It was very quiet during the last weeks, but today we release build #15 - a small sign of life.
The most obvious change can be found on our homepage. A new front- and a new about-page including a small screencast. But also the applications itself got some small new features:
- A collapse/expand all button in the left menu bar
- New keyboard shortcut (”e”) to collapse/expand nodes
- An image “load-indicator”
- The birdview now is resizeable
Image export was delayed a bit - but will be online very soon - promised…
You guys have built an amazing product! This is one of the most useful MindMap tools I’ve tried - and even after just a day of understading what mind maps are - I’ve gotten so much organized using this. Great work and wish you loads of success.
I do hope this remains free for the early sign-ons even if you decide to have a subscription model someday
Rgds,
Sameer

Very nice tool, I have been playing around with it and looks excellent.
However I have found a problem (?) I can not invite other user when using Firefox. Loaded the page with IETab and worked fine.

Hi Carlos,
Currently I don’t know of any problems like this, but we will check this. Thank you for the feedback.

Just wanted to echo the praise - this is a truly useful tool. I’ve been using it to help plan my upcoming wedding, and the result is a pretty sprawling mind map!
The one feature you hint at that I could really use is the export to image… Any chance this is nearing completion?
Thanks!

Hi Nate - and thank you for your nice feedback. The thing with the image export is a little bit difficult
Actually the client implementation would be finished, but the server developer who should implement the conversion and scaling of the map is on vacation for some weeks. But maybe anybody could need the following snippet:
javascript:window.open(”about:blank”, “SVG Export”).document.write(”SVG Code” + irian.mindTracker.Context.Export.doExport() + “”);
When you’ve opened a map just put this snippet into the adress bar and press enter. A new window opens containing a text box with the SVG code of the map. Of course we will implement an export feature where you can choose the format and such stuff. But for now maybe anybody can use this SVG code
I know that the produces SVG works fine with Batik (a Java SVG conversion library), but I don’t think that it would work with somethink like Adobe Illustrator…

Stefan - thanks for the javascript snippet! I’ll try to find an SVG engine or just install Batik…
