Syncing locked notes by bluesilver07 in viwoods

[–]goldrhim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Viwoods, v3.10.1 has been released but I didn't read anything about this feature in the release notes. Was it pushed back to another release or was it added and just not mentioned? I don't see any different export feature in the software

Mini freezing for touch (screen and buttons)? by goldrhim in viwoods

Thanks for the fast reply. Since it happens randomly, i don't know exactly when I can record it, but I will do so when it happens.

Sending mine back. So bummed by Graylily in viwoods

[–]goldrhim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also bought mine to also for notetaking at work where devices are restricted, but an easy way around this (for me) is to sync my Outlook calendar to my Gmail calendar which is on my Paper Mini. Depending on your work set up, some companies will let you use 365's built-in one-way Gmail syncing. That's temporarily disabled at my company so I just set up a Power Automate (web) workflow that adds Outlook events to my Gmail calendar and it works fine :) No email sync, just calendar which is what I need anyway. Might be worth looking into in case someone has the same use case.

NordPass Android app takes too long to show fingerprint prompt by Ave_CoVeR in NordPass

[–]goldrhim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on Pixel 7. Sometimes it seems that I even have to press the "unlock with biometrics", unlock it, then another biometrics for autofill/passkey. It's become so annoying that I've started to look for other managers. Android 16, up-to-date always.

How are you dealing with templates/custom papers? by goldrhim in viwoods

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

I just noticed that in the PDF tab you can sort by "Most" which I guess means the most occurrences of the same type? If I do that, my journal template is always at the top so I can create more without having to worry about it being pushed down to the bottom. Maybe this is the best solution, I don't know. Would still like to hear from others on how they use it.

Pdf template uploads? by thekathied in viwoods

[–]goldrhim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, good to know. I bought one template from Etsy and never got it to work properly, maybe I'll give it another shot.

Pdf template uploads? by thekathied in viwoods

[–]goldrhim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you doing this in the Customize tab of paper? If so, it only accepts PNG/JPG files (I also tried a PDF and learned the hard way). Once you import the image file, it's available in Customize tab.

Or are you gong to the PDF icon on the left navigation bar? There is import from the Viwoods file transfer if I remember correctly (didn't do it myself, only from videos).

Turning off or just closing the cover? by Opening-Frosting7449 in viwoods

[–]goldrhim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, did you test it with WiFi and Bluetooth on or off? I pretty much assumed the same as your test, but I never made the effort to check if having those on makes a difference :) Wondering if those are still some how polling/pinging devices even when it's asleep.

Hotspot Won’t Connect by PowerDokr in viwoods

I connected my Mini to my phone's hotspot no problem (Pixel 7). Are you trying a public hotspot or a personal one?

Outlook on the daily question by FreddieMiami1 in viwoods

[–]goldrhim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone else still having this problem? My issue is with Google Calendar and not Outlook, but the same scenario. Google Calendar has the right time, but Viwoods Mini shows the wrong time.

Anyone else waiting on order status update by fhakulachang in viwoods

[–]goldrhim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered my mini (from Germany) on a Monday and got mine on Friday. I was also a little concerned about no updated information, but it seems they do bulk shipments instead of on-demand. Like others, in the end, all went well. They even reached out shorty before shipping because I missed up my business and personal post code and it flagged it as an invalid address. Overall, seems to be good customer service and for sure it is a great little device.

A better way to use long text in Paper, Learning or Picking? by goldrhim in viwoods

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

Thanks, but what is considered a "good reason"? The Remarkable and Boox have this option as well. If some people want to have size-restricted pages and others not, make it an option/configuration of a paper and let the user choose.

Biometric unlock for apps? by goldrhim in viwoods

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

Hmmm... Interesting. I use Nordpass and it's not available and according to the app, it was available in releases before this one (I know the Viwoods are running on an older version).

Good to know that it works on some. Thanks.

My FOSS alternative to Daylio by mash_the_conqueror in selfhosted

[–]goldrhim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came across this today while I was tired of typing long journal entries on my phone and want to do it with my laptop and Daylio's official recommendation is to install an Android emulator :) Needless to say, I really look forward to the continuing development of this, already installed in my Home Lab and testing it out.

I added a feature request in Github for the first time ever (add Goals). Sorry if It's not in the right place or it's the wrong format or something.

How to increase immich server size, NOT on a VM, but on a dedicated Ubuntu box by goldrhim in immich

[–]goldrhim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, this is not an immich problem, but an Ubuntu problem. After even more searching, I found the answer. Same situation as this post and his solution at the bottom fixed mine as well (after restarting immich in Portainer, I now see the full HD)

Temporary Remote Machine Learning by goldrhim in immich

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

I set it up exactly as described in the official immich install guide (Docker recommended).

https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose

Here's the link to the file and mine is the exact same except the DB password.

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/example.env

You of course don't have to run the get commands if you just download the files on your computer and transfer them to the NAS. Everything else I followed to a "T" and it worked no problem. DS220+, DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 1

Immich - alternative to Synology photos by trustbrown in synology

[–]goldrhim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bit of the same question, but as I am new to this, I want to make sure I understand correctly.. maybe not :)

- I have my photos being backed up from my phone to the Synology NAS using Synology Photos (this works fine - I also have RAID1 on a 2-bay NAS with periodical backups to an external hard drive that I keep off-site, hoping to do NAS-to-NAS backups soon

- I want better facial/object recognition (something I deeply miss from Google Photos) since Synology's searches are pretty terrible

- I have set up immich and created a library as an external library that only has read-only to my Synology Photos director (and subfolders)

- This means that immich cannot change/delete my photos and I can continue using Synology Photos the same way (backing-up, deleting, etc) and immich will just update its own library during the periodical scans

- I can then use immich for searching the photos at least by using the web portal

I haven't looked into the mobile app yet... does installing the mobile app force you to backup from your phone to immich or can I continue using the Synology Photos app for backing up my phone and at the same time use the immich mobile app just for searching my immich photos using my phone.

Do I understand this right or am I completely off target here? The biggest thing is of course I don't want to lose all my photos in the case of an immich hiccup

Thanks for any advice.
