yes , it is buggy. I have tried to set orientation before the editor launch. It doesn't work. After tried several kind of combination, my phone become strange in orientation detection. The editor is in portrait mode by default while the I hold the phone horizontally! And then I switch back to 0.2-1 release, the problem is still the same. I need to reset the phone in order to restore the behaviour.
It will take more time to study the problem. Hope that I could get solution from Qt community.
The stuck in portrait thing IMHO is a known Maemo bug, I played around with the transitions.ini file and now it doesn't happen anymore (or at least not as frequently).

By the way , any user find that PenPen is a lot less responsive then sketch in drawing?
Nice.
Sorting by creation/modified date with date saperator labels - similar to the N900's default photo program's month/year labels - would also be great.
@benlau 'play all' button would be so awesome and would make this an app i would use if this was implementet I have Mypaint installed so the sketch thing for me is covered there
Good job so far from you... keep it up
can we have some thing like ' grouping ' and ' changing sketch place ' ? I am using penpen as a notes taking and simple mind mapping tool now .
In fact, in my original plan , what I want to implement is a handwriting task list management and a brainstorming tool (not exactly a mindmap , but have similar function) . After a full day of work, I changed the mind , make a sketch book first. As the interface is more simple , and the developed module can be reused later.
Therefore , I prefer to keep the interface of PenPen Sketch Book as simple as possible. Optimized for note taking , and then create another software (e.g PenPen Brainstormer? PenPen Tasks?) for task and mindmap.

Well, animation will be fun, but it drags several other features with it - to be able to duplicate the last note and to edit the lines (deleting and then painting anew will be probably cumbersome). But if you decide to give it a go, you have my vote too.
Then I will be waiting for PenPen Brainstormer then .
Is it possible to add a tiny function of moving "sketches" around to re-arrange the order in current penpen ? I am using penepn for brainstorm also , but it takes me awhile to find the right sketch for right project I am working on , so , re-arrange sketch order can be much helpful if possible .
I can say penpen is the best note taking tool I have been using on a mobile device , which has unlimited space with easier UI .
Sorry for keeping silent. Recently I am busy on another N900 application , FrontView . (More function should be added , but I gave up finally)

Unlimited canvas is very cool feature. But one function that I still feel too clumsy is panning around the sketch. When making a sketch even clicking the pan mode -icon feels too much - .
What information data does the n900 touchscreen provide? Position, pressure and the press-area size? f it provides the area size, it would be possible to do the pannin like this:
1 small size, propably fingernail or stylys -> draw
2 big size, probably fingertip -> pan
ie. panning with finger, drawing with sharp edge (you really cant draw with finger anyways)
The panning could also be done with fake multitouch: when you are pressing with one finger and then press in other place at the same time, the pressing point is interperated in between. So: if the jump of the pressure point is unrealisticly big, start panning mode.
-> panning with two fingers
