Drag and Drop help - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

When using multi window can you drag an image from the net or gallery into s-note or other apps? My Note 3 has the option for this on the diving line but I do not see anything on the note 8.0 (running 4.2.2).
Thanks

s memo and old notes

Is there any way to get an app like s memo back? I'm feeling that the new S note is too bloated and an overall hassle to even open a new clean page.
If not, is there any way to retrieve and view my old notes from my Note 1?
Not sure if this will help you or not but this is what I do. Settings> spen> check "open pop up note". This is a memo note and you can expand it if you need to.
How do I move all my snotes from my note to note 2
You can "share" the note from your Note 1 via SMS or save it to the SD. It will save it as a JPEG. Then you can drop it into a new Note on the Note 2, and you'll be able to draw on it like you would a picture, but you wouldn't be able to erase or directly edit it. Better than nothing.
If you Double Tap the S pen with the button on the screen it will open Memos as a floating window like it did on the Note 1. If you expand it it will open in Notes.

Ah, I do have all my notes saved on my SD card, but... they aren't jpegs
Try sending your old notes WiFi Direct, maybe that would work, I'd try it.

Popup Dialer for Note 2

Anyone know if this is possible or if there is an app out on the Market for this?
I would like to be able to call up a Popup Dialer in the Note 2, similar to calling up a Popup S-Note with the S-Pen. I suppose I've had more than a few instances where I was reading something that contained a phone number that wasn't clickable and wish I could either keep that note open in a small window while I switch to the dialer, or else if I could just call up a mini dialer in a popup window so that I could dial the number as I was reading it.
I don't think the dialer is available in multiwindow mode, unless maybe you apply a MOD to have ALL apps available for window mode.
TIA
Great Idea! Might want to submit that to Samsung.
or dialer widget?

xperiacle has done this by adopting a tablet ui for the galaxy note 1.
Here is the link. Check out the second video in the OP "TW - Tableui" I would love to see some of this capability on GN2!

You could just use multi window. Works fine for me.

this looks really cool, so is any of it available for Note 2?
use multiwindow... or dialer widget and popup widget apps to make the widget popup when you hit a shortcut on screen.. to activate (without needing to go back to a home screen) you can use whatever you want.. wave launcher, dock4droid..etc.. or even just dock it in the bottom dock.

From scrapbook to gallery?

When I select an area of the screen with the S-pen lasso, I can copy the image to the scrapbook.
However, this image doesn't show up in the gallery. (When I do a whole screen capture, it does show up there).
Is there any way to make the image captured show up in some folder on the gallery?
The reason I ask is that I'd like to import these images into Papyrus, and the image importer there only allows a limited number of apps to choose the image. One of them is gallery, so if Icould make the scrap appear in the gallery, that would solve my problem. Or, maybe there is some other app that works with Papyrus. For now, the best I found is exporting the scrap to Dropbox, and then pasting from Dropbox - a bit too coomplicated...

Long press on the image you want moved in Scrapbook and this pops up...

I use the Share Via function to put them into either LectureNotes or Snote. Papyrus doesn't come up in the window. If you are not "set" in using just Papyrus I'd give LectureNotes a shot

Nice! So I have to do the following operations:
1. Laso
2. Select scrapbook for receiving the image
3. open scrapbook app
4. long click on image for save in galery
5. open papyrus
6. select image tool, galery
7. import image from Scrapbook folder.
Almost bearable... is there any shortcut one can make (I notice you have scrapbook in a window. Maybe if I had scrapbook in one window and papyrus in another?)
I guess best is if Papyrus would accept scraps...

I use lecture notes quite a lot. But try this: download Adam Smith's "the wealth of nations" in pdf. Then import
it into a lecturenotes note. Painful It is 786 pages.
Import into Papyrus is almost instantenous. I think Papyrus keeps it in vector form. Which also means you can zoom in and still see nicely formed characters.

Can't you "copy" from Scrapbook and "paste" in to Papyrus? Failing that, see if "clipboard" is an import option in Papyrus. That's where the image will be after you copy it from Scrapbook.

No, as far as I can see, both of these don't work. Too bad...

When I lasso an image, I can see several options for saving it. One of those is the gallery, so why not just select it instead of scrapbook?

Strange... I don't see the gallery there. You just lasso with the S-pen button, and then get the option of save to gallery?

Maybe it depends what apps you have. Perhaps instead you could take a screenshot and crop it before you save. my gallery has a folder for edited images where these go if I do it that way.
Put ur image into Google drive, then import from there

Saving to Gallery isn't an option for me either.
Old note app
After reading all of these posts I am wondering if anyone has used the old note 10.1. I used my old note 10.1 for school. It worked very well but the digitizer broke and I upgraded to a 2014 version. It is a total disappointment. In the previous version when I last lasso'd something like an equation from a textbook all I had to do was wait a few seconds and the lasso'd image disappeared and saved directly to the clipboard. Then I could just go to lecture notes click Import image and it would be saved right there in the gallery. Why have I lost functionality with a newer tablet? Will a root fix this? Can I use the old note app and settings on my tablet? S note itself is garbage but the pin is awesome when it actually works. It just seems this Samsung is unlearning how to make tablets. All I want to do is lasso an image and have it saved directly to the clipboard.
@sendeth: The `lassoed´ material should show up when you select `Paste from non-standard clipboard´ in LectureNotes' `cutter´ menu.
?
First, I don't see that option anywhere. Second, pretty sure that won't matter since my issue is with saving, not pasting or recovering. To reiterate, this is something the old note did automatically.
Edit: I found the menu option. I will experiment with it. Still much clunkier than my old note.

[Q] How to open Moon Reader + Polaris Office Document side by side in multi-window?

This seemed to work find on the older version of the tablet. How do I open a textbook and a word document at the same time? Sharing half the screne. Thanks!

If you're rooted, you can install multi window manager
I do this quite frequently...Make sure Moon Reader pro and polaris are available in the side bar where you select the apps you want to open. Drag one instance of each app to the main screen so both apps are open (if thats doesnt work, be sure multi-window is enabled in your settings). Then use Moon Readers file browser to open your textbook.

Does anyone know how multiwindow works?

My multiwindow seems to be highly variable on how it will complete actions. Sometimes if I have an app like lecture notes open and pull out the drawer to the right and select chrome, it will open chrome as the side by side window. Other times it will give me an option to have chrome as a floating window above other apps. There are also times when I'll have both windows occupied with lecture notes and myscript calculator and selecting chrome will give me a floating window, but sometimes it will replace one of the two side-by-side apps. It seems really inconsistent and is quite frustrating. Does anyone know how the app determines how a new multi app will be opened? Thanks
If you tap the icon (as long as it's an app that can pop up) it opens it floating. If it can't it'll open side by side. If you drag it out it'll open side by side
