FreeMind 1.0.0

A user-friendly application that can help you create complex mind-maps by easily inserting nodes and connections, then sharing the result

FreeMind is a comprehensive mind-mapping utility that comes with an intuitive editor for tree-structured data and helps you to organize your work and project.

Current users of FreeMind use it for the following purposes:
· Keeping track of projects, including subtasks, state of subtasks and time recording
· Project workplace, including links to necessary files, executables, source of information and of course information
· Workplace for internet research using Google and other sources
· Keeping a collection of small or middle sized notes with links on some area which expands as needed. Such a collection of notes is sometimes called knowledge base.
· Essay writing and brainstorming, using colors to show which essays are open, completed, not yet started etc, using size of nodes to indicate size of essays. I don't have one map for one essay, I have one map for all essays. I move parts of some essays to other when it seems appropriate.
· Keeping a small database of something with structure that is either very dynamic or not known in advance. The main disadvantage of such approach when compared to traditional database applications are poor query possibilities, but I use it that way anyway - contacts, recipes, medical records etc. You learn about the structure from the additional data items you enter. For example, different medical records use different structure and you do not have to analyze all the possible structures before you enter the first medical record.
· Commented internet favorites or bookmarks, with colors and fonts having the meaning you want.

Here are some key features of "FreeMind":

• Fully functional following of HTML links stored in the nodes, be it www links or links to local files.
• Smart copying and pasting into, including pasting of links from HTML or structuring the pasted content on the basis of the number of leading spaces in a line; pasting of lists of selected files.
• Possibility to decorate nodes with built-in icons, colors and different fonts.
• File mode enables you to browse the files on your computer, seeing the folder structure as mind map.
• In rare cases, following of HTML links in the web browser does not work on some computers; the same holds for opening local files.

Requirements:

• Java Runtime Environment
• About 13 MB of Hard Disk space for the full version, including all the plug-ins
• At least 512 MB of Memory. More memory is better, especially if you will be creating large mind maps

What's New in This Release:

• WOW Features:
• Clones: nodes and its sub-nodes can be cloned. The two copies will then be synchronized
• Collaboration: two or more people can work simultaneously on the same map
• Restore complete session
• Location based mind mapping
• Spell checking on input
• Clones:
• Copy a node via Edit -> Copy
• Paste a clone of this node (and its children) via Edit -> Paste as Clone
• Both source and destination nodes get a (CLONE) symbol (you can disable this in the file freemind.properties).
• Every change to the source or the destination node will be synchronized on the other one.
• This works after saving and loading later on, too.
• It is possible to have clones inside of other clones.
• It is impossible to move a clone into another clone of the same node.
• To disable a clone, move to the source node and choose "Clone node" again (The UI must be tweaked, IMHO)
• Collaboration:
• You can share a map in your network.
• To do this, you need to specify a port and a password. Then you are the master.
• Others that reach yo...
