Version 1.4.3 – several bug fixes

November 23, 2009 at 7:50 pm

I released MindNode 1.4.3 and MindNode Pro 1.4.3 today. This release fixes several annoying issues and hopefully also a crash a few users experienced when using iPhone sharing. “Hopefully” because I’m still unable to reproduce this crash and I think I might have found the reason for it. If you still encounter a crash during iPhone sharing, please get in touch!

If you are using Snow Leopard I highly recommend you update to version 10.6.2. In this release Apple finally fixed an issue with the save panel that caused a crash when saving.

Release Notes
(MN, MNP) Fixes a random freeze when working with Thai language (this bug probably also affected other languages).
(MNP) Correctly sets the insertion marker when clicking on a link on Snow Leopard.
(MNP) Fixes smart layout when editing a title and resizing a node.
(MN, MNP) Triple clicking on a node no longer exits edit-mode and correctly selects the entire text.
(MNP) Changed the line connection points of filled nodes. This change is necessary, to avoid covering of nodes, but may change the look of your maps – sorry for this inconvenience.
(MNP) When reconnecting or creating new nodes the filled and constraining style will inherit.
(MN, MNP) Fixes wrong descriptions in export dialog of german and japanese localization.
(MNP) Toggling Smart Layout is now registering undo actions.
(MNP) Find now unfolds found nodes. This fixes a bug where under certain conditions a found node wasn’t correctly displayed.
(MNP) Unfolding a node now selects the entire subbranch. This will make it easier to reposition a newly unfolded subbranch.
(MNP) Fixed the “Choose File…” button of the link inspector
(MNP) Fixed an issue where the header and footer were cut off when printing. The fix made it necessary to increase the printing margins when printing a header and footer.
(MNP) Fixes a crash when using iPhone sharing.

Update 11/26: I was made aware that printing a header and footer is still broken.

    I’m planning to add this feature, but so far haven’t found time to implement it.

    So, I was totally LOVING this application (MindNode Pro) for two and a half hours on a plane ride today, really enjoying the minimalism of this app. In the back of my mind I remembered reading a feedback rating on the AppStore that mentioned lost data. I even remembered reading this blog post about the Save error, but I was on vacation away from broadband and thought I’d wait and upgrade to 10.6.2 at home. Well, I did SAVE AS a couple times as a couple different files but I DID NOT CONFIRM THAT THE FILES WERE CREATED. Later I realized that the APP DID NOT SAVE THE FILES.

    I am STILL in love with this software, but I think it’s CRUCIAL that you put SOME warning on the front page or the DOWNLOAD page INSISTING that people know what they’re risking with Snow Leopard. I think that’s the only fair thing to do. I know I’m not the only person losing data here.

    Keep up the great development though. It’s a great tool.

    Hallo Griffin.

    I’m very sorry to hear of your data loss. This problem appears to be unrelated to the bug in Snow Leopard. The bug in Snow Leopard caused a crash when trying to save.

    Your problem appears to be different. Normally MindNode should open a dialog when a save operation was not successful and normally MindNode should also save the document every minute and if this fails it also report an issue. I’m really not sure what happened in your case. I’ve never heard of a similar bug.

    Could you please check if the file was autosaved to “YOUR_HOME_FOLDER/Library/Autosave Information”!

    I would be very thankful if you could help me localize this issue:
    - does this problem appear every time you save a document?
    - Could you please check the Console.app to see if there is error output in there?

    Markus
