Hello. I must say that after trying quite a number of Mindmapping software, I found MindJet to be the best of breed. A suggestion I would love to see that may benefit others.
Navigating the mindmap from the view pane. Currently, moving the mindmap around involves a very 'windows-like' experience. May I suggest utilizing a similar navigation similar to that of AutoCAD applications? While a small mindmap is not hard to navigate around, a large one is. I find that after using AutoCAD for several years, those guys have it down right.
Essentially, the middle button works like the 'hand' function in Photoshop. Pres it down and you move th virtual paper (mindmap) any direction you please. How does this differ from the current setup? The Hand function bypasses the mouse settings and gives you a real time movement of the actual mindmap and is not sensitive in that if you move the mouse further in one direction, the scrolling accelerates and vice versa. The hand gesture is also mor eintuitive (at least to me) in that you move the 'paper' away from you and not in the direction you want to see.
The scroll also becomes the zoom. I';m able to get to various parts of a large map FAST. scroll out, pan and scroll back in without leaving my mouse nor any cicks (expect middle scroll).
I also believe it would be more intuitive to have the forward and back mouse buttons function as a forward and backward navigation (if I were editting different thoughts). Edit first thought and click on second thought to edit and create a fourth thought. Click back button to go back to second thought to edit (or back button again for first thought)....MindJet memorizes the breadcrumbing.
That would be really neat. Thanks for the consideration and keep up the great work with your applications.
