[O] Freemind export/import to/from org mode
Hi, I use org-freemind-from-org-mode on the following org file: ---beginning of file--- * Root node ** Parent This is the node's note *** Child ---end of file--- It generates an mm file. I expected the contents of the entries in the org file to be exported as notes of the nodes in the mind map. Instead, they are exported as child nodes whose titles are the notes. As a result, in this example Parent has two children (Child and a note) in the mind map. In fact, if I take the mm file and import it back to org using org-freemind-to-org-mode, I get the following: ---beginning of file--- * Root node ** Parent *** This is the node's note *** Child ---end of file--- Is there a way to export the contents of an entry as notes in the mind map? I face the same problem in the other direction. If I add a note to the mind map and then export it to org, the note does not make it to the org file. I would appreciate any help with these issues. Thanks, Gonzalo

Re: [O] freemind export?
Deas Jambunathan, I found the bug: Windows-Emacs was missing the libxml2 library. I got the libxml2-2.7.8.-w32-bin.zip, copied the content of /bin into Emacs' /bin directory and now the formatting works. I think it would be nice to have the level 0 node (title) formatted as but that can probably done by using the style system. BTW: Freeplane messes the UTF-8 characters up when importing, that's why I use freemind.

It is getting placed rightly. Here is the screenshot of what I get (with no additional customizations at my end). I use freeplane, btw. As for styles, you need to customize your styles in Freemind exporter and move over the XML to ox-freemind.el. If you have a specific question wrt style, I can help.

See the attachment. You can search for right and left in the XML produced. First headline goes right, second headline goes left, third one goes right, so on and so forth.

Re: [O] freemind export?
Thanks here is a part of your mm-xml-code: Sub 1.1 and here is mine, containing no formatting attributes: Sub 1.1 I was not able to change the setting of "org-freemind-style-map-function", didn't understand the syntax. Seems you have another setting there that makes use of your predefined styles. 1. could you send me the variable settings of the exporter in your .emacs? 2. could you send me / or point me to the latest version of ox-freemind.el that you are using? I am not a programmer, so I don't much about what is going on in the lisp code.

my installation of ox-freemind.el: - put ox-freemind.el in list/org - directory - (require 'cl) in init.el - custom settings in initl.el: '(org-export-backends (quote (ascii beamer html icalendar latex freemind))) '(org-freemind-pretty-output t) '(org-freemind-style-map-function (quote org-freemind-style-map--automatic)) run C-c C-e f f in org-buffer open in freemind or freeplane current version (no difference, all branches always placed to the right of main subject).

Re: [O] freemind export?
Does freeplane do the placing or is it due to a POSITION switch in the mm-file? Could you post the exported mm-file please for comparison, please?

[O] freemind export?
Hello, seems the freemind export is no longer supported in org.mode. Though I found the ox-freemind.el somewhere on the net, I am desperately looking for a documentation. I want to position nodes on the left, for example, but I don't know how to pass optional parameters to the converter. Thanks Christof
[O] freemind export
I'm just getting started with org-mode, and I seem to be having an issue with freemind export. None of the structural elements ( http://orgmode.org/manual/Easy-Templates.html) seem to be recognized when exported to freemind (except html). I'm interested in example mode so my pasted text files show up as plain text. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a limitation? P.S., I'm working in windows. Thanks Brian

The solution for now is to avoid using newlines altogether in the node names. This means all node levels will have the same length, but this is ok for me. Sorry for the noise!

[O] Freemind export and import question/suggestion (newlines problem)
Hi, I am trying out the excellent freemind exporter/importer and am running into issues with long node names and newlines. 1) Exporting org to freemind (node name length limitation?) In org-mode, none of the headlines can contain newlines, so occasionaly they get a bit long. This is not a (big) issue in org, but when exorting to freemind, I would like to limit the names to a maximum length, as the mindmap display in freemind need reasonably short node names to give a clear overview. It would be great to be able to do this with the exporter by setting a variable / giving a prefix number. 2) Importing freemind to org (remove newlines?) For now, I have manually split some lines in freemind to get a good mindmap, but then the issue is that when re-importing to org, the headlines are including the newline, hence the org-mode headings are broken. This may be easily done by replacing all newlines in the node name when importing, but being Lisp challenged I cannot find where in org-freemind.el this replacement should be done. 3) Importing freemind to org (centered nodes) I noticed also that nodes in freemind that were centered broke the org import fairly bad by splitting the node name over several lines with blank lines in between. And none of the textual lines were actually displayed as a headline. I don't really have an issue with this, as I can do without changing from the default alignment in freeming, but thought I'd include it in this writeup. If anyone has an idea of how to solve this or could point me in the right direction that would be great! Thanks -- Johnny
