Hi Michael, yes it works on 4.1 and you can always download the latest version from here https://github.com/ethz-let/moodle-qtype_drawing
Can anyone tell me if the current version of this plugin work in 4.1? If not, is there a. version planned for the future? Thanks!
Hi Jetmire.. can you please elaborate more so we see if we can do something about it?
Hi Thomas
It is possible to insert a field for a master-solution "Bewerterinformation" like in the "essay" question type?
Hi Colter
In advanced mode there are svg objects. In our future version, we are going to add the possibility of uploading own images. Stay tuned
Hello Thomas,
Can a tool be added to add images or stamps? We'd like to allow students to create a model as there answer with preset images/stamps for example atoms or molecules.
Hi Thomas, can this plugin be used for a handwritten essay question? In a foreign language exam students may have trouble typing in another language and may be more comfortable "writing" by hand.
Hi Matthias, you can download the transitional version from our github until we clean up everything and release it to the community.

Dear Thomas
Have you made any progress with the Moodle 4.0 version?
The current version throws an exception:
Exception - Call to a member function instance_form_definition_after_data() on null
line 316 of /question/type/edit_question_form.php: Error thrown
line 1024 of /lib/formslib.php: call to question_edit_form->definition_after_data()
line 270 of /question/type/questiontypebase.php: call to moodleform->display()
line 368 of /question/bank/editquestion/question.php: call to question_type->display_question_editing_page()
Please advise. What is the specific difference between simple mode and advanced mode? How do you toggle and/or configure between modes?
Dear Anton
At the moment we are focussing on making it working with Moodle 4.0 and the new question bank engine, so there are no such plans at the moment. Please use the GitHub-Tracker to submit your feature request (or even better pull request of your solution).
Dear @Roberto Cantanuto
No, unfortunately it doesn't support handwriting recognition. Do you know a well-working open-source framework which supports that?. be, Thomas
Hi, does it support free handwriting recognition ? Like, you write an equation and it is automatically recognized and converted into typed equation.
Thanks
Hi,
great plugin - thank you!
Is there already a roadmap for possible further developments? I think an extended drawing tool (rectangle, circle, ...) would be a nice feature.
br, Anton
Hi Irvin, This is caused by something in your web server's configuration (apache config mod_sec etc), not free hand drawing plugin.
At the very least, check the web server's error log. It may tell you something useful.
