XMind

Collaborative Minds!

Recently, we received an email from our friend Marcin Wudarczyk, CEO of NG Logic, a Warsaw located company. He told us they have almost finished the development of XMindlook, a xmind plugin. This is a very good news. XMindlook is focusing on “Empower your mind map” via Keeping tasks synchronized at all times transparently between MS Outlook and XMind.

After using a few weeks, I think XMindlook is worth for you to take a try, and want to share some my usages:

The first one is about the installment. Please download XMindlook.exe and install xmindlook.exe to the XMind installation folder. If you are using the XMind Portable version, please install xmindlook to “Commons” folder.

When you finish the installment, and launch XMind. You can find that XMindlook has created a new menu named XMindlook, a “XMindlook Registration” under help menu, two toolbar buttons, a new XMindlook page in preferences dialog, and three views in your XMind.

The third point is about the function of these views.

• Categories view is used to add/delete/move/modify the categories and category groups.
• Outlook task view is used to import/export tasks from outlook, sync the tasks with same name, and show unfinished tasks.
• Taskinfo view is used to set the details of every task.

The forth point is XMindlook is not free($49.00), but you can free try 30 days. And it works well with XMind/XMind Pro and MS Outlook 2003/2007/2010.

And Mr Marcin also told us: “I am a heavy user od mind maps and GTD, so the product was made also to satisfy my own needs. This is our first XMind plugin, but hopefully,if you will like it, it will not be the last one. I will be happy to listen to the commuity feedback and continously improve our product to suit your needs, not only mine;) Our goal is to further extend XMind to make it wide-use and feature-rich mind mapping platform.”

At last, I want to say thank you, Mr Marcin. And we hope to see more plugins developed by the third party, no matter simple or big, free or paid. You are welcome!

Here, we collect the most frequently asked questions in last month.

First one is from Nobuo a Japanese user.
“I have two PCs (my office and my home). So, I can ran one Pro version at a time. Should I purchase one license? Or I have to purchase two licenses even though?”

XMind: You only need one subscription code for all your PCs.
Being an XMind Pro user, you should have an XMind account, and then activate/renew your account with subscription code. Then with this activated account,  you can use XMind Pro on any computer which has XMind.

Second question is from Davy a French user and Florian a Germany supportor.
“I would really apreciate to used Xmind Pro even when I don’t have an Internet connection. Can you help me ?”

XMind: Of course, you can use XMind Pro offline.  The solution is:
Enable “Remember me on this computer” in the signin dialog while you signing in with your activated account. Then your XMind Pro will not ask you to sign in before the expiration date.

The last one has been asked by Many users from UK, Singapore, Spain, France, and etc.
“We would like to buy 10, or 30, or 50, please tell us the volume price.”

XMind: Yes, XMind Pro has prepared the volume discount for supporters.

• 10% for 10-20 codes;
• 20% for 21-50 codes;
• 30% for 51-80 codes;
