1. Add a Close button on the HELP/About
2. When you double click on a node activate it so that it can be edited. Call F2 when you double click. Might be nice if when its double clicked it also resizes the node so text fit.
3. When saving a large map then reading it back in Limada is only reading in 3 items at a time. If I delete those items then open it again it brings in 3 more items. Hitting the arrange button doesnt do anything for restoring all nodes. I thought before this had to do with saving and losing data but I think all the data is there just the relationships are missing.

    hi!
    thanks for your suggestions,
    and sorry for the big delay of my answer

    ad 1.) easy to do, I'll add this to the todo-list
    ad 2.) not so easy, cause double-click could be used in several ways. most of my customers are using limadas content-features, and they would like to open the content in the same window with double-click. So the best would be to make double-click configurable by the user. this is a planned feature for version .10
    ad 3) saving and reopening:
    if you save a map, close the program, and open it again, the programm searches for the ROOTs of the trees, and only shows the roots.
    you have different options to change this behaviour:
    1. make a sheet. everything stored in the sheet will be shown as stored. then add the sheet to favorites.
    2. click on a node and press the *-key. it will expand the hole tree.
    3. add everything you want to see when the file is opened to favorites.

    But I'll think over the GUI to be more like a graphics program.
    thanks again for your feed-back!

    Thank you for the feedback on saving and opening the map. Works great. I look forward to seeing this project develop. I really like the way you designed the reordering of the nodes. That is a very useful feature because it allows me to see data with regard to the relationships on that node. Other programs just reorder to what they feel will look good. This makes it useful at seeing the data from a different perspective. Thanks for all the great work you have done - love this program.
