Why I don’t see the latest update2024-01-22T23:47:43+00:00

The latest update may be on demand while I am evaluating its stability before the full release.
To get the update, open the store, select the library, then press Get updates.
You should then see Scrble in the list of updates.

Can I run Scrble when offline?2023-09-10T14:06:34+00:00

Yes. Scrble stores the notes locally and is fully functional when working offline. Although this is true for most users, some have experienced crashes when working offline. Please look at the troubleshooting section or email me for assistance with this problem.

Can I use Scrble for simple drawing?2023-09-10T14:08:14+00:00

Scrble has two main modes: Drawing and Writing. Write is the default mode, allowing you to write linear notes quickly. This may not be ideal if you wish to draw freely in a random location on the page. By selecting draw, the app will zoom in on the area where you double tap and not shoot the writing overlay pane for auto-scrolling.

Where are my notes stored?2023-09-10T14:08:50+00:00

Your notes are stored in a local folder on your device. You can customize your stored location everywhere using the full version for easy access.

  • Notes are saved as one file per page. The files are named using the title and then appending #1, #2, etc., for the various pages
  • Projects are folders in your file system. All the notes in the same project can be found in the same folder, which is named using the project name.
  • All notes are saved under a root folder Scribble, which can live where you like on your machine.
  • To find the store location, go to the gallery, click the … on the top right, then click Explore save folder.
  • You can use Windows File Explorer to rearrange, delete, move copy, and reorganize as you like all notes, then press Refresh in Scribble to reload the notes.
  • I recommend selecting a DropBox or OneDrive folder location so your notes are automatically backed up, and you can recover previous versions. If you use OneDrive, make sure you select the option “Always keep on this device” option for the Scribble folder (from the context menu in the file explorer)

Can I share notes across devices?2023-09-17T13:57:09+00:00

Yes, you can if you are using the full version.

You need to open the settings and select a folder that gets synchronized online as your save location.

My recommendation is to use OneDrive or DropBox. I have also tried GoogleDrive, but they can generate an error during saving since they lock the file when syncing.

Ensure the folder is set to sync offline and that it doesn’t optimize the image size by re-sampling the file, or you will not be able to edit your notes.
