Hi Stephen and all other freeminders, there is a big problem with the CVS repository: In version 0.6.7 (and 0.6.5) all sources reside in a directory named freemind/freemind. There you can find the directories controller, main, view, modes. In the CVS at sourceforge, these directories are now directly in the freemind module, i.e. at the path freemind/ Thus, everything gets mixed: source code, html, doc, images, etc. I will ask sourceforge.net to change the directory-structure to get the former state back, because it is very important to separate code and documentation. Thus, I will ask everybody to commit your changes (if there are any) and I will write to sourceforge.net and after the step is performed, I post again here. Thank you, Christian |

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.

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/ Christian |

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