Hi,

The works toward 0.3 release is almost completed. One of the newly introduced feature is image background. You could load an image from the mobile as the background , or use the predefined template. Three kind of templates are available:

1) Graph Lines


2) Grid


3) Check Box


However, I am not sure do the template suitable for your need. (e.g Would it be too small for checkbox? and the line spacing is too thin or ...?) Moreover , I don't know the correct name of the template , it is great if somebody can suggest for a better name.

So before official release the software , I would like to hear user's comment on the template and the changes of UI. Do anybody interested to test the software? Ofcoz , it is always welcome to submit a new template

I didn't uploaded to extras-devel , I just push the binary in my dropbox account. You could find at:

Thanks

Looks good. This app is looking better with each update
Haven't tried the new one yet but I'm assuming it's possible to change/remove templates without having the writings removed? Also, are the templates exported along with the writing?

I'm currently using the version in Extras and I noticed a bug with the way the eraser works. Frequently, for small lines/dots, the eraser has troubles erasing them. The bug can be repeated by simply drawing dots/small lines and attempting to erase them.

Thanks

Both of the answer is yes , it won't remove writing for changing templates. The template is also exported togather with the writing. However, only the written area is exported instead of the whole page. I am thinking about how to handle the problem.

The problem should be already fixed in this release.

Looks good !

Some comments :

The 'Graph lines' template only renders for the first page. After that, scrolling in any direction shows a blank background.

The Grid background, in black lines, might be easier on the eye if the lines were rather blue, as the graph lines are

When selecting a template, the Color field under the Preview image offers the possibilty to select a colour, but the background remains white when returning to the sketch.

It might be an idea to include a blank template with the lines and grids, in case a user wants to revert to blank.

Thanks for including Fullscreen option

Instead of blue, I think a lighter shade of black/gray would suffice. Maybe some added transparency to the grid and graph lines will be good.

Or allow the user to choose their own colour for the lines/grids as well...

But for now, agree with unkno, pleas lighten the grid a touch !

*edit*

more detail on the select colour background bug :

Select new sketch and background eg graph lines.

Select Color from the field below the Preview image.

Click OK...back in the sketch, the background is still white, and remains so if you scroll up or down.

But if you scroll left or right, the background correctly displays the colour chosen (minus graph lines).


P.S. as far as naming the templates, suggest Lines rather than Graph Lines.

Oh, and the check boxes do seem a little small, try increasing the size of each box by half again.

Is it blank even scroll in up/down direction?

hmmm... now I tried to set a color in light blue , please comment it.

good and done.

There have a clear button to remove image. Do it enough?

Or allow the user to choose their own colour for the lines/grids as well...
Then the interface will be much more complicated...

By the way , no any comment on the check box template and line spacing?

Anyway , a new version is uploaded at (only changed the template)

Thanks ! That works well !

See my edited comments above about the check boxes.

The line spacing is fine.

Setting the colour background now works.

Then the interface will be much more complicated...
Sure ! It was just a suggestion. But I don't want this lovely app to become needlessly complicated

Thanks for the comment from SallyJane and unkno!

A new version is available at (r77):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2152786/penp...3r77_armel.deb

Changes:
- Increased the size of check box and added extra spacing between check box
- Graph line => Lines , and set repeat on x-axis.
- Minor bug fix on background selection.

If it is fine , I will release an official 0.3 release.

Thanks again!
