Notices

I just saw that on youtube! It's really weird.. maybe there's some code that you need to enter/update to kind of "match" the new firmware rotation? dunno

I've filed a bug, number #6203, we'll see

Package 21 is in Extras Testing, go vote for it!


These are, btw, the changes in this version:

* Fix for a small issue when trying to overwrite existing files (only a notification was appearing, not a dialog asking for Yes/No).

* Sports Share via Services (thanks to Qwerty for figuring this out)

* Few more keyboard bindings (arrow keys and arrow keys + CTRL modifier)

I checked this out on the N900... Here are my thoughts:
- keyboard panning is a good idea, but the offset seems arbitrary, and also far too small to be useful (where useful means >= as fast as using the pan button). My suggestion would be to have it pan vertically by lines (when on lined paper), and something more sensible horizontally (e.g. maybe the length of an average word or two). Also, I would recommend mapping wasd to the same functions (for left/right-handed use), and making right/d at the edge of the page act as carriage return (and possibly left/a at the left edge do the opposite?).
I think this would be more usable than just incremental panning with the arrow keys, as it would allow the user to page forward/backward/newline with one hand while writing with the other. This would also completely satisfy my request for something of this sort from earlier in this thread.

Does this sound doable?

If you CTRL-<arrow key> it goes at incrementes of 100 (default), without the CTRL modified it goes at increments of 10 (default).
The unit here is pixels.

The bg paper type is configurable (soon it'll be available).

Your program is incredibly useful and easy to use. I'm glad to see it moving on to the N900! If I ever buy one Xournal will be the first application that I will install.

I Agree...

Does some features like this exist in xournal:

Easily use and cycle through a predefined set of background images, to use xournal to take notes on top of a lecturers presentation slides?

Edit: Ok, I RTFM and I see functionality like this exists (with pdf annotation). Does someone use it for lecture notes?

Edit: Or would lecture-note taking better be served with some other application?

I havn't got my N900 yet but it will come this week so then I can report back how it goes with lecture notes. But I think it will be to slow when it isn't possible to make a page down on the screen. I would love to see if i write a long line up->down it would make a page down or if the hand could be configured so it could make a page down.

Anidel, This is a great item for the N900 and works pretty good on the rotation screen as well. Thanks! Just a couple of thoughts or suggestion that I do not know if you have reviewed yet. Being able to change the background of the paper such as yellow and pink and maybe a blue would also allow for sorting of notes consitant with some legal pads. Also I had a program on my E71 that was a pretty cool note taking device. I believe it was called active notes but this would allow you to put a thumbnail of a photo on your note page which would allow you to make notations around the photo and the thumbnail would link to the photo its self. Another feature that this employed was it was able to embed a recording on the page as well. Would you be able to review something like this and maybe impliment it into your program. Very nice program as it stands and thank you!
