  2. [KR]
    Goodnotes 7.0.6 이후 두 가지 이슈로 생산성이 크게 떨어졌습니다.
    1. 모양도구 밑줄 수평 스냅: 모양도구로 밑줄을 긋더라도 자동 0°(수평) 스냅이 되지 않습니다.
    2. 도구막대 개인화: 펜/지우개/형광펜/모양도구/올가미/사진첨부를 한 줄의 동일 층위에 자유롭게 배치하고 싶은데, 업데이트 이후 일부 도구가 메인 도구막대 밖으로 빠지거나, 필기도구 묶음에 고정되어서 다른 도구와 동등하게 배치할 수 없습니다.
    요청: (a) Line의 0°/90° 스냅 또는 Underline 모드, (b) 카테고리 제약 없는 도구막대 커스터마이즈

    Since Goodnotes 7.0.6, two issues significantly reduce productivity:
    1. Shape-tool underline horizontal snap: Drawing an underline with the Shape tool no longer snaps to 0° (horizontal).
    2. Toolbar personalization: I want to place Pen/Eraser/Highlighter/Shape/Lasso/Photo…

  3. in Goodnotes 6, I noticed that when I just try to scroll slightly down to the bottom of a page it will auto snap me to the center of the next page, and vice versa when scrolling to the top part of a page. Please add a function to disable this.

  5. When importing a file, the filename gets cut.

    Example:
    Tried importing a file with a filename of "9. [PATHO] Disorders in WBC, Lymph Nodes, Spleen, Thymus", but it was cut to just "9".

    It's frustrating having to rename the files esp. when importing multiple files.

  6. We should be able to select (i.e., highlight) text from an imported PDF across multiple pages. Not being able to is very limiting.

  7. First of all, the ability to link documents, pdf’s, videos, and worksheets into documents, without them actually being in the document, so for example, you can have your math notes on the left, and your textbook on the right so you dont have to open a seperate window to look at your textbook, you can just upload it from your files, also being able to link videos in for science if there’s a video that has good ideas, also being able to make the files editable, so if i add in a worksheet i can just do that while looking…

  8. If there was a way to select autofit being on or off, that would be great! I often write really small and like to zoom in a lot. Unfortunately, when I do, the side edges of the doc are autofitted to my iPad screen, making it harder to write.

  9. It often creates unwanted pages when flipping through study PDFs or filled notebooks — not blank ones — by duplicating the first or last page unnecessarily.

  11. it would be very useful in order to quiz myself and write the hidden answers over the tape and then be able to erase them without having to reapply the tape!

  12. I always extend the height of my pages manually when i reach the end so everything stays on one page. That's why I propose an alternative to the "create new page" button when this happens.

  13. I would like the ability to open and close the masking tape feature while using pointer mode. I often want to utilize masking tape during classes and presentations while simultaneously pointing with the pointer. However, at present, it is necessary to switch from pointer mode to pen tool mode to use the masking tape, which is cumbersome. I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider this improvement.

  14. I think adding some shortcuts for the highlight tool on pc would be good. For ex, command + H for the highlight and command + S for strikeout, etc.

  15. I'm a STORYBOARD ARTIST and I REALLY LOVE GOODNOTE'S Pencil tool!
    But for a decent Workflow I need to make THUMBNAIL DRAWINGS in BLUE or RED first and then LATER INK THEM in BLACK on top.

    Therefore I would EITHER need a SELCTIVE COLOR ERASER, and/or a
    SELCTIVE COLOR LASSO..

    I then could ALTER the BUE SKETCH below , by either changing it to a different color, that'a not as visible ( a light GREY for example) OR erase /delete it ALLTOGETHER, with my BLACK Drawing intact!!

    That would be a GAME-CHANGER for my workflow and would imitate a more…

  16. How COOL would it be it you could take stokes that you had already made, and colorize them? so you wrote in white, but you want to make the stuff your pen stoke touches to be a blue color.

    I know right now the alternative is to select and then change color but for many situations this is a better user experience

    Think about it as a color fill tool.

  17. Add a feature that allows teachers to send single pages to individual students — for example, to share missed lesson notes directly in the classroom notebook, in the exact place where the original worksheet was worked on.

  18. Please simplify the current "select -> screenshot -> share -> copy" function of the selection tool to simplify copy and paste parts of PDFs. Notability has this and it's MILES better than GoodNotes implementation which takes forever to copy a section of a PDF when I'm copying problems from my lecture slides to my notes.

    This will make my, and so many students, note-taking so much easier.

  20. I think the lasso tool doesn't work properly on desktop and isn't natural to use.
    To select text is it fine, but if you want to move a shape or text you have to clic on it to select and then move it. There should be a way for it to recognize the object and move on the first clic. Also, on mac you are able to duplicate something by pressing option and dragging it somewhere else. Text options should allow us to put indexes and exponants, this would be great for math formulas and we need more options for…
