Thanks for going through the effort to make this. Just got my RM2 today and trying to figure out how to best set it up for what I need. This helps tremendously!

@notenoughtech 2 года назад

@richardmonk5522 7 месяцев назад

Great video tutorial. Thanks. I followed your instructions and was able to quickly create, upload, and use custom templates from a .png file. However, when I sync these to the reMarkable desktop app, the template background is missing- only the writing appears. What did I do wrong?

@bonne-energie 2 года назад

Hey, great channel and great video! Just a question, what happens after an update of the Remarkable? Do we lose our custom templates after an update?

@notenoughtech 2 года назад

Backup the templates, update, restore the templates with the tool and your custom ones are back ;)

@WhiteCubeHome 2 года назад

Just do "Upload all templates" as the first operation after the upgrade. The rM2 Template Helper Software shows you a message to do so.

@mariboni516 2 года назад

Thank you for the video. One question.. how did you get the dark theme? I just got mine a few days ago so I'm still learning. However, I've been through all the settings and I can't find any deal theme. TIA

@notenoughtech 2 года назад

I'm not aware of the dark theme as a single setting but you can make the "dark" versions of your templates.

@anthonyreiter 2 года назад

Question. Can you create new pages like the pre-installed templates? Meaning if I upload a template and it is a single image will the add page or swipe right feature work so more pages will be added?

@notenoughtech 2 года назад

Yes you can create templates and they will appear on each page of the notebook

@jakubgraban8395 Год назад

Thank you for your video. I have downloaded the community template and uploaded it. It works only on the first page. What to do is I extend notes so the next page will look the same?

@notenoughtech Год назад

That's correct. If you want to have different templates for each page, you need a PDF. Think of a template as a school notepad, you can buy them as lines or double lines, but not mixed ones

@BlackfeatherTanfur Год назад

In you video you state, "available for Windows, Linux and Mac" but when I follow the links, it's only available for Windows. Does anyone know of an easy tool for Mac? I know I can use ssh to list, and scp to move files. But I need to know where to put the custom templates. I've not yet found anyone who's posted on the file directory structure. BTW another page lists 1404 x 1842 size for the screen.

@jadesx96 Месяц назад

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm still on the hunt and think it's unfair that we have to pay for software like einktools when we've already paid over £400 for the tablet in the first place

@WilliamPeck1958 7 месяцев назад

This is a good video, well done. Only thing is - the reMarkable and an iPad are two different animals. Sure, do your work with an iPad. But the rM is used for "distraction free" thinking (and drawing). Even though the conclusion is "use an iPad (app) for architectural drawings", I bet the architect here still HAS a rM, both for sketching and other things. It totally replaces all the sketch pads.

@notenoughtech 7 месяцев назад

I think that recent updates bringing basic geometry and functions tell us, that the hardware is capable of more. Distraction-free is a term I personally dislike as it's a poor man's version for "lacking". I'd never want RM to be an iPad, but we gotta admit, inability to draw a straight line or make a custom template was a serious hindrance which can't be explained by distraction free ideology :)

@MyOm100 2 года назад

I haven't tried to make customs templates. In stead, I have made a PDF (with a simple empty table with two columns) that I write on. When I need more pages, I just copy a page. However, I could have had the same as a template, but I haven't tried that yet. Is there any difference between using a template, rathere than just writing on a PDF-file? Would it have been better for me to make a tablet?

@notenoughtech 2 года назад

You can change the templates dynamically. Each new page has the same template. Advantage of pdf is that you can have links and each page can be different. Its all about what works best for your usecase

@MyOm100 2 года назад

@@notenoughtech thank you for your reply! I will try to make those custom templates later. I also see now that when I write on a PDF-file, it won't let me convert my writing into text, which is something I can do when I use the templates. The size on the files don't seem to vary much if I write on a PDF then when I use the templates, but it could be that if I write on a PDF, the files will be bigger.

@user-gv5bj5lt5q Год назад

I was so excited about this template software. I purchased the licensed not even a week ago, created and loaded my templates and now they are missing on the reMarkable. Why are the templates disappearing on the reMarkable once loaded? There have been no changes made to the template and the documents/notes I have take using my custom templates disappeared too...please help.

@notenoughtech Год назад

They shouldn't disappear. The only time templates are removed frm your RM is when you perform a firmware update and you have to restore your template.

Thanks for posting this i can make the templates using this program but the background will not sync . All i get is a blank page with my writing but no template showing . Is there any thing that can be done ? i am using Windows. Does the firewall have to be updated ?

@notenoughtech 2 года назад

When you sync up your templates, you have to select a thumbnail from existing templates. So they look exactly like reMarkable templates but have custom names. It should display the custom template without any issues, but if you have problems with the background, chances are that your template dimensions might be incorrect.

@ER-D0C Год назад

Great video -- thank you for putting this together! Unfortunately, I am having issues. When I upload custom templates, I get a large black square taking up about 1/4 the page (left upper quarter of the page). It seems to occur when attempting to upload a PDF (which the author's website states is a compatible drag and drop file type). Interestingly, when dragging and dropping the PDF, a GIF file of the 1st page of the PDF is automatically created and it seems it is the GIF that is uploaded to the RM2 Template Helper. Why would the program create GIFs that are then displaying on the remarkable with a black box (which is NOT present on the GIF when opening it on the PC). Any ideas?

@notenoughtech Год назад

Can you open the template ok, is it just thumbnail affected? Each custom template has to use existing thumbnail from stock list of templates. Other than that, I'm not sure what else could cause this behaviour.
