I can see I will be extremely busy on recently few weeks (months?)

For some unknown reason, it DOES work sometimes, which is just sad. Any ideas?
Sorry , I don't have any idea about the problem. Anybody has similar problem?

@Dancairo,

Thx!

But, a fantastic application for being alpha and it has very great potential


You may draw a new line over the old stroke, if the scope is similar, the old stroke will be replaced.

In fact, it can ignore the old stroke , only those strokes form a quadrangle will be counted.

Sorry for the crash, the drawing part is not really stable. (PenPen's drawing code is based on FrontView , it have already fixed few issue , but not backported to FrontView yet)

@barzam

Unlike PenPen,which is a GPL v2 OSS, FrontView is a closed source program.

However , I am really happy to work/talk/play with a open community, so I can promise that the features available in 0.1-1 will remain free for N900 / Maemo in all future release. (Or I should say for a community maintained device? I really wonder the policy of Meego...)

Sorry for the problem, I will fix on next release!
