What are you trying to resize? And on what kind of device?

Thanks. If you can post it here I can put it into the queue to solve. github.com/daledesilva/obsidian_ink/issues/new/choose

Will do, but at least a few months away. github.com/daledesilva/obsidian_ink/issues/43

Thanks! If you click through the onboarding tips to the end, they won’t appear again. When it goes to code mode, if you click out of that code section it should show the handwriting again. Does it? It should still be saved and show your writing again. Let me know if it’s not. I intend to prevent it ever going into code more but I’m still figuring it out. Yep, I’ve considered manual dragging of the frame instead of auto expanding lines. I’ll probably support both eventually.

@@DesignDebtClub i tend to hand write faster maybe thats the problem. when it goes to code mode the apple pencils turns into scribble mode just writes text on the codes. so its messes everything. you have to manual go into the code find out where apple pencil added the text and remove them. i don't really know how to do ctrl z on ipad when its not connected to the keyboard. i will try to turn off scribble mode and see if that fixes anything. thank you for responding.

I don't think its plugin problem though its more of obsidian and ipad problem.

@@mohamedkelif9556 oh, yeah, that’d be annoying. Sounds like, though, if I can prevent it ever switching to code, that would fix the problem for you. It’s probably switching to code by part of your palm activating the markdown document and placing the cursor. Anyway, I’ll work toward improving it!

@@DesignDebtClub updating you. I turn off the scribble mode from my iPad and boom it’s worked. I was even aggressive with it writing. No need to fix anything. Just probably for newer people maybe add it to welcome notice that they need to turn off the scribble mode. I can’t wait what you come up with next. Looking forward to different colored pens, highlights options and grid feature. Thanks you so much for engaging with us and considering our feedback. 🙏🏾

I just updated it, but you may have downloaded it just before I did. Please try again with version 0.2.1 and let me know how you go.

What I do next (or simultaneously) is the “Project Browser” plugin 🤣 But lots to do on Ink too!

What part you’re referring to?

​@@DesignDebtClubin the handwrite part there is the possibility of pasting a text, but when I lock the handwrite section what has been written/pasted appears with a font that I cannot change and different from the one I have on obsidian

@bloody_1488 oh, I didn’t realise it was possible to paste text. It shouldn’t be. I’ll disable that. I’d recommend not using it. Use normal obsidian text outside the section instead.

@@DesignDebtClub I actually find the possibility of adding text in the handwrite part very convenient, for example to quickly make small diagrams between one paragraph and another without adding other plugins. In fact I thought it was an intentional function, the only problem was I couldn't change the font ahaha

@bloody_1488 in the settings, you can turn on drawings. It won’t let you add text but it will let you quickly draw something. Then in your markdown file, add a handwriting section, then a drawing section, then a handwriting section. The beauty of this is as you add more to each section it pushes the others down automatically.

Sure can. We’ll get there!

Yes to the first one. It’s on the list of things to do. I doubt I’ll ever do back links though. There are a lot of things that are higher priority to develop in the plug-in. And I feel that would introduce complexity that goes against what the plugin facilitates. but i'm open to considering it down the line.

@@DesignDebtClub Good work on the plugin so far tho. Appreciate it

@@DesignDebtClub searchability/OCR would be huge! I love how onenote has this. Have you looked at obsidian_ocr?

Thanks. Would love to know what kind of device you’re on, and what kind of stylus. “Not usable” sounds like you’re having unusual performance issues that I’d like to learn more about.

@@DesignDebtClub it's not about performance issues. I am on ipad 11 pro 2018. It's just not comparable to apps like notability, good notes etc in the quality of writing. The thickness of the lines is too thick and it doesn't write as well as them. I should be able to adjust the thickness levels and the writing should be like writing on papee. My goals is to find an app to do all my notes on but there isn't really one that you can both do handwritten notes and the stuff you can do on obsidian - I say unusable for my use case. Recently notability deletes all my notes and it's been a nightmare. Your plugin is great but I don't know if it's feasible from a dev point of view to bake in the best features those apps have for a plugon in Obsidian.

imagine handwriting on e-ink and it auto syncs to your vault

It’s just for Obsidian. Obsidian is on Android, but remarkable doesn’t use Android unfortunately (I don’t believe).

This warms my heart ☺️

@@DesignDebtClub 💜 Will be awesome if you manage to implement native stylus erasing, I am experiencing a bit of friction getting used to the erase button. I imagine it isn't very straightforward considering the different platforms (SPen button, Apple Pencil double-tap, etc). I did get the new iPad Pro with the squeeze function on the Apple Pencil (Pro, urgh), so I hope you can do some stuff with it !

@@Arc.M I’ve done some googling on this and it looks like no one knows how to do it. I’ll still do some experimentation, however I suspect that it will require the Obsidian team to capture the double tap or squeeze events and allow plugin devs to bind to them.

I’ve created this here for others to discuss and help: github.com/daledesilva/obsidian_ink/issues/42

@@DesignDebtClub Nice! Thank you I hadn't noticed before, but the Pencil Squeeze action actually does already bring up small menu with Undo/Redo buttons in Obsidian on iPad Pro M4, which is a start! Very useful for me since I don't own the overpriced Magic Keyboard and can't cmd+Z to undo text 😅 However, currently this menu doesn't work inside the Ink section (of course, Ink does already have its own undo/redo buttons), in this case tapping "undo" from the Pen Menu would go back to before Ink Section was created, even if there content was added to Ink section after adding it in the first place.

I believe handwritten notes works with pdfs? And creates new odds that you draw/write on. Whereas this plugin allows you to embed sections of writing inside existing markdown files. Not sure how well it works with your Huion. Please try it and update us!

I agree. I am using a samsung tablet with an s pen as well. There is a bit of delay when writing, and sometimes it won't properly register some strokes especially when the writing section expands. Turning off S Pen to text in the settings seem to have improved the experience a bit. However, I have to slow down when I write in order to have a decent penmanship. Nonetheless, this is a good start for the plugin!

Thank you both! I've just created this issue. If you can both post a little more detail there it would be very helpful! github.com/daledesilva/obsidian_ink/issues/41

I just tried it. Works great 👍 Will use it at work&client meetings this week. Where could I feedback, report things to you?

That would be great :) github.com/daledesilva/obsidian_ink Click on the issues tab

At the moment there isn’t a direct ability (it’s coming). But you can click after a section and then just backspace until it shows the embed code and then delete the embed code

It’s launched. Search Dale de Silva in the community plugins :)

Me too! That should be in the next update :)

Indeed I do. But it’s a bit lower priority compared to other more basic functionality.

Thanks so much for watching the vids! I’m chuffed you find them interesting more generally ☺️

I feel you on this! I came from OneNote too.

Absolutely 👍🏽 But everything’s a process.

Yep. But focussing on the basics first.
