MindNode 1.0.1 beta 4

April 10, 2008 at 6:51 pm

It’s very interesting to see how much time can be spent redefining and improving the keyboard shortcuts to offer the best interaction experience possible. I think I finally finalized the keyboard mapping. To get 1.0.1 release as soon as possible I removed some of the functionality present in the last beta. My current plan is to release MindNode 1.0.1 over the weekend.

MindNode 1.0.1 beta 4 offers several bug fixes and the following two updates to the keyboard mapping:

  • Enter Edit Mode: Option+Return or simply start typen when only one node is selected (or all selected nodes have the same parent).
  • Create Child Node: Command+Return

Moving to a new server

April 10, 2008 at 12:06 pm

Due to the server problems I experienced yesterday, I’ll be moving my webspace to a new hosting provider. This move won’t be noticeable by users of my site, but comments will be deactivated during this time.

Update: Successfully moved to the new server. Everything seems to work fine.

MindNode 1.0.1 beta 3 (456)

April 7, 2008 at 6:44 pm

New in this build:

  • (New) RTF Export
  • (New) New node attributes related to node title handling. They are made persistant and exposed in the inspector.


I’ll probably move the canvas background attributed to a new tab in a future release.
