Ability to link nodes #36

Open coolkau opened 5 years ago

coolkau commented 5 years ago

Just to second Michael Rupp's comment on the nextcloud store, pasted in below.

It would be really helpful for me to be able to link two nodes. That is a must have feature for me. Ill follow the new versions and hope it will be implemented soon. Because otherwise the app is good looking, easy to use, I'd love to use it.

Original comment with a lot of nice to haves...

I kind of like it. Fairly easy to guess how to use most features. Nice built-in formatting options.

I was disappointed that I can't have 2 main nodes on a single map. Some mind map programs allow the user to post all the concepts prior to any linking. I would have liked to do that with my first map.

I was disappointed that I can't make more than one link. For example, the child of one node is also the child of another node. I had to create an identical child node to represent it, but that's not appropriate because it represents twin children instead of a single child with two parents.

I was disappointed that a sibling node looked identical to a child node in the graphical representation. Seems like it should have had a different connector and been the same formatting as the initial node that it was a sibling from.

It would be cool if the links were adjustable in a way that they could show arrows, or represent a bi-directional flow, or dashed vs solid lines.

Anyway, thanks for making this. It's a cool app.

I would like to support this comment and recommend to use the best from the iMindQ online mind mapping app at https://www.imindq.com.

I second to this comment. It is very helpful to have more than one parent upstream nodes under many circumstances. Pls add this feature, which would greatly improve mindmap.

Great app, but missing this feature... Is there a release plan for this feature ?

ThomasCh666 commented 3 years ago

Highly interested in this as well, would make these maps more than just visually appealing lists. The ability to establish links between nodes from various places is a must have.

Very interested in these features too - especially the ability to link nodes which is crucial. And would also love the ability to import/export from freemind/freeplane.

Any development on these fronts yet?

Very nice app, thank you - just missing a few critical features. Great potential!

This is something implemented in FreePlane. I had to organise a very large plan for a project, and without this it would have been almost-impossible.

We could think of the mindmap a bit like a filesystem. Formally, it's a strict parent-child tree. In practice, without symlinks, it becomes unmaintainable to find yourself :) Ideas in particular are suitable candidates for linking to each other all over the place, without being organisable into a strict hierarchy.

Indeed would be a nice feature to have.
