  1. Please bring back the support for equation objects from 3rd party math type software. I use Wiris's math type software, and in previous versions of SmartNotebook I used to be able to cut and paste and equation object (windows OLE graphic) and it showed up perfectly in smartnotebook. I much prefer being able to type in LaTeX in math type and then cut and pasting equations into smartnotebook but I can no longer do that anymore.

  2. The paint bucket only works with notebook created objects. The paint bucket icon in most of the other drawing programs fills the area on any enclosed area. I use lots of banners and boxes from internet images and would like to be able to fill these areas using the paint bucket

  3. This is such a challenge when I'm teaching in full screen mode. I always want the pen on the thinnest setting but when I want to change colors it defaults back to the thicker line. I have to exit full screen mode and hten there are several clicks to fix it. This can be annoying when teaching.

  4. In SMART Notebook 25, you cannot drag a rectangle to select multiple objects on top of an imported PDF.

    Consider this...

    1. Import a PDF of a guided notes page used by students.

    2. Annotate that PDF with SMART Notebook in front of the class.

    3. Make a mistake or want to move something... With the current SMART Notebook software, you cannot drag a rectangle to select multiple objects. You would need to return to your desk and individually select the objects while holding your shift key!

    This is not ideal. SMART Tech Support have confirmed that this is not possible in Version…

  5. Please allow to set default pen thickness for RX boards, just like the old boards through Smart Settings . It is incredibly frustrating to have to manually change pen thickness each time you use a pen. I'd be curious as to why this feature was not continued on the RX boards.

In smart, theres an issue which requires the next update to be released (smart files opening chrome), I just want to give my colleages some ressurance, i'm constantly asked when the next update is, and i can't give them an answer. is there any way of giving us an approximation of when the next update will be? even if it's a month or so away.

  10. SMART Notebook is available for Windows and MacOS but only a very outdated unusable set of files is available for Linux.

    If packages compatible at least with the latest LTS release of Ubuntu (currently 24.04) were provided, then many Linux users would be able to use the software (Ubuntu is the most popular distribution of Linux overall, and long-term-support releases stay current for multiple years).

    Providing at least packages for the latest Ubuntu LTS would probably require minimal resources on SMART's side but would benefit many people using Linux as a desktop OS!

  11. I’d like to suggest an improvement to the full screen toolbar in Smart Notebook. It would be very useful if the toolbar were customizable. For example, I could add my favorite type of pen, frequently used shapes, or other tools I need for a specific lesson.

    This would save time during instruction and make the full screen mode more efficient and tailored to each teacher’s needs.

  12. Jedes einzelne Mal muss man bei einer Texteingabe die nervige Arial-Standard-Schrift anfassen und ändern, ebenso die Größe, die Farbe etc.
    bitte entweder eine personalisierte Default-Einstellung ermöglichen oder zumindest das Festlegen verschiedener Stile ermöglichen.

  13. In vorherigen Versionen ließ sich unter Ansicht in blau einen Linie anzeigen, die entweder das 16:9 Format der Seite begrenzte oder eben ein 3:2 Format. Das war EXTREM nützlich, da viele user Dateien auf privaten Geräten mit anderen Bildschirmgeometrien herstellen, als sie dann in den Schulen zum Nutzen mit den SchülerInnen zur Verfügung haben. Die Vorbereitung ins Blaue hinein ist MIST!

  14. There are some very basic features missing in this software, that almost every other software (text, graphics, etc.) provides from the start.

    • I want to be able to zoom in and out with two fingers on the touchpad.
    • I want to be able to scroll not only up and down, but also left and right with two fingers.
    • I want to be able to align previously created objects to a grid so that all objects are aligned neatly - where is the benefit of using digital boards, when everything still looks as shaky as before?
    • I want to select multiple…

  15. Es sollte wieder möglich sein, dass man in einer erzeugten Tabelle die einzelnen Spalten automatisch auf die gleiche Breite bringen kann (über den Reiter "Größe einstellen" bei Rechtsklick auf die Tabelle), so wie es in Version 22 möglich war.

  16. I'd like to be able to export and import the toolbar settings (including the pen colors etc that I like to customize) so I can easily use my configuration on multiple computers.
    In version 23 I could just copy a folder containing 3 xml files, version 25 doesn't seem to have this possibility.

  17. I teach in both French and English, and would absolutely love to be able to translate directly in Smart Notebook. Ideally, it would be possible to translate the whole file, but even one page or text selection at a time would save me a lot of work!
