Comments on: The Big MindMap Conundrum for MindManager http://www.softduit.com/mavenmappersinformation/2008/03/15/the-big-mindmap-conundrum-for-mindmanager/ The Light - Dragon Naturally Speaking and MindManager Coverage in Depth Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:01:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Do Mi Stauber http://www.softduit.com/mavenmappersinformation/2008/03/15/the-big-mindmap-conundrum-for-mindmanager/#comment-572 Do Mi Stauber Mon, 07 Apr 2008 04:52:38 +0000 http://www.softduit.com/mavenmappersinformation/2008/03/15/the-big-mindmap-conundrum-for-mindmanager/#comment-572 I was surprised to hear about your difficulty with large maps. I use Mindgenius and have no trouble managing the large maps I use for business and project planning. The key is the outline-style navigation pane, which is visible at the same time as the map. Its levels are expandable/contractible. When you click on a branch (topic) in the navigation pane, the map centers on that branch. You can move branches around either in the map pane or the navigation pane. This makes it very easy to move around in a large map. I don't know if other mindmapping programs have this feature, but it's a deal-breaker for me. It would be great if Mindmanager added it.

Ever since MindManager 6, I seem to be turning to the hierarchical topic layout more and more. From there, I try to be ruthless in sending rapidly expanding topics to new maps quickly. Hierarchical topics + Ruthless pruning has allowed me to keep rapidly flowering maps manageable.. it just feels like cellular division and biology.

Just paying the bills. :) Hey Lars,

thanks for stopping by and no the ‘personal injury lawyer’ link is not significant. Just paying the bills. :)

Is the "personal injury lawyer" link at the end significant? Results are the hard part, of course… :)

Thanks for all the detail. Is the “personal injury lawyer” link at the end significant?
