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.
New in this build:
I’ll probably move the canvas background attributed to a new tab in a future release.
This new beta build features an entire rewrite of the way node titles are handled and drawn.
1.0.1 Release Notes
When I first tried to add a MindNode listing to the software tracker tucows and the interface told me that it will take about 1500+ days for my listing to appear, I thought this was a serious glitch in the software. But when I checked again, nothing had changed. I did some research on the internet and it reviled that you really have to pay $50 for every update to your listing or else you have no real chance to be listed. I guess this is one of the websites to ignore in the future.
I updated the keyboard shortcuts in this release. Please let me know what you think of the new mapping! I’m not very happy with the mapping of the Enter-key. Perhaps I will switch the shortcut for “Enter title edit mode” and “Create new sibling node”.
(New) New Shortcuts (Shortcut may change in 1.0.1 final).
(New) Cycle root nodes.
(Update) Major Update to the way Spotlight meta data is handled (Values are commited correctly, it’s possible to undo changes and the document is marked as edited).
(Update) I’m starting to use Undo action names.
(Update) When changing the selection with the keyboard the scroll view will scroll to display the node if required.
(Fix) ESC aborts title editing and restores original node title.
(Fix) Root Node dash style is drawn correctly.
(Fix) Undo when editing node title.
(Fix) Substitution Menu removed.

I got several requests regarding my use of shortcuts in MindNode 1.0. A lot of people don’t like my keyboard mapping and I understand that it’s a very bad idea to change it shortly after a 1.0 release. But after spending a lot of time talking with users and thinking about this topic, I decided to update my shortcuts in 1.0.1.
So what will change:
This new mapping is open for discussion and please let me know what you think of it. I attached the entire key mapping of my application as a pdf file to this posting.
For clarification:
Command Key = Apple Key
Option Key = Alt Key
Bold = change from 1.0 keyboard mapping
This was a very pleasant surprise when I wake up this morning: Apple is featuring MindNode as a staff pick on Apple Downloads. I’m very flattered and would like to thank the guys at Apple Downloads!
I just released MindNode 1.0. I would like to thank everybody who provided feedback, reported bugs and suggested features during the long beta periode.
I had to change a few things related to text entering but hopefully this release is stable and will become MindNode 1.0.
Core Version
I had to rewrite the Spotlight and QuickLook PlugIns. To work correctly, documents created with previous versions need to be re-saved.
PLEASE contact me if you experience a crash or a serious bug! Thank you!
