An overwhelming task to connect every folder with maps to that tool. The search facility built in to MindManager mitigates this as only searches in MindManager files but it has a fallen behind the times and is a non indexed searched which takes for ever. The Windows search facility is indexed but ignores MindManager files unless you pay for the iFilter. http://www.ifiltershop.com/mindmanager-ifilter.html So I support the sort of index you get with Windows Media Player which would also allow you to display maps by author, category, year etc. I see you are trying to use My Maps tab as the main access point to your maps.
