I think I can confirm this bug too. Not as drastically as on the screenshot, but yes, tops and bottoms are truncated, so e.g. dots of "i" and bottom parts of "g" are disappeared during editing. That is why I always prefer to edit in Long Node mode. I see this behaviour on stable (1.0.1), unstable (1.1.0 Beta 2) and commit cc87d4a4 (the latest working commit for Linux at this time). Java versions 8 and 11, Arch Linux.
-
I think this "bug" could be closed as wontfix or so: both stable and unstable releases can be compiled on Java 8 only and run on Java 8 and 11 (from the list of the Arch Linux supported Java versions). The latest commit can be compiled and run with Java 17, but it has a bug with stack overflow while editing long nodes. Basically, this is not a bug, but a feature request about latest Java support. And with the latest versions (21, 22) there is another problem - Security Manager is deprecated.
-
This problem is not related to Java 17 and commit a1cfa85e. The latest good commit is cc87d4a4. The next two commits — bb964c15 and 832707b2 — can't be compiled: BUILD FAILED /home/korshikov/stuff/Projects/aur-freemind-git/src/code/freemind/build.xml:50: taskdef class org.jibx.binding.ant.CompileTask cannot be found using the classloader AntClassLoader[] I'm not a Java man, sorry if these two could easily be fixed and tested. And, finally, 095dc4e6 is compiled successfully and the bug in question...

DaveE posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion
The approach I took after using freemind was to write a new plugin called 'MindTypes' that gave freemind the ability to assign a type to each node (if you want to) and give context sensitive menues based on the node type. Then you can define actions based on the node types. You can create java code fragments to do useful stuff that are activated via the context menues. It now allows for OSGI plugins to extend the library of actions. By way of a use case: I can can create a node in Freemind Set it...

Hi everyone, The links above are all gone. Still looking for a FreeMind viewer/editor for Android. Found DroidPlane, but viewable as a text list only, instead of graphical. Is there anywhere I can contribute a bounty to the development of a graphical viewer/editor/?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I am getting the same behavior using several different keyboards. There does not appear to be a malfunctioning or sticky escape key.

Nick Busigin posted a comment on discussion Thank you for the music
That's odd. I've never encountered that problem either and the only thing that I can think of that would knock you out of your typing and get you back to the main root node would be hitting the ESC key twice. Is it possible that your keyboard is starting to act up?
-
I am using Freemind and the program automatically sends the cursor back to the main node while I am typing, which discards whatever work I am doing on my current node. This is very disruptive to my work on mind maps. Is there a way to turn off this focusing feature? I have used Freemind for well over 10 years and have never encountered this problem. Any guidance on an existing thread that addresses this or user tips would be greatly appreciated!

It is a limitation in snap package configuration. It is a security feature of snap to run a program in a sandbox so it is possible to limit its impact on the system. Apparently, the current configuration of the snap with Freemind that you are using limits file access to the home directory, or so. Here is a thread that discusses that problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1643706
-
I had the same problem. The root cause in my case was that Freemind application opened a modal window that was hidden behind other windows, sometimes even on another display when two monitors used. Naturally, Freemind does not response on keyboard and mouse clicks until the modal window is dismissed. It might be tricky to get the modal windows in focus. You can try to minimize all the windows (WIN+D in Windows) and then bring Freemind to the front.

The method is incomplete. At least on my macOS M2, it doesn't work. When starting FreeMind, it prompts that the JRE library cannot be found. After trying for an afternoon, I found that it is necessary to copy the JRE library to the 'jre' path. That is, the 'lib' library from the downloaded JRE needs to be copied to the path '/Contents/Home/jre/lib'. If this method is helpful to you, please sponsor me 5 RMB. WeChat: zhoucy_pt.

woo hoo! OSGI plugins work now! to be clear, they work from the plugin I wrote called MindTypes. The plugin was written to make writing plugins far easier - and it does just that. I have to say it is* pretty cool to now just be able to drop a Jar file in the right directory and have it all work.

This is called "word wrap" its a feature, not a bug. If you examine the text, there are no new lines inserted in the text (except the ones you put in) you might want to try resizing the "box"

Hello, good evening. When I start writing in each "box", the program does everything in a straight line, for example, [____________]. But, automatically, it moves to the bottom line when the phrase gets too long, like this: [ ________] [______] I would like to continue writing straight line, is that possible?

maybe 13 years ago, an accomplice and my self where looking at knowledge management and we cam across freemind and thought it would be a good platform to mess around with. As a result we have a plugin that lets you put schemata on mind maps, context sensitive menus, more actions on node and its own plugin system that makes writing extensions for the plugin (not for freemind) stupid easy. It has a document generator that we use to write entire java class files, generate wiki text for documentation...

I have a plugin i wrote for freemind and have ported it over to rev 1.0.x It makes writing plugins a trivial exercise, i find it to be a great way to extend freemind. Its likely it may be somthing useful to you. I am now making it use OSGi plugins..... Leg me know if you want to talk further On another note, I have NO desire to use freeplane or deveop anything for it.

I just use freemind to generate the code, it puts it in the clipboard and I pop it into eclipse. (yes, I have a plugin that writes the code)

If you are that worried, just download it and recompile it yourself.

the Source code is freely available (last time i checked) so you can customize it to your hearts content.

IanGr: I feel your pain! I wrote a plugin for freemind some time ago that now that the internals of freemind have changed quite a bit, it was 'a bit painful'. The plugin i wrote generates both styled documents and unstyled documents (and a whole lot more) so If i need a particular style i use freemind to capture the content and its logical structure then i use a plugin to apply the style i want. Thats how i worked around that issue.

To add support for the Arabic language in Freemind, you may need to adjust the font settings and enable right-to-left text direction. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you: Open Freemind and go to the "Preferences" or "Options" menu. This is usually located under the "Edit" or "File" menu. Look for the "Fonts" or "Text" section in the preferences/options menu. Here, you can change the default font settings for your mind maps. Select a font that supports Arabic characters.
