Changes in the MultiMaps 7.0 (15/03/2023)

This version of MultiMaps introduces some significant changes to the addin’s built-in functionality and workflow design.

1. We removed the following features from MultiMaps as they were not directly related to working with multiple maps:

– The Synchronization module;

– The Links and Attachments feature that was under the My maps button;

– The Macros feature;

– The My Sources feature.

2. We completely redesigned the Data Collection module into three logical activity groups: Pre-Data Collection >> Data Collection >> Post-Data Collection.

Major changes:

• Previously, a user could create unique collection templates but had to define the map locations and add options to each template. Now users can create and store different collection configuration cases and re-use them for any data collection. This functionality is more transparent, robust and flexible than before. For more details, see here.
• Now users can create and save any number of collection sources: maps, folders, and map collections in the Configuration Map. They can easily define them in the collection configurations and insert them into their maps. For more details, see here.
• We have added new express templates functionality to MultiMaps. Users can quickly and efficiently add collection criteria (a topic or a branch with collection criteria) to a map and immediately collect data by these criteria. For more details, see here.
• New collection criteria added – the task costs (general, by resource, total), the resource rate, priority, topic notes text, hyperlinks and attachments.
• Comparison operators (“>”, “>=”, “<“, “<= “) have been added to the macro language for all operators (= collection criteria) with numeric values.
• The user can define the topic attributes that make the topic a task, in the MultiMaps settings.
• The user can now redefine special icons that affect the data collection (No entry, Project, Subproject, etc.).

3. New functions

• Users can now implement powerful Two-factor branch sorting that includes ten criteria. Both manual and macro language operators sorting is possible, allowing users to collect and sort data according to their needs quickly. For more details, see here.
• A new Macro Language Wizard makes it easy for users to use the data collection macro language without learning it.
• New Resource roles functionality improves how users manage Resources and collect Resource-related data. This addition should lead to more exciting and sophisticated results.
• In addition to collect data on a map, the collection results now can be displayed in a separate window, where you can explore collected topics (the topic text, topic notes, and the path to the map that owns the topic), add the desired result topics to the current map, or open the selected topic map.
• Send to map – allows you to send selected topics to the specified branches of the required maps or create new topics in them. In doing so, these map do not need to be opened. Saves your time when collecting and organizing information.

Changes in the MultiMaps 6.0.0.0

• MultiMaps was adapted to MindManager 21.
• Added the Clean command to the “Data collection” group, which allows you to quickly clear a branch of data collection results.
• Common Lists functionality has been greatly improved:
  — now you can create a database for your resources. Among other data, you may save the resource rate – as a result, resource will be added to a map already with this rate;
  — for tag groups, you can assign a “Mutually exclusive” property;
  — you can assign color to tags, and they will be assigned to a map with this color;
  — resources and tags now can not only be moved, but also copied to another groups – for this, while dragging an element, hold the Ctrl key;
  — improved import of resources and tags from the map to Common Lists.

Changes in the MultiMaps 5.0

Global:

MultiMaps is leveled up to a new software platform (framework 4.5) and to a more modern programming language C# 6.0. This made it possible to significantly optimize and speed up its work, as well as to create a strong basis for its future extentions.

MultiMaps is adapted to a high resolution screens (2560×1440 and higher). Now all dialog windows look nice on any monitor.

MultiMaps structure is changed (system folders, databases, registry, etc.)

Bugs fixed:

1. If there are quotes in the Central Topic text, MultiMaps stops collecting data. Fixed.

2. On Macs, data collection templates are sometimes “lost”. Fixed. Data collection on Macs runs correctly.

3. When deleting bookmarks in the “All Bookmarks” window, they are deleted from database, but not from maps where they are located. Fixed.

4. Sometimes for some reason a path to bookmark is lost (= bookmark lost). The reason found, bug fixed.

Changes & improvements:

1. Macros. Now, when you add macros, they are copied to their folder, which allows to share them between different computers with MultiMaps.

2. My Sources. Now, when you add source, you are prompted to copy it into their folder, which allows to share sources between different computers with MultiMaps.

3. Synchronization. Now, to synchronize two topics (two branches), it’s sufficient to set synchronization to the one, and then copy it to the right place in the map, or in another map. Synchronization will be set automatically.

4. Bookmarks:

• adding a new bookmark now is done in a separate dialog window, which is more convenient and more plain than the previous functionality;
• deleting or importing “unknown” bookmarks made more convenient and more plain. Bookmarks are now much easier to manage.

5. Data Collection. Data collection dialogs have become more dynamic and “facile”.

New features:

1. Navigator. Added new functionality My Maps. Hot ticket!

• find and open any map in a few seconds!
• easily identify all your problem maps (different copies of one map, “lost” maps, deleted maps).
• see at a glance all map’s links and attachments. If there are a lot, sort them by their type. Open any link/attachment without going to the topic where it is located. Manage them from one place, rather than walking from topic to topic.

2. Export of settings, databases and folders with MultiMaps templates and resources. Before reinstalling Windows, or when buying new computer, export them and then import them on a new machine. Get an exact copy of all your MultiMaps data. You can find it in MultiMaps Settings.

3. Express bookmarks. Now you can with one click place express bookmarks in a floating window and hold it anywhere on the screen. Your speed on the large maps grows several times!

4. Map Content. Now you can virtually sort all topics of the selected branch or even all topics in the map (arrange them alphabetically in the Map Content window).

5. Data Collection:

• now you can collect topics with specified topic properties;
• Progress and Effort criteria can be stated directly on collection topic;
• now you can add keywords to the config map to collect data by Priority and Progress;
• added new data collection options. Now you can customize data collection even more flexibly.

And last one:

The Tracking module has stopped his work. In MindManager 18 and 19, map topics have become very “smart”. The automatic coloring of map topics by a huge number of criteria has came into an irrepressible conflict with their coloring by Tracking module.
