  1. Math Type Cut and Paste

    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. Ability to set the default line thickness on pens

    This is something that is requested in every edition - it was added as a SMART setting for the boards with different pens but the MX series or the 24 version of SMART notebook still does not have any user customizable settings for default pen line width. We still have to click pen, line size dropdown, smallest option, EVERY TIME we change colors. It's infuriating!

  3. Editable Full Screen Toolbar

    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.

    Optimize screenshot tool
    It would be very nice if the screenshot tool could be improved. I use this tool for almost every page and I find that it works unnecessarily cumbersome. Firstly, I find the pull-down menu for selecting the destination inconvenient. Could this be omitted? Just show all destinations after taking the screenshot without the intervention of the pull-down menu. Secondly, I also find it very annoying that the created screenshot is imported much larger than the original size. Could it be adjusted so that the imported screenshot is 1:1 the same as the original size?

  6. Bequemlichkeit

    Es fehlen viele, eigentlich normale Bequemlichkeitsfunktionen bei der Bedienung von Notebook auf dem PC.
    - Ich möchte mit zwei Fingern auf dem Touchpad ein- und auszoomen können. - - Ich möchte mit zwei Fingern nicht nur nach oben und unten, sondern auch nach links und rechts scrollen können.
    - Ich möchte die Möglichkeit haben, vorher erstellte Tafelbilder an einem Raster auszurichten, damit alle Objekte sauber zueinander stehen
    - Ich möchte bei Tabellen mehrere Zellen gleichzeitig auswählen, um Schriftgröße oder ähnliches einstellen zu können
    - Ich möchte Textfelder mit einem Rahmen versehen können, für den ich nicht extra ein Rechteck zeichnen…

  9. Print full slides even with a shade!

    Notebook 22 used to allow you to print a full slide even if it had a shade on it. Now you have to remove the shade in order to get what you had under it to print.

  10. Wacom graphic pen not working anymore!

    The latest version (25.0) don't allow me to use my Wacom pen as... a pen! It's no longer compatible, so I can't use the whiteboard as such anymore...

    The same problem was reported almost 2 years ago and is still under review (https://smarttech.uservoice.com/forums/444595-smart-notebook/suggestions/47194142-wacom-pen-not-longer-compatible).

    Please, can someone fix it...?

    Update: The Wacom pen is working again! Yay! Maybe it was a problem of compatibility between versions (Smart Notebook / Wacom)? Anyway, problem solved itself, but maybe there is some checking to do, just in case... Thanks!

  11. Inserting video and image issues

    Issues inserting videos in Notebook 25 (no option above for v 25) using Pixabay - no video options load. Also, the picture suggestions are not accurate e.g. when searching for 'the water cycle' images of a bike appear.

  12. math tools

    Please include the math tools in newer versions. I don't understand why they are no longer included. The last version with math tools was 22. These tools are why I continue to use this software. It is frustrating/time consuming to have to open everything first in the new version and then using VIEW in open in the older version (with the math tools).

  15. Please Bring Back the Original Icon for a SMART Notebook File!

    For SMART Notebook 25 when I save a SMART Notebook File from SMART Notebook to my Desktop the Icon (Visual) is not a Blue Paper with White Horizontal Lines, Instead it looks like the Icon for SMART Notebook and I can't stand having multiple SMART Notebook Files that have the Same Icon as the Software Itself. So Please bring Back the Original Icon for a SMART Notebook file.

  16. It would be useful to change the background of all the slides together, rather than one at a time. A masterslide like you get in Powerpoint

  17. it would be EXTREMELY nice if smartnotebook 24 could still play nice with mathtype like v22 did.

    In Notebook 22.0, I used to be able to drag and drop math expressions from Math Type. I'm not sure why this doesn't work anymore with version 24. I would pay money for this functionality to return if possible, as the built in equation editor is just not as robust as the one in mathtype software.

  18. Bring back one-dimensional stretching of images

    Until the latest update, it was possible to stretch images in SMART Notebook horizontally or vertically only, but this ability disappeared in the new version. I've used horizontal image stretching for years, to illustrate how the unique tissue which lines the urinary bladder distorts without tearing as the bladder distends and empties in my A&P I lectures. I'm sure that one-dimensional stretching has applications for other courses' visual demonstrations too. Any chance that such a one-way-only resizing option can be restored? Losing it kind of spoiled one of my best tricks with my Anatomy I displays.
