thanks Denis, mw and Felix for your quick responses. Denis> Hi Daniel, Denis> My experience running Xournal on windows is extremely limited... As far Denis> as I can tell:

I think I'll have to install the original windows drive on my laptop and try it with windows. Is there a newer binary than the one in the website (version 0.4.7)?

I agree. that is why I have always try to get a wacom device. Denis> 2.

I should really look into it. Denis> I'm also not sure that copy-paste between xournal and other applications Denis> works properly. Ok. By the way Denis, Andrey, one our students, was able to move the interface to gtk-builder. This might simplify user interface improvements in the future. They have to finish their project in the next couple of weeks and I hope that their work can be useful. --daniel Denis> Best, Denis Denis> On 07/23/2013 04:39 PM, D M German wrote: >> >> hi Everybody, >> >> I wonder if any of you use xournal on a windows computer. >> >> I am ready to throw the towel on android. none of the annotations >> applications have the ease-of-use that Xournal has when it comes to >> annotating PDFs.
