Notices

Colour selection seems fixed.

Check boxes look much better.

The margin on the Lines template shifts across the page every time one scrolls left or right (in screenshots, scrolling right)

By the same token, checkboxes are only visible if scrolling up or down from the opening page.

Maybe it's easier for you to set Penpen up so that left sided markings (margin, checkbox) only render vertically from the opening page ?

Users who want to use a margin might find it easier to scroll around or view the export image of a note that has only one margin, rather than multiple ones.

Thoughts, anyone ?

Thanks for your app, is there any plan to have widgets for this?
i mean like Sticky Notes, it will be nice to have small page (like Sticky Notes) where we can draw directly without need to open the program.

@dana.s ,venemo (the developer of Sticky Notes) is apparently working on such an app (see his signature for details)

@SallyJane, thanks but i couldn't find anything related, here is his signature:

Plus, I like PenPen's style, so it will be nice to heave widget for it, just a thought.

Good to have a screenshot to state the problem

The problem is related to how page scrolling work.

In landscape non-fullscreen mode , the window size is 800x350. However , scrolling will not move across the whole page. For example , if you move right , the window will only shift 770 pixel instead of 800 pixel.

Because if you move across the whole page , you will not see previous written content. The newly writing content may not be aligned with previous one. Unless it is changed to move the whole page , the problem can not be solved. (Or I should remove the red line?)

Let's me explain about how background works first. It is controlled by 4 parameters.

1) Background color
2) Background image
3) Repeat draw on x-axis
4) Repeat draw on y-axis

The lines and grid template set (3) and (4) to true , so it will draw on the whole page , you will see those lines in any direction. However , check list template only set (4) , so you won't see other checkbox on left/right direction

The reason for not set (4) is simple , I don't expect people will write extra check item in left/right direction. Do you think that it is really needed?

hmmm.. I don't have any plan to write desktop widget (may be becoz I don't really use desktop widget...). But I have started a subproject of PenPen , it is called as libpenpen, which allow other people to embed hand writing area in their application. So if anybody are interested, they could take the library to develop it.

wow , good!

@dana.s, See in the sig : "Stay tuned for Sticky Scribble Notes"

@ benlau :

Absolutely not. I'm not sure that people need the extra margin left or right either, but that is for other users to give their opinions (I thought the expanding red margin might be a bug )

Thanks for the explanations !

I'm very happy with this version

Looks good enough for release

Hi, thanks for the nice tool. If you are looking for some good ideas, there were a tool called inkwp for the Sharp Zaurus. I am missing that so much. It was developed by a japanese guy and so there is not much documentation/ information in english about that tool.
It is still out there and from the screenshot maybe you get some idea, what it ist about.

In short, you can do handwriting but it is enhanced with some kind of autozoom. So you write a little big bigger an it resize your writing to the line. This will allow you to have a better handwriting.
There is also carriage return, backspace, and space you can use within handwriting,
I am not really familiar with the buildsystem/ SDK of maemo, but there are still the Bitbakes from inkwp available:
If you want to build and try to get some inspiration. I also have a running version on my SL 5500, but not sure how to get screencap movie from that device.
Hier also a report translated by google:
Inkwp on Zaurus report

I made a very poor video of the application running on my old Zaurus so you get an idea about the application.
Would be really nice to have such functionality in PenPen running on N900.
