Hello all, great tool.

I have also been using your previous
versions but found it more or less unusable. A few days ago I decided
to try it again and now I must say that this tool is OK. Great Job,
compliments !

The problem:

Say I have a Mind Map (=MM) with
three levels of depth. I will call them Inner Circle (can only be one
node), Middle Circle and Outer Circle.

When creating a MM, each
node has the same font, for example 12 pnts.

Problem:
It is
very hard to set the nodes of the same level to a new font
size.

Step by step:
I click the first node of the, say, middle
cirlce. Change it to 10 pnts. I click the second node of the same level
and now the font size is not correct in the menu bar (PR 223233). I open
the font size selection, must change it first to any value and set it,
then I must change it back to 10 pnts. Only now the font size of the node
is set to 10 pnts.

Proposal 1:
This PR might be solved when PR
223233 is solved but it would be nicer if it was possible to set all
nodes of the same level (=circel) to one font (size, format,
etc.).

Proposal 2:
Additionally or preferably it would be
nice that each level automaticly is set to a lower font size. A
definable automatic decrease/increase value should be set and a
defineable level 0 node font size or a highest level node font size
value should be set.

Proposal 2 example:
Say the
decrease/increase value is set to 2 and the highest level node font
size is set to 8 and there are 4 levels. The highest level is set to 8,
the level before that will become font size 10, the level before that
will become font size 12 and the starting node will set the font size
to 14.

I'll continue testing,
CUL8R

    with freemind 0.5.0 at least, you can ctrl-pick each of many nodes,
    picking the last with right mouse button and drag to a node with formatting
    you want. Formatting will be copied to all the selected nodes you right
    dragged to the example node.

    Save your file right before doing
    this, though, so you can restore easily if you mistakenly left drag, which
    will re-arrange the nodes, or middle drag, which will copy
    them.

    Changing font of several nodes is easy in current version -
    just select multiple nodes and change their font.
