    Hi Alexandre, Thank you for your work, I really appreciate it. The script is useful, but I think it can be even more useful if, instead of asking the user to press some hotkey to save a node to history-map, the script somehow automatically does this for the user. For example, each time the user visits a node, and if he stays there for more than a few seconds, the script will automatically add the node to the history-map. I believe this improvement, if possible, will help save a lot of time and effort...

    Hi Jubal and everyone, I am the author of the 2018 post that Jubal mentioned earlier :) Up until now I still hope that we will have a history panel soon, because moving back and forth node-by-node is sometimes not enough, this way of navigation is a bit slow. Part of the reason why it is slow is that I often make a lot of 'meaningless' selections, in which I accidentally select a node when I move the mouse around the map treeview. This makes navigating back node-by-node to the 'meaningful' selections...

    @dpolivaev Thank you for your response. I think it is a problem because in my example above, if instead of cutting, I moved node 3 by selecting it and dragging it to node "Test Map", then node 1 (the child of node 3) would not lose it cloning property. In my point of view, cutting and then pasting a node to another location should have the same effect as dragging it to that location. In other apps, these actions are both called "moving". Moreover, in large maps, it is impossible to drag a node to...

    Suppose we have this setup: node 1 node 2 contains node 3, which in turn contains a clone of node 1 please see picture "before_copy_cut.png" I attached below now if we copy or cut node 3 and paste it into node "Test Map" expected result: node 3 (after copy or cut) still contains the clone of node 1 actual result: node 3 (after copy or cut) contains a copy of node 1 please see picture "after_copy_cut.png" I attached below This weird behaviour (or bug) caused a huge problem in one of my big maps.

    Hi Lilive, You're right, I didn't think about the growing-cache issue when I proposed the idea. But I think Jumper can offer this feature as optional. It's like a trade off between speed and space. I don't know about other people, but as for me, I am willing to choose speed in this case, since the maps consists of mostly text so they cannot grow too big and I still have hundreds of unused GBs in my hard drive ^^ I'm also considering another option: I could not remove the html formating when jumper...

    Hi lilive, I'm sorry that I cannot upload my map because it contains information about my work and my company won't allow it. But here is some info about the map: It has more than 2000 nodes. It has pictures in notes, but these are only html links to the real pictures stored externally, and since Jumper converts the whole map to plain text, I think the pictures don't matter. The map also contains a lot of unicode (non-ascii) characters because my mother tongue language is not English. Don't know...

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Hi lilive, I've just updated to version 1.0.0. It's nice and useful. Thank you for your hard work. There is one problem though: When I use Jumper with one of my large maps (map's size ~5 MB), it takes about 4-5 seconds just to start Jumper, which is quite long. In small maps (map's size under 1 MB) Jumper starts much faster. Is there anything we can do to make Jumper start faster when working with large maps?

    Hi Lilive, I think this script is a great idea, especially for large maps. I have some questions and comments: Does this script alter the map in any way? Is there any risk of data loss or map corruption? How does this script handle clones? I think it should show only search results from the original node, not the clone ones. In the next version, I would love to see the ability to search for words in the node's notes too, since I use them heavily. I think this is no simple task, but still hope to...

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    @echo21: Thank you very much for your analysis. The original map (which had this problem) was created and edited purely in Freeplane, using only mouse and keyboard, no script involved. And I agree with you that it might be difficult to reproduce this problem because that map was very big with thousands of nodes, and thousands of commands (create, cut, copy, clone...) have been executed on it, and somehow a rare combination of these commands created this problem. After all, no app is perfect so it...

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    @dpolivaev Honestly I don't remember how I created that map. The map I attached here is just a strip-down version of the full map on which I noticed this behaviour. In order for you to fully understand my concern, I'd like to tell you my way of using clones: I often create a lot of clones when working on a project. And when this project finishes, I delete all of the clones, but I have to keep the original node. So regarding the 'strange' behaviour I mentioned in this topic, it is dangerous to me...

    If d (and all its children) was cloned, the rectangle attached to g would be small, not large. Please take a look at the picture I attached with this reply.

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    I have a simple map (please see the attached picture and map). In the map, there are 2 nodes named g, and since they both have the large rectangle at the left side, they are clone. The strange thing is: If one of them is deleted, the other one disappears too. This is not something I expect. What I expect is that: if a clone is deleted, then the other node should still exist. Also in the map, there are 2 nodes named d, if I delete one of them, the other still exists. This is the correct behavior....

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    The best solution I'm aware of is to create a link from a node in map A (suppose this is the target node) to a node in map B (suppose this is the reference node). To do this: in map A: select the target node, right click it and choose 'copy node URI' in map B: select the ref node, press Ctrl + k, a small window will open, and you paste the URI into it.

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    This is a quite basic thing but I cannot find it anywhere in Freeplane GUI. If you know the way, please help me, thanks.

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    In the past when I showed my maps to my colleagues, there were nodes that I didn't want them to see. Back then I used the lock feature. Now if we can hide nodes, this will be a good alternative to my above mentioned use case.

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola modified a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    When working with Freeplane, we often move back and forth between recently visited nodes, therefore it would be very helpful if Freeplane had a panel showing a list of these nodes. Even though right now we can already use (alt + left) and (alt + right) to move between these nodes, but this solution has some drawbacks: We can only move to the next adjacent node (in time) and we don't know which node we are about to move to (we only know the destination after we press the above keys).

    Recently I've switched to use Freeplane with a dark style. Everything is good, except for a small problem: The color of the cursor in SimplyHTML is still black. Well, it is black by default (which is ok with a white background) but when I set the background of the note editor to a dark color, because the cursor is black, I cannot see it clearly. Please take a look at the attached image FP_note_editor.png for example. However, the cursor's color of the node core dialog does change to white (after...

    Since my Freeplane toolbar still has many empty space, I'd like to add some custom toolbar icons in order to execute some of my scripts from them. I've read this guide: Menus and commands, it gave me a start, but still not enough information for me to achieve my goal. Could you please give me some guides on how to proceed? Thank you.

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Please take a look at the attached picture. I have two sets of nodes: (S1, T1) and it's clone (S2, T2). If from S1, I create a link to T1, then this link will also appear in S2 (this is normal). The problematic thing is, if I click the link in S2, what I want is to move to T2, but it brings me to T1 instead. In other words, both of the links point to T1. Is there anyway to "force" the link created in S2 to point to T2? Thanks.

    Hi nnako, Is there any hotkey to jump back to previous nodes of only one map (the active map)? In many situations, jumping back to previous nodes of all opened maps is not what I want to do. Thank you.

    A panel showing recently viewed nodes of a map

  • Robertonisola Robertonisola posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Hi everyone, When working with a map, many times we have to move back and forth between recently opened nodes in order to read and update information for them. Therefore it would be great if we could have a panel showing a list of recently viewed nodes, for example, 10 recently viewed nodes would be perfect. The panel might be a floating panel. Is there anyway to implement this panel via groovy? If there is, please show me some guidelines, thank you.

    Hi power Freeplane users, Inside the Note Editor, currently we have these options for changing text color: (Please see file attachment_1.png below) However, in many cases, I need to apply a different color to the text, like in this sentence: (Please see file attachment_2.png below) Of course I can Ctrl + W and then select the color and then apply, however this is slow since I need to do this repeatedly.

    Hi, Does Freeplane have something like a night mode? (night mode is a mode in which the map and note background color are both black, and the text's color is white) This will be very helpful to reduce eyes strain when working for long hours. Thanks.

    After a long time using Freeplane, I have always asked myself what is the most beautiful style for a map. By map's style I mean a combination of node color, edge color, node core's text font... we usually use for a map. I believe when a map is more beautiful, it will help us work more efficiently. Here is an example of my current style: If possible, please post your map's styles here. I am happy to learn from all of you. Thank you very much.
