    Hi Lori (and others who want to chime in )


    I'm trying to get a better sense of how you're using Transparent Background in the manner you describe here. Is the same thing achievable with the transparent acetate feature in SMART Ink? If you're outside of Notebook and your computer is connected to your panel, touching the pen to the screen should automatically start the acetate process. Can you expand on how you're using it to help us implement a solution that works for you?

  3. There really needs to be a setting that lets us set default pen sizes.

  4. Created a SMART notebook file with a couple of pages including interactive dice. When I shared to my students via the SLS platform my students weren't able to use the dice. It said it wasn't supported on their end.

  5. The widgets (timer, dice, pull tap, ..) are very helpful tools for the classroom. But I still miss further widgets to replace the "old" interactive flash animations especially the scoreboard, the random group generator and the random word chooser.

  7. YOU TOOK AWAY MASKING AN IMAGE?!?! You only just recently introduced this option after never having a way to crop images. Taking it away is a huge step back.

  8. The support suggestion to open version 23 first rather than opening the previous version 22 file directly is not good. It immediately breaks the version 22 file if it has any backgrounds such as lined paper and graph paper. Response from SMART Support.
    **
    I have reviewed the files you sent. I can see the issues with the arrangement of text boxes.

    The issue is likely the result of the change that was made to SMART Notebook 23's workspace. The workspace is not a strict 16:9 aspect ratio. The issue persisted for you when you tried to open the files…

  9. Provide an option for "auto-save" so you don't have to manually save before shutting down, replacing files and saving new versions, etc.

  10. Please enable an equation editor function for Smartlab activities. Currently not able to use any and this is prohibitive as Maths teachers cannot enter any maths functions. Originally Smart Response did have an equation editor and this was fantastic - but the new SR doesn't permit this which is a huge step backwards. Not practical to type up a function / equation / expression in something like word then snip it and save it and then import this as an image - that is far too clunky and time-consuming. Also the great activities in SmartLab do not have the ability…

  11. You have not come out with a version of Smart Notebook since 11. What's more, the last version of Smart Notebook 11 for Linux does not work on 64 bit distros, only 32 bit ones. 32 bit distros are being phased out. Linux users need a current version of your software, and it needs to work on 64 distros, particularly Ubuntu.

  12. I'd really like a 120 chart with flip numbers. Its a great way to teach even/odd numbers, higher and lower numbers, etc.

  13. Math Equation Editor

    It is not possible to type blank space in the Math Equation Editor, for example between number and unit/domension. Furthermore the equations look horrible in the newer version of the Math Equation Editor. Letters, numbers and characters are extemly close to each other, so it looks ugly. Please change this. I'm a teacher in Germany

  14. Dump the current equation editor. I can't even add spaces. Use WIRIS Equation editor. Much more power and lots of online tools use WIRIS now.

  15. Please add as options or default behavior. Your current options screen is minimal and could be vastly improved with more options. (Applies to version 18.1.2294.0)

    +Allow scrollbar to scroll infinitely like Microsoft Excel without needing to press extend page

    +Allow "extend page" to be a button on the tool bar, place it in the drop down menu in the "view" menu, and give it a keyboard shortcut.

    +Allow us to change and save default colors for each pen, and default pen thickness. These changes are lost on Notebook restart currently.

    +Allow to change and save default eraser thickness as well.

  17. When creating an activity in Smart lab sometimes the font is too small to be read if it is longer than a few words and pictures are sometimes too small when the students use their phones. I would love to be able to change and increase font size for review on my board. Or, if there was a hover feature that would temporarily enlarge an object or text.

  18. The "Align" feature has been removed from the latest version: it has become impossible to easily and efficiently align objects (the top of one with the bottom of another for example) ; impossible as well to align objects with the center of the page (because we can't know where the center of the page is anymore!) ; impossible to draw perfectly horizontal or vertical lines (what's the point of being able to draw lines then?)...

    This feature is essential and exists in other competitor softwares, so why no longer on Notebook? Moreover, it always has been an option: you could…

  19. I went to Mask part of an image. It wasn't an option anymore. What? Who takes away features?? This is not an update. SN 23 crashes way too often. It also has trouble saving certain drawings. I drew a triangle in a previous version and the hypotenuse was flipped right/left. When I reopened the file, the hypotenuse was going the wrong way again.

  20. Before when you would type, you could go to Format, Paragraph, Line Spacing and change the amount of space between your text. This is a very important feature that was taken out. Without it, you cannot fit the words with images exactly how you want to display them. Please bring this feature back.
