About Build#22 from November 29th

Hi everybody!

It has been a long time since the last build which is more than a month ago. But we haven’t slept, we’ve just refractored, optimized and polished Mind42 to improve the overall experience of Mind42. Here comes the feature list of the new build:

  • Increased UTF8 support (attachments, import, export, …)
  • Increased performance (copy/past, drag & drop, deletion, … of branches is much faster now + faster published map view)
  • Changed handling of unavailable images (they no longer disappear + now there is a retry button available)
  • Added invitation link lookup to the collaborators dialog

But now, before releasing you to explore the new features and give me some feedback, I want to spend some words on the last of the mentioned features. As we keep getting mails of users whose invitations never arrive at their invitees we’ve thought about how to deal with this. Besides optimizing our mail server, we decided to add an “invitation link lookup” to the collaboration dialog. Therefore the list of unredeemed invitations got a new icon with a question mark. If clicked it shows you the link to accept the invitation. This allows you to get the link, and send it to your invitee yourself if the mail got stuck anywhere. We hope this temporary solution for the lost mail problem is acceptable for everybody.

As always: Feedback appreciated!

  1. Thanks for making a great site better.

    Any ideas on the whole idea of assigning tasks on “to do” lists to different people who are collaboratives and then have those tasks show up on a side tab when that user is logged in? I’m just seeing that as a huge upgrade for those using the site for project development.

  2. I really enjoy using mind42. But since this build I can not open the xml files exported from map42 in MindManager anymore. The program quits unexpected all the time as soon as I try to import or open the file. Any idea, what could cause the problem.

  3. @Joe: No plans yet ;)
    @Kai: I’ve just tried it myself and was able to reproduce the error. I’ve forwarded this case. Will probably be fixed within this week.

  5. thats a really good idea… i usually don’t comment blogs and stuff but seriously that “invitation link lookup” idea was very good.
