Holy monkey. Every single day since February I've had a new reason to love this phone.

works very well, thank you very much. I've tested it on a variety of documents and some more complex things like ID cards and RFID badges, all which work great. excellent work, my friend!
edit: as others have suggested, a pdf export feature would be absolutely thrilling... my productivity would skyrocket, and I'd actually consider paying money for an application like that

You should definitely add a pdf export feature, multipage, and your app would be pure gold
If you need a "multipage" document then gzip/tar a bunch of jpg/png, and view it using cbrpager

But anyway, back to FrontView. The "chose paper area" (the movable green area thingy) option does not work for me. I choose my selected area, press scan, and it only scans the area that it chose automatically before that.
For some unknown reason, it DOES work sometimes, which is just sad. Any ideas?
@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...)

But I always put photos on the SD card so the ability to use other folders than in the internal memory is important for me. I'll be checking for another release with this.
