Mindmap: Circular connections, groups inside/overlapping groups

[Evrey]

Hello there!

While experimenting with the early bird features, i stumbled upon these two missing pieces that i’d need to move away from paper notes:

• Have connections between multiple nodes run in circles, i.e. have two nodes share two or more child nodes.
• Put a group of nodes inside yet another group, ideally with the ability to overlap multiple groups like some kinda Venn diagram.

I’m not sure how it’d best work to put a group partially on top of one, then also partially on top of another. An example for such a linkage would be a group »main characters«, overlapping on one side with »faction 1«, and on the other side with »faction 2«.

However, as for circular connections… The mindmap editor can already multi-select nodes by holding Ctrl. A solution could be that selecting two nodes, then clicking »add child« adds a shared child node between the two, while clicking »add sibling« connects the selected nodes directly.

Basically i’d like to be able to model my character relations like that »state of the realm« chart in Final Fantasy XVI:

Iunno whether that’s already in planning, so…

Agreed!

Also, ability to import images would be awesome

Or linking nodes to character sheets or location sheets or something-something. Yeah, there’s a lot of neat things that can be added over time.
