Dear Dan, recently, I've published 0.9.0 RC7 with many bug fixes to the IMHO most nasty bugs. I commented the fixes below. Perhaps, you may find some time to verify this, thanks, Chris > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Betreff: > Re: [Freemind-developer] 0.9.0 for testing > Von: > Dan Polansky <dan...@gm...> > Datum: > Fri, 4 Dec 2009 10:40:06 +0100 > An: > fre...@li... > > An: > fre...@li... > > > Hi Chris > > it is good to see a solid version of FreeMind 0.9.0, the version RC6. > Many errors reported for the previous RCs have been fixed. > Congratulations! > > There are nevertheless some issues open to which I would like to draw > your attention.

Feedback on conversion > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1820886&group_id=7118&atid=1006953 > This is the single most important outstanding issue. Users updating to > the version 0.9.0 are not notified that their maps have been converted > to a format that the version 0.8.0 cannot read. Either a warning > should be implemented, one that appears per default, or an additional > function should be added to FreeMind 0.9.0 that saves a mind map in > the file format of 0.8.0; this could be one of the export functions. > If such an export function were there, it would be no longer that > critical that FreeMind does not warn about converting a mind map to an > incompatible file format. > Done. > 2. Zoom: no zooming effect on node editors > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2800933&group_id=7118&atid=107118 > Zooming set for the mind map does not apply to the rich text node > editor; the bug has been fixed in part, in that zooming at least > applies correctly to plain text long node editor. On one hand, this > does not cause a data loss, so is not of the absolutely utmost > urgency. But it is a conspicuous usability error, one that makes the > zoom fuction only half-usable in combination with rich text editing. > Some of the users of the zoom function use it because small letters > are tiring to their eyes; this can be especially true on some notebook > displays with high PPI (pixel per inch). The bug is quite easy to fix; > I do not have this bug in my personal version of FreeMind. > Later, as I tried once to do it, but failed in the same way you suggested. > 3. Long node editor not below node > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2540600&group_id=7118&atid=107118 > Long node editor is still sometimes opened above the node instead of > below it.

It is in > any case an unneeded deviation from the behavior of FreeMind 0.8.0 and > 0.7.1, one that should not therefore be too difficult to fix. > Later. > 4. Option for plain text in notes > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1884362&group_id=7118&atid=1006953 > I do not really hope that you will implement an option for having > plain text notes, but I am mentioning this anyway.
