XMIND 2008 v2.3 features MindManager integration
Mango Software has just announced the launch of XMIND 2008 version 2.3, which enables XMIND users to import maps from MindManager, as well as export XMIND maps to the native MindManager file format. According to the updates page, apparently XMIND could import MindManager files before, but not without some problems. The process has been improved, so map layout, relationships, boundaries and other map enhancements can be reliably imported into XMIND, with all of the details intact.
XMIND 2008 v2.3 also features some enhancements to the map filter. By default, no map markers or labels are selected by default, so your entire map is displayed. Clicking on a map marker or label immediately filters your map's contents to show only those topics that are so marked. Selecting additional marker or label continues to add them to the filter. Clicking on the "remove filter" button returns you to a full map view.
Finally version 2.3 contains some improvements to map printing, including measuring margins by metric (mm) or English (inch) measurements.
For more information about this major update, please view the XMIND news page.
The latest release also features a built-in web browser.
I can see where this could be handy, but unfortunately there is currently no option to choose to have hyperlinks rather open in your normal browser. I found this very offsetting, as I want links in my map to open inside tabs in Firefox, alongside my other research. (The XMIND browser doesn't support tabs)
