Introducing Floating Topics

Happy New Year Everyone !

Looking back at 2008:
It was a great year for us at Mindomo. We grew more than 100% in the last year, we rolled out several new features (see: our changelog ) so everything is looking good :) .

What’s new in 2009?
The first goodies this year are: floating topics, adding main topics with double click and find-replace functionality.

Floating topics: This was one of the most requested features. With this new feature you will be able to create not only mind maps but also concept maps.
In order to add a new floating topic you just will have to hold down the CTRL key and CLICK with the mouse to the map canvas, a new floating topic will be added.

Find-Replace: We think a find-replace feature is an important productivity feature if you are using Mindomo regularly. Please see the picture below which illustrates the usage of the new dialog.

Both Mindomo Free/Premium and Mindomo Desktop were updated, in the next couple of days we will update Mindomo Business/Education too.

You can always let us know what do you think by posting to this blog or to our forum

Advanced Export to PDF (Vector Graphics)

This weekend we updated our site and released our latest update.

This update comes with true PDF export, which means that the mind map is exported graphically into a PDF document. The previous implementation just exported the contents of the mindomo map.

Exporting to PDF gives you a huge advantage if you want to share your mindmaps with others who are offline and who don’t know anything about mindmapping software or mindomo.

It also allows you to create high quality printouts.

However the current implementation has a couple of limitations:

- Asian characters are not supported yet

- Gradients, dashed lines are not supported yet

Except the above described limitations everything should work well.

Please note, that Mindomo Desktop was also updated and the new version will let you export to PDF even when you are not connected to our server.

For the detailed list of new features please consult our changelog

We hope you enjoy these exciting new features.

Greetings, the Mindomo Team!
