Lately the big bosses had a look a freeplane. "Nice tool, if you can manage it. Looks like a mess". So to be able to make freeplane more attractive, filtering and navigating is key.
Let's look at the video in the attachments. After seeing it, it might become clear, why I consider the following behaviour to be a bug, and why it is disruptive.
Select the root node, hit "Filter selected node"
Seeing all nodes available on the map, which would be equal to "no filtering"
All nodes are being hidden
Apply "no filtering" to the map.
Why have you quoted the rude expression used by your boss?
Anyway I fixed it.
Well they did not mean to be rude. They have no clue what a mind map is :)
