Hello, we had a user submit an issue that tasktile, maxpoints, stem, and enterstemhere were not displaying properly. The inputs had [[]] around them and did not load the string from the lang file.

To resolve this, in edit_drawing_form.php lines 113, 117, 121, and 124 need 'qtype_kprime' swapped with 'qtype_drawing'

Hi

We have just started using your awesome tool. Our current Moodle version is 3.11. We have a sandbox site where we build-out our lessons before backing them up and restoring them to the Moodle site where our students work. For some questions, we have loaded a background image on the ETH question (graph grids, number lines). When we restore them to our student site, many are lost in the process. Is there a step, or requirement that I am forgetting that would cause this to happen?

Thanks

Laurie

PS - The tool gets great reviews from our high school students - it is so much easier to use than other similar tools that have come before it

Hi Laurie

No images or data should be lost. It is very hard to make a guess without an actual case (ie anonymised backup file). Could you please follow up with the issue in details here: https://github.com/ethz-let/moodle-qtype_drawing/issues

Hi,
I'm trying to use this plugin in a bio lesson as part of the quiz. It looks like this question type doesn't provide any way to input the grader information. Is that possible to add this field back? It would be quite useful for noting the marking scheme.

Hi,
¿Is it posible to update the qtype_drawing directily from version 1 (2021120400) to versión 4.3 (2023111300) without passing by versión 4 possible from Moodle 3.11 (Transitional) (2022082300)?
Thanks!

Hi, it should be ok to jump versions

Hi, what does these errors means? "Error: Unable to load SVG data" and "Error in background image. Background image most likely not in clean SVG format". Thanks a lot.

Hi,
This is a great tool and very useful for my work, but the writing canvas is not supported well with some touchscreen devices and Wacom tablets. I need my students to show the steps to their calculations for physics questions, but they have trouble writing on the canvas. Is it possible to fix this issue? Also, in the "Advanced Mode, the eraser tool is inactive. Is there any possibility to have the eraser in the advanced mode?
Kind regards!

When will it be updated for Moodle 5?

Dear Moodlers,

On 13 January 2026, ETH Zurich transferred the Moodle question type ‘Freehand Drawing’ (qtype_drawing) to TU Wien. The main goal is to continue supporting the plugin in upcoming major Moodle releases and to ensure compatibility. Further improvements to the plugin are also planned and already being implemented.

Best regards,
ETH Zurich and TU Wien
