Fedmahn Kassad,

I like Inkwp! It is a great design. In fact it is time to think about what is next for PenPen. The idea in my mind includes handing writing task manager and document writer (InkWp style).

*If* I decided to make a document writer in InkWp style , it should support both of text and hand writing notes. Desktop writer will also be available , so that you could sync the doc through DropN900 , and edit on desktop. (Write draft on phone , and create final version on desktop)

The decision will made after FrontView 0.2 released.

Hello,

thanks for penpen! I love the application, it's very useful.

I would like to know if there is a hidden directory used to store the sketches? Instead of exporting every sketch as png, I consider using a file-sync tool to transfer the sketches to my pc.

Greetings!

It is saved in
/home/user/.local/share/data/penpen/sketch.db

Some days ago I run out of paper to write math exercises after my engineering lessons...
I didn't know where to write, but then I remembered to have pen pen installed on my n900, so I thought: let's give it a try!

Now I'm using it for 5 days and I'm really loving it!!
After hours and hours of sketching, I wrote some suggestions about something you could improve

1) Import sketch from png: the first time I used penpen I wrote something like 10 pages of math exercizes. I couldn't find "save" in the main menu, so i exported it as png file. I didn't know that if you tap on backspace it automatically save your sketch in a db
So, now I can't edit it any more!

2) The toolbar: I think that just two arrows on the toolbar should be fine. I only use ↓ and → to increase the workspace. Then is much more easy to use the move button.

3) The colour selector: this app is made to take sketch very quickly, but the colour selector is very slow! I think it would be very faster if you could open a palette of default colors (that you can edit with the actual color selector).

4) Tools: it would be great if you could add a tools button on the toolbar that allows you to insert simple geometric shapes like circles, rectangles, lines and arrows or plain text (with the keyboard).

5) Shape recognition: another very useful feature could be the shape recognition! I think there are a lot of algorithm you could use

This is one of my exercise sheet:

Thank you for your work

ha... Becoz I hate "save" in mobile app , so It is designed to save automatically. (But undo is not implemented yet)

Although It can't import from png , you could change the background to that png. Then you could draw again on it and export again.

Menu -> Background -> From Device

2) The toolbar: I think that just two arrows on the toolbar should be fine. I only use ↓ and → to increase the workspace. Then is much more easy to use the move button.

I got same request from other people too.


4) Tools: it would be great if you could add a tools button on the toolbar that allows you to insert simple geometric shapes like circles, rectangles, lines and arrows or plain text (with the keyboard).

Shape recognition? Something like draw a circle manually , then correct to a prefect circle?

Nice idea and implementation, but the 3.5" screen is way too small for math with my handwriting. I can barely fit two lines in 2 screens
Something simple I wrote:

Benlau.. I want to say I am also a big fan of your app... I use it almost in most meeting to jot down quickly, then use this as reference to send minutes.. even to track wife's grocery list Thank you very much... sorry for being months late in wishing after using ur app..

in resistive screens, the n900 is best.. I hate the current capacitve screen except for casual surfing

Is it possible you can release a new version with features ale152 had listed. . plus many more.. we all wait eagerly..

trust me with CSSU firmware update.. My N900 is gettin younger

Thanks in advance

The undo (ctrl+z) is another feature that would be very useful!

Although It can't import from png , you could change the background to that png. Then you could draw again on it and export again.

Menu -> Background -> From Device
But, if I set my previous png as bg, that already have a bg, then I loose the previous bg for the next pages...

Exactly
Adobe Flash has that feature.

It is very very amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a small flip book would be awesome i used an online flash one on the N900 before but would be so much better as an app. simple onion skinning would be a nice addition to that. anyway im gonna check out this app now thanks in advance.
