  1. 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.

  2. 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)

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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…

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. Turning the highlighter marks into pen colors (this will obscure the text, which is what I need) allows me to temporarily hide the key word and turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions that I can memorize

  11. When adding (pasting) pages to a existed document, it would be great if the width of the added page is adaptive to the width of the existing pages if all pages of the document are of the same size. If not all pages are of the same size, then allow users to choose the width, e.g. existing page width (A3/A4/…), same as preceding page, etc.

  14. By adding variables (for example a date variable), the user wouldn’t have to rewrite the date ever time.

  16. when you use the select tool and use the color option, you should get the option to have multi-recolor, such that you can see each color used in the selected region and get the option to switch each color to another color manually, while also having an all - recolor option to change everything which we have now

  17. It would be great to a have a "visual graph" of the audio recordings (volume level).

    Use case:
    While listening to a recording of a long lecture\meeting you can easily navigate to parts with higher volume (speaking parts) and avoid silent ones.

  18. It would be great if one could move/drag the page higher, so that the hand would still lie on the tablet when one wants to write at the very bottom of the page.

    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.

  19. We are an engineering office and work very intensively with GoodNotes to document construction sites. For this we insert many images into prepared documentation templates. In order to ensure a uniform layout, the images currently have to be inserted manually into the placeholders. Here we would like to have a scaling function (proportional and unproportional) in which the dimensions of the image can be specified numerically.
