Hmmmm I disagree. I have pressure sensitivity shut down already at the start. I find my handwriting much better to read with it turned off. The main benefit for me is that Xournal can detect shapes I make. It is very handy when it comes to drawing electrical circuits or drawing a diagram or something. For that reason I also suggested the 'shape' library in one of earlier e-mails. Further HTC is proberbly going to release a tablet with a stylus. http://www.bgr.com/2011/07/26/htc-puccini-the-companys-first-10-inch-tablet-uncovered/. I heard there were plans on porting xournal to Android... Any progress on that part? At the moment I started to reading the developer guide of android because I got myself a new mobile with android and want to make a app for my university. 2011/7/13 Felix Breuer <fe...@fb...> > Yes, cross-platform compatibility is a major problem. > > Unfortunately, digital ink is a second class citizen in all browsers and > all operating systems.
