Hi everyone,

While updating the SourceForge CVS, I did notice that the zip files
for version 0.6.5 and 0.6.7 had a different directory structure as
Christian describes below.  CVS does not support moving files or
changing directory structures easily, so I changed the 0.6.5 and 
0.6.7 directory structures to match the SourceForge CVS before
committing the changes.  This means that we can keep the history
of each file, which is one of the main reasons for using CVS.

You can still commit any changes you have made by changing your
local directory structure to match the CVS directory structure.

I do not think it is necessary to change the directory structure,
nor is it desirable, as it will become more difficult to find the
history of changes to each file.  We still have a separation of 
code, documentation, and other file types - they are in separate 
directories.

From the official CVS Manual by Per Cederqvist et al:
"If you move the directory you are unlikely to be able to retrieve 
old releases correctly, since they probably depend on the name of 
the directories."
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs_7.html#SEC74

The directory structure for CVS has not changed since the inception
of the CVS repository - so if you do ask the SourceForge team to 
change the directory structure, you will have to spell out the 
exact structure you want.  I have no further changes to commit.

Cheers - Stephen.

Hi Stephen,

you did a good job: I noticed, that you have changed the actual sources 
to keep the structure, and that everything is working good.
Thank you. Thus, you should not understand my plan to reactivate the 
structure of version 0.6.5 as a criticism.

I thought, there is a possibility to change directory structures in CVS 
keeping the older ones intact. Does anybody know?

The changes would be rather simple:
create directory freemind
mv modes/ controller/ view/ main/  -> freemind/

Hi FreeMind Developers,

as announced, I've checked in my version of the link feature and the clouds.
Yet, some of your suggestions are implemented. Let me know your comments.

Usage:
* as before: Links are drawn with ctrl + shift + drag 'n' drop
* right click the link, if you want to change anything.

Todo:
There is still a lot of work left, as the following points announce:
* tool bar menu for clouds must be nicer. I think of a button with a
popup menu.
* Alternative way, to get links between nodes (toolbar button, you push
it, then drag the first to the second node (with shift+ctrl))
* link width is changeable, but at the moment not for the user.
* A link registry/factory is missing. At the moment, link targets get as
their ID a random number (size ~ 2^31), which should be unique for
testing but not for delivery.
* Arrows are not nice.
* Find destination menus are missing.
* Links are not drawn (as a short line), if one of the members is folded.
* the Lines are not changeable for the user.
...

Are there any volunteers out there?

Try and have fun,

Christian

PS: I don't touch the structure of CVS at the moment, as I do not have
enough comments about this.
