I realize that there is a way to 'annotate' connections already: add a new Main Node and connect it to each of the two nodes being connected,then you can use it to hold comments about the connection. Maybe not orthodox but it works. Markus, You are quick!

I have no idea. Basically I’m ready for release. I updated the localization and the documentation. But I still don’t like the way the waypoint adjusts when moving a node. I want to change this, but sadly it is giving me a hard time.

Any chance you'd be able to enable a short annotation? I'm thinking that the line indicating a connection is powerful, but would be even more powerful if one could make a short note about the connection. Impossible?Thanks for such fine work. I look forward to final release. I am very keen on the new connections.

I tried many other named suggestions and turn out choose MindNode, since the smooth graphic and motion really helps me to think and get concentrate! Thanks so much for the effort you put to develop this simple but great tool. BTW, when will be the releasing day? :) This is my first touch of mind-mapping app on Mac.

This is what I did: Created new node. Deleted text so I had an empty node. Than I started typing and instead of my default font/fontsize it was Helvetica 12 Just noticed that when a ‘fontbug’.

I'll move it into this group. - Inspector: I actually like the spacing and from what I can tell they have the correct values. The spacing between "Ausrichtung" and the segment control was a localization issue. I redesigned this part to make it easier to localize. -Color: This is a bug. I'll fix it.Great feedback! Thank you!Cheers! Markus Dear Andreas.

Also, the node context menu has too much separators for my taste which make the menu appear a bit too discomposed, maybe you could consider moving "select all" in the same group as the clipboard commands (like Pages does) or remove it alltogether.Inspector: while there are too many groups in the context menu, there are too little in the node inspector :-) I think, separators between the headlines and between "color" and the arrow type selectors would help. The spacing between "Ausrichtung" and the alignment buttons is too narrow (don't know if this is caused by the longer German word or if the English version has the same spacing)One last thing: the Color dialog only colorizes the tree lines, not cross connections. To do that, I have to select the cross connection, open the Node inspector, click on the color and _then_ choose the cross connection's color.Cheers, Andreas Hi Markus,
