Hello Chris, I have noticed that you have released 0.9.0 RC8, so I did some tests. There seem to be no release notes with 0.9.0 RC8, so I have been guessing what has been fixed. You have fixed the bug "7. Crypted root's childnodes order error". The other two bugs to which I have pointed your attention remain, and there are two new bug reports, one that I have already posted in an email. What follows is a list of bugs that I think should be fixed before the final release of 0.9.0 2. Zoom: no zooming effect on node editors http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2800933&group_id=7118&atid=107118 This bug of rich text editing failing to zoom can be fixed with acceptable effort. It does not appear in my private version of FreeMind. Based on my private version of FreeMind, I have posted some suggestions into the bug report on how to fix the bug. If these suggestions did not work, something along the lines of them must work. This is not a hard problem. Importantly, the problem concerns every edit of a rich text node when the mind map is zoomed, which concerns all people who prefer zoomed mind maps be it for their eyesight or for their having high PPI display. It is not a minor usability problem with a rarely used function, but rather it is there right in the middle of the main function that FreeMind offers. 10. RC4 regression: incorrect viewing of UTF-8 map http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107118&aid=2810535&group_id=7118 You say "Can't be reproduced under Linux. I'll will check under Windows later." I have reproduced the bug in Windows. It is a bug that prevents loading of certain reasonably formatted mind maps not created by FreeMind. FreeMind's format should be open, in that it should be possible to create mind maps in this format outside of FreeMind. This is not the kind of bug over which one should hurry up to get the final release out. It is a regression bug, absent in 0.9.0 RC3. 12. data loss in notes; note conversion http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3008236&group_id=7118&atid=107118 The bug leads to apparent loss of all notes (notes, not nodes) that were within an encrypted node, after a conversion of a mind map saved by FreeMind 0.8.1 to FreeMind 0.9.0. I have reproduced the bug in Windows; the reporter of the bug uses Linux. In fact, the notes are not lost, but merely hidden away from the user. The problem is that the user does not know that the notes have not been lost, and, if he is a non-technical user, has no obvious way of discovering that his notes are in fact safely stored in the mind map. 13. Conversion from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0 drops newlines in notes http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3021953&group_id=7118&atid=107118 When a mind map created with FreeMind 0.8.1 has notes whose text contains newlines, the newlines are dropped upon the conversion of the mind map to FreeMind 0.9.0 RC8. Thank you for all your effort on bringing FreeMind to a state that is free from regression bugs. Best regards, Dan |
