#NOVAMIND FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
A few too many clicks in our opinion… Don’t worry, it wasn’t too difficult to figure out, but we preferred the ease of use in MindView above the other three Mac mind mapping software tools. MindManager, however, forced us to first open the Inspector, find the attachment and then double-click to view it. MindView has a quick-click view option that is activated by simply hovering the branch attachment icon and clicking your attachment. When attaching files, MindView, MindManager and Novamind were similar and intuitive, but viewing the attachments was what stood out for us. Being able to attach files is very useful in Mac mind mapping software. Let's dig into the features a little deeper. If you like a simplified user interface, then go with MindView. If you like more features and options in your interface, however, MindManager is the choice for you. In the end, making a mind map in Novamind and MindView was pretty similar, kind of like comparing Ford vs.

MindView, however, has solved this problem with a simplified user interface that was packed full of useful features, well organized in a logical and customizable menu structure. Some Mac mind mapping software tools can be overloaded with features, making their interface seem overwhelming. In contrast, working with online tools was a very different experience, which was expected since with most online tools, it takes a while to find your bearings. We loved the keyboard shortcuts in all three tools, they really speed things up. With MindManager, it took a little while longer to get our map going, whereas MindView and Novamind were more intuitive. Just like with any software, it takes a few tries to figure out the interface, and what is what, but after we built out a few branches of the mind map, we were up and running in all three tools.
#NOVAMIND FOR MAC MAC OS#
Since we are comfortable with other Mac OS software, these tools made us feel right at home. We found that all three Mac mind mapping software tools were fairly easy to work with because they all seem to share Mac OS best practices. If there are already entries in DefaultKeyBinding.dict, just add the 4 new mappings above to the main section of your file.First off, how easy is it to make a mind map, because let’s face it if you can't use the software easily than what’s the point, right? "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:" /* Shift + End */ "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:" /* Shift + Home */ "\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:" /* Home */ Create the directory and / or the file if they’re not already there, and make it look like this: I have found a way to “fix” this problem by editing the default keybindings file, ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict. In each case the caret stays where it was.Īs a programmer I find this behaviour to be just plain wrong- I want Home and End to move to the start and end of the current line. In a multi-line document, the Home key scrolls up to the top of the document, and the End key scrolls down to the bottom. By default, they seem to be bound to the viewport, rather than the line of text you are editing.
#NOVAMIND FOR MAC MAC OS X#
The default key bindings for the home and end keys in Mac OS X are different to any other operating system I’ve ever used. It’s laden with features though, maybe this version will be the one that gets me using it regularly? Yet again it looks impressive, although it still has a bewildering array of preferences, inspectors, and nested configuration screens. I haven’t actually bought this because I already own it, but a new version has been released and my 1.2 license still works with it. Why bother creating separate documents? It’s easier to have your whole life linked together in one. I called my first document “Jon’s Development Wiki” but it turns out I’ve just put everything in there. It’s really handy for making notes, as it’s really easy to hyperlink everything together.

I upgraded to the full version the next day, it was so obviously worth the money. VoodooPad is fantastic! I urge you to download a copy of the free version, VoodooPad Lite. It can import images from iPhoto- maybe I should create a library of suitable images there. The only thing I wish it had was a library of images to use for the start image of the map (with mind mapping, it’s recommended to start with a vibrant image in the centre, which should ideally be in at least 3 colours). It’s amazingly easy to use, and you can do some cool text effects with just a few mouse clicks. It imports and exports Mind Manager files as well. I paid just over £50 for my copy of NovaMind, considerably cheaper than Mind Manager. Of course, the rest of the office is using Windows, and those that Mind Map use Mind Manager.
I work for a company which has thankfully embraced Mind Mapping as a valid way of sharing ideas.
Since my earlier post I’ve bought a couple more apps, and upgraded another.
