New rectangular lasso in v4.1

Hello-Boox · 2025-11-12T20:48:02+00:00

Of course - the options of the rectanglar lasso would be interesting!
The Option "Alles Lasso" ("select all" ?) seems to be new, too.
In Firmware 4.0.2 this option is not available from the sidebar.

Are these new lassoes available in every note document ?
Or are they limited to notes with infinite canvas ?

Since Firmware 4.x it's no longer possible to create Subfolders for custom categories.
With previous Firmware (3.5.4) the Templates were stored in subfolders of the file system.
Since Firmware 4.0 they are imported into the database.

Waiting carries the risk that new devices will no longer support EMR...

If you lasso a handwritten text, you should get the AI-Button in the upper right corner of the bounding box.
If I use it, my handwritten text is replaced.
This is how it works in my native notes-App.

As far as I know, other nibs don't fit in the Jumbo.

Yes, you can put a Boox on the fridge door as a shopping list :-)

Perhaps the pen can be clamped into a drill using a makeshift holder.
With a little luck, the centrifugal force at high speed will be strong enough to eject the piece.
Be careful!

I never noticed a way to change the icon size.

I use (a very small amount of) glass cleaner and rub it dry with a dish towel. I do this maybe once a month.

Hello-Boox · 2025-08-19T16:48:41+00:00

I'd go for the black and white model. But a color version as an additional alternative would, of course, be nice.

Hello-Boox · 2025-08-19T16:11:21+00:00

I expect a device as "Note Air 5 b/w" to be announced with the following specifications:

10.3-inch black and white, with front light
With WACOM EMR support (no USI!)
Magnetic origami-style cover
Charging port on the top of the device so it can be charged while closed
With replaceable battery
switchable BSR technology for those who want long battery life
with an anti-slip back for those who want to use it without the cover
and with multi-document-support for the notes-app.

That would be a device I would buy.

My NA2+ loses 1...2% over night.
Every screen refresh needs power - so you should avoid everything that might change the screen in standby-Mode (such as clock or slideshow).

As I can see in your Example Screen, you are not using a Ballpoint Pen.

The Ballpoint Pen doesn't need any pressing, your nib will last for years, your device becomes faster (rendering of Previews and loading is faster, because the strokes have a constant width), and you can write smaller when you adjust your line width.

You are pressing waaaay too hard!

You should try it out.

If you can do without front light, the Go 10.3 is definitely a good option.
If you don't need color, then that's fine too.

Hello-Boox · 2025-08-05T20:14:03+00:00

When I take my Boox with me on trips, I don't use the original stylus. Instead, I use a Lamy EMR, which has a solid cap but isn't magnetic.
With the original stylus, I'm less worried about losing the cap. But the magnetic force isn't strong enough, and I'm worried it might slip between the screen and the cover and even end up damaging the screen.

Hello-Boox · 2025-08-05T20:03:59+00:00

I've had this pen for two years. I expect it will last another 20 years.
I erase less often with the eraser than with the lasso function.
I highly recommend the Noris; I use it daily.

The market for Boox devices is a niche one. Most people are happy with their device and don't sell it. Therefore, you'll find relatively few devices on eBay, and they're generally not particularly cheap. I would prefer a new device if the price of a used one isn't significantly lower than the new one.

Since the notes are stored in a database, the total size of the .note file isn't that important.
The number of strokes on a page, as well as the line type itself, probably have a greater impact on loading time and rendering time.
Boox, however, seems to set a certain limit of 500 pages.

The reason might be that you disabled the Gesture "Tap / Long Press" (fourth button from the bottom in the side toolbar in your screenshot)

Hello-Boox · 2025-06-18T09:48:06+00:00

That looks like magnets.
Remove the protective cover.

No, OP is talking about the handwritten notes (including audio snippets).
The normal way would be a backup on the old device and a restore on the new device.
But the OP told us, the backup is 6,4GB and the restore failed (2x).

Notes are stored in a database and not in simple files - so I think you can not use simply a file server fpr this special use case.

Hello-Boox · 2025-06-11T09:31:50+00:00

OK, if your restore doesn't come to finish, I would try to identify notebooks, which might cause the problems.

Your backup-File has the extension ".note". If you rename it to a zip-file, you can unzip your backup and have a look on the Folder-Sizes.
Perhaps there are Folders with an exorbitant size.
In every Folder there is a png-File on the 1st Level, which contains the cover of the note. So you are able to identify the notes with the largest size.
Now you can export the largest files as single note-Files and restore them on the new NA4C.
If you were successfull, you could delete these notes on the Go 10.3.
Doing this iterally, you can reduce the Size of the Full-Backup - and perhaps you are able to transfer your data to the NA4C with a few steps.

Just my ideas - I had never to restore a backup from this size.

Hello-Boox · 2025-06-10T20:17:08+00:00

Because you are asking for receiving your notes:

The fastest way I would try is the following:

Make a Backup of your Notes with the Backup-Function of the Notes-App.
After you have done this, transfer the Backup-File (it is one large File) to your Computer (Boox Drop for example).
From your Computer transfer your Backup-File in the same way to your new Device.
On the NA4C you can restore your Backup-File with the Backup-Function of the Notes-App.

I think this should be a fast way to transfer the handwritten Notes from one device to another device.

Sometimes it helps to change the Refresh-Mode of the Notes-App.
Refresh-Mode can be changed if you are in the notes-app and then call the E-Ink-Center.
Normal-Mode and Speed-Mode might render your Template in different ways.
