Hi Michael

I uploaded a screen dump of the Excel capability, it’s actually a MindManager 8 feature:

Phew, that’s a tough one. Sounds like we’d have to embed Google Spreadsheets or something… I suppose XMind just embeds the Excel add-in if installed?

Thanks Michael

I’m glad that you’re so receptive to new ideas. One more, Xmind has a good function that allows the embedding of Excel type spreadsheet that can be worked on/added to actually on the mind map. This is a great way to display information that is best held in an Excel type format.

Steve – thanks for your suggestions, got them through support as well. We’re busy working on innovations all the time, some of the things you mention are already in the making. Also some cool ideas we haven’t thought of yet, cheers!

Quick update re the iPhone app: we just sent out the beta packages to our testers (afraid that all slots have been filled a while ago). Still a few things to fix but the general release shouldn’t be too far away now. Phew.

Just wondered when the next series of innovations will be released for Mindmeister? There is so much potential for the application:

1. Open multiple mindmaps within tabbed windows.
2. Drag and drop between mind maps ie move nodes and their attachments between maps without copying and pasting.
3. Embedded video, click and play, search and add similar to the image adding via a web search capability.
4. Icons to represent attachment types pdf. Word doc etc.
5. Auto arrange for maps, this could offer choices ranging from ‘tight’ for mind maps with all nodes close together and ‘loose’ for nodes being arranged with lots of space in between them.
6. Email to an individual mind map, with each mind map self generating it’s own email address.
7. The ability to cut and paste parts of maps from public examples.

Just a few ideas to enhance what is already a great tool.

Regards

Steve

I love your product, I use it daily. But, on March 4th you were a couple weeks from the IPhone release as well. I’m sure I am not the only person getting a bit frustrated waiting on something that was announced to be completed 3 months ago.

Also can people signup to help you beta test it?
