I made a posting on above cited SourceForge/projects/Freeplane forum item suggesting that both PApps & Freeplane teams do some hand shaking to bring suggestion about that portable Freeplane find its way into PApps site's application listing. Latter has necessitated use of Freemind v 0.8.x due to no DEB package yet for Freeplane. This all across Mac OSX, MS, & Linux environments. Highly recommend as solid, stable application. Freeplane has been working like a champ to support some heavy ideation, document drafting/publishing, PIM, and project planning/documentation. Very glad to see movement & this item on the agenda. Ref: > Projects > Freeplane > Forums discussion item at Please, please include Freeplane into the list So why not include Freeplane portable in the list and put an end to the sufferings to all mindmappers around desperately looking for a portable mind-mapping application, and thus enhance the applications categories with "Mind-Mapping" And as JayPel puts it very rightly, it works interoperable with FreeMind (some of the issues have been resolved with the latest non-beta releases -1.1.2 as of current). They have already ported Freeplane as a portable application, and I use the portable version daily, have not yet encountered any issues whatsoever. If [ -n "$/core/"\įreeplane is reliable and working extremely well, answering the needs of those who have been desperately wanting FreeMind to be ported as a portable application.īesides continuing the familiar FreeMind interface, the excellent development team continuously work to improve its features, and they have already managed to add a spell-checker function, ability to open the notes pane anywhere (not only bottom but also on top, left, and right) and it is completely free and open source. # We try hard to find the proper 'java' command Here is the portable mod by me of the Linux launcher script. Freeplane should have no issues with opening mind map files edited by Freemind v 0.8.x That eliminated intolerable delay in opening the file. Then, when opened using Freemind v 0.8.x on other system, only closed map will display initially. Highlight central map node (click on node), then close all using minus sign icon on top bar to collapse all nodes beyond first order from central node. ![]() All nodes will be open (forcing display of entire, unfolded mind map). ![]() After last mind map file edit with Freeplane, open the file with Freemind (v 0.9.0). no special text formatting) but becomes intolerably slow in opening them.įound work around for interoperability with Freemind v 0.8.x: On system where Freeplane is used, also install Freemind v 0.9.0 v 6 (or v 7). FreeMind v 0.8.x will work with text files edited by FreePlane (i.e. Also FreeMind & FreePlane use different methods of remembering map displays of open files when shut down. Hyperlinks & multi-line nodes end up differently formatted when using copy/paste between applications. I've found it fairly interoperable with Free Mind v 0.9.0 rc 6 or rc 7 in using the same. I could cut my lawn with a manicure scissors too, but got too lazy using a lawn mower.) Once I get it functional in Linux, I can bid FreeMind farewell. (Gave up finger poking things in many years ago - let the GUI handle it. Still trying to get it work on Linux - only FreeMind v 0.8.x installed there & haven't found "deb" package to install in Ubuntu. With regular install on supporting OS, FreePlane functions O.K. ![]() While I'm still evaluating FreePlane for usability, I'm ready to abandon FreeMind and migrate to FreePlane. I've tried it out a bit for evaluation & found it a solid & stable application that carries the Free Mind look & feel forward. I've had some issues with getting the portable version working with the PApps launcher - related to need for JRE needed to be installed on the supporting OS (similar issue as with FreeMind). A development fork from FreeMind is FreePlane ( ) which looks like a solid Mind Mapping application that already has a portable version available which is supposed to function with the Portable Apps launcher. How about getting Freeplane into apps available for download from PApps website ("Portable App Directory" listing)? & other FreeMind related threads from over the years Ref: forum item "Anyone actively working on FreeMind?"
