This is capitalism at the expense of the customer’s right to change products mid-stream because each has different features the user would like to combine. As a customer I find it offensive that you try to limit my ability to make consecutive formatting changes in different programs by having limited or no exporting of my formatting or by not properly interpreting the formatting done in another program. I own the cumulative formatting I have done on my mind map whether done in one program or many different ones consecutively. Similarly, if your program is the best users will quickly find that if they move files from your programs the minds are not as good. After all, if your program is the best users will quickly find that if they move files in from another program they have much better mind maps. If you really think you have the best mind mapping program, the best way to prove it is make it easy to import files from another program AND to make easy to export files. I paid for all copies of the programs I use and the text and earlier formatting is my intellectual property. Frequently I compose in one program in Markup and bring it into the “high feature programs” for creating camera-ready copy. I move files between word processing programs all of the time because it is easier to do specific types of formatting in some than others. Most other companies make good translations among word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs.
That assumption is that you no longer own the rights to your own mind map - specifically to move the ideas easily from program to program - once the map has been worked on in a specific program.įortunately Microsoft and Apple got past this nonsense by using easily converted file types that do not lose features between Word and Pages as well as Excel and Numbers. I have never heard this said so bluntly, but let that not stop me from stating the real issues here.įor companies to refuse to promote interoperability of mind maps among their programs (or heaven forbid to develop a common standard file type for mind mapping) makes an assumption that is directly insulting to the user. In general, mind mapping programs do not export their maps to other formats or seem to export it in a way that seems unnecessarily difficult and at a great loss of the work that went into developing the map in the initial program.

On Android this is also secured and therefor not possible to link to files on your Android.My Biggest Peeve About #MindMapping Programs When working in the files tab you can add a weblink only.
Because of that linking to a file on your own device is not allowed. This a security measure from Apple and limits what the AppStore edition of SimpleMind can do.

*Note! SimpleMind for Mac (AppStore edition) and SimpleMind for iPad/iPhone are sandboxed. For example, when Jim's number is (+31) 11 1234567 on your Android and 011-1234567 on your iPhone. Phone numbers need to be exactly the same, if they are not, the link will not work. Note: If you use different contact apps, use "link by e-mail". If the contact has more than one e-mail address or phone number you can choose where you want to link to. Other devices with the same contact can open the link. The link will then actually be a "Link to Document in Cloud" as described above.Īdds a link to a contact by phone-number or email address. To overcome this problem, SimpleMind optionally allows uploading a copy of the linked document to a cloud.
Link to a document on your device (Windows and Mac "SimpleApps" edition only) :Ī link to a local file is bound to your device or computer and won't open across devices.Other devices with access to the same cloud can open these documents. When you store the mind map in a built-in cloud you can link to a document in that same cloud. Fill out, or copy/paste, the whole internet-address, including or to make the link work. Use copy/paste link to link to a specific topic in the same or another mind map *. Link to a specific topic in a mind map:.Links to another mind map on your device on or in a cloud. Tap on this navigation icon to open the link. After you have added the link, the topic will show a navigation icon. To add or remove a link, tap on the topic toolbar and select link. A topic may only have one navigation link. A navigation link is a link to a mind map, a web page, a contact or a file.
