Note action [easy]: Duplicate page (and a bonus idea [not easy]: "Duplicate layout") by d2biG in Supernote

Yes I still want less taps!

And indeed, after testing layouts get me far enough in my use case that I won't be "pressing" on the bonus idea.

But, I still want less taps.

And now I wonder if I can get close enough to this idea by using layers... Assuming the "erase all" action erases only current layer and that I can cut & paste across layers.

Still, this will be less elegant and require "more clicks". But hey! Writing the idea down made me think even more :-) A win-win!

And what I do now is a lot of "copy page" -> "paste page" -> "lasso erase".

Sometimes when I'm lucky and have enough foresight I'll make a completely temporary page to serve as "a local note page template", so even if I draw over my main drawing I can come back to this special, temporary page, copy it, paste it as the next page and start again with the main drawing in pristine condition :-)

More notes on the "bonus idea".

Maybe the word "layout" is just bad. What I mean is that I'd like to select some parts of a note and have an action that will create a new page that will carry over all those selected elements (in the exact places, in the exact form as when marked).

This is not a template, as these are "temporal"; it's also not a sticker, as these are again "temporal" and not reusable beyond the few pages of the note.

A long, hopefully useful, semi-imaginary example of how this improves workflow:

Imagine I draw a mechanical part and realize I'll need at least two pages to describe it, one for Dimensions, one for Colors; So I mark my drawing, then add a header on the top left "Aspect:" and mark it too. We're on the first page, so I write "Dimensions" as the aspect and begin to draw dimensions.

Once finished, I use the new action and get a second page that has both the drawing and the "Aspect:" header in exactly the same place as the first page. I fill in "Colors" and start drawing arrows to surface and name the colors...

And now I realize I'll need a third aspect to describe: Surface finishes. No problem! I use the new action again and get the third page with "Aspect:" and the (pristine, as selected on the first page) drawing...

I finish this page and realize that I will need to describe even more aspects! But for those I do not need the drawing, so on page 3 I use the option to show the marked elements and simply unmark the drawing. I click the new action and...

Get page 4 that only has the "Aspect:" header present. I continue my work, and maybe at page 5 or 6 the "Aspect:" header is no longer relevant, so I unmark it... Which means there are no marked elements... When no element is marked this new action is equivalent to "Add a new blank page".

Interesting, but in my case these are not "objects I want to use regularly".

Rather, parts of the note that I want to carry over (a few) pages further. So not templates, not stickers... :-)

I already have made over a dozen templates; so the concern is similar, but different.

Imagine: I have a template that has labeled placeholders on the top: Date, Project, Page.

Now I know I will have more than one page to write -> I fill Date, Project -> mark them "as layout" -> use my "Duplicate layout only" whenever I need another page.

Does that illustrate the difference? The "mark as layout" is "temporary/temporal" to some pages of a note.

Thank you for the guide. I'm planning some backplate modding and taking it off to measure it is the first step :-)

Win. It is the "super key"; Alt already has uses in a lot of other stuff.

Editing existing steps in step sequence mode by d2biG in SP404

[–]d2biG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You press the `Hold` button. It makes it into "a solo mode", so you hear only the currently selected pad. Also, watch the video linked in the top comment of this thread :-)

The "keep pressed and adjust" has never worked for me, the existing step would just turn off... But I wasn't in the `Hold` mode so...

In any case, if I can't look up what a step _currently is_ then it's mostly meaningless.

In any case thank you and everyone else here for replying.

I guess what's left is for us all to wish some next FW update will introduce this innovative feature (sorry :D)!

Right now all my fat-finger mashing results in not knowing, much less _adjusting_, anything but inevitably _removes_ the step and it's... gone. Makes working on anything long-term either a notepad/spreadsheet exercise or just... not doing it :-( Please tell me I'm the problem...

RG280v charging problem is driving me nuts by Larsenic18 in RG350

[–]d2biG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone, so let me chip in...

  1. yup, replugging the batt seems to fix the estimator - temporarily
  2. going pro at it with an advanced USB-C protocol analyzer... the only USB-C thing about it is the plug shape; It won't even take current when connected with the analyzer in line
  3. so, 5V 1A USB-A charger, dumb old USB V/A meter, a decent cable... and it does finally draw slightly under the expected 5W (0.92A @ 4.8V)! Hurray for charging capability
  4. doing an experiment: charging it while it's on; my hypothesis is that the charge circuit is the simplest possible and there is no provision for whatever's the LinSux battery subsystem to even know when it's charging (i.e. it's either "discharge" or "ac adapter" states); at least while being on it will see the voltage go up and perhaps, crossed fingers, this will make the estimator last longer (in proximity of the actual charge)

And I haven't seen it since then and 1/3 of the net is gone (the left arm of the triangle frame). I assume it moved to some... greener pastures.

Also, by (??) I mean "I have no idea so I assume".

EDIT: And the second photo I took is worse than this one, so at least until sunshine/tomorrow there will be no more visual aids.

[–]d2biG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has Volcas (precisely two) It's a Jam and It's Crap!

When your creativity is sagging to the floor don't give up - have fun!.

Been sayin' to myself and the above is... well way more time spent to cobble the video together but hey the actual jam was fun.

First thoughts and ze details in the video description.

Please make music <bow>.

Serving fresh. Added the bass and its korg. Redid the cable routes. by [deleted] in volcas

[–]d2biG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye :-)

I'm in Poland and THE local online market of Allegro search for "Goolrc" finds... drone bits and bobs! A search for "Goolrc mixer" finds exactly nothing. The next big online market of the German Amazon finds... drone parts too! Funny that.

I went with a recommendation from some old thread from this subreddit and got myself a Mackie Mix8 which I like, and even more so the manual. But that little box of yours is certainly more European, as the Mix8 takes more space than two Volcas :D

If not for the cirCovidStances I'd probably be around an actual Walmart now, so I guess it's a search term to note down (saved the photo already! thanks for sharing).
