  3. I always use goodnotes in math class. If I use a ruler as an image and then want to rotate it, the scale changes. this is very bad for a ruler. it would be a very good improvement of goodnotes if i could fix graphics so that the scaling no longer changes when you rotate them.

  5. It would be great, and useful for my organisation, if we could change the colours of files instead of having them all blue!

  8. With the recent update bringing the welcome change of more than 3 colors in the toolbar, and then the return of the 3 pen widths, the toolbar has become more crammed on the right side.

    There is some unused space on the left side of the toolbar, and now would be a great time to make use of that space for when the iPad is in horizontal mode and has more than enough space to accommodate all the regular icons

  10. On both the iPhone and iPad, when I scan a document (not necessarily multiple) and click "Save", it takes too long to import the document/s I scanned. Sometimes the time it takes exceeds a minute. I hope you release an update to expedite the importing time because when I scan documents with Apple Notes, it saves them instantly.

  11. I'm using the letters of the presentation well when I study them or as a scribe, but I want to adjust the size of the letters and the time when the letters disappear.

  12. It would be very useful to be able to temporarily hide folders or documents.
    When in school or in Uni we often have a lot of different subjects, thus it would be handy to be able to hide the ones that are currently not used to make the "document" page more organized without having to permanently delete the unused documents.

  13. Would be great to be able to choose different types of strokes (discontinuous), to have wider pens (more than 2mm), and measurements ( a ruler so, if we want to print, know previously the scale)

  14. It would be useful, once a single recording is selected, to be able to show only that single audio in the toolbar and not all the recordings glued together, because the more recordings one has, the harder it becomes to navigate them with precision and accuracy.

  15. So if someone has set up a database like DevonThink or their own folder hierarchy, they cannot save a GoodNotes file there. This is an extremely significant disadvantage for the workflow. Additionally, there are no deeplinks for individual documents or folders, which hinders the workflow when working with mind maps or similar tools.

    I kindly request that GoodNotes improve in terms of deeplinking and individual saving.

  16. I love GoodNotes and have been using it for several years. I also use GoodNotes for workshops and presentations. Therefore, I've got many large PDF's in the database.

    My problem is, that the GoodNotes database (synchronized with iCloud) already has more than 26 GB. This fills up both my iPad and my Mac.

    I'd love the functionality to be able to view and sort all files by size (without folders), check the largest files, and delete them in a bulk action. This would really help!

    I assume that other passionate GoodNotes users have the same problem.

    Thank you,

    Stefan

  17. I often use the automatic snap/straighten feature to straighten lines and attach them to circles.

    However I get mad every time because the snap feature attaches the line at odd positions on the circles. I would expect lines to be attached at points distanced by 30 or 45 degrees.

    What happens is that every time I have to edit manually the attach position of the line.

    You can see from the image and the short video that the straight line is tilted.

    Can this issue be fixed?

    I also attach the same example with two rectangles: there is no issue…

  19. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image directly from clipboard without saving it to photos which will not create junks in the photos. A pretty small idea but an efficient one

  20. In the experimental feature you can’t scroll through a view of the cards like you can with notebook and other cards making it hard to edit and use
