Introduce XMind 2012
Posted on August 14th, 2012 in Featured | 18 Comments »
Hello, everyone. Long time to wait. Today we’ve made XMind new version and the brand-new website available.
new XMind 2012
re-designed Gantt Chart
People like this feature very much although the old one is hard to use. So we improved it. In fact, we really spent much time on this. And we belive the time is worthy.
New Gantt chart supports to modify state/end date, create dependency between tasks and change timeline scale. It also works with the Drilldown feature. When drilling down in the map, gantt chart will focus on this branch only. And more important, XMind will keep enhancing this view to serve you better.
Revision
This is a very helpful feature for students, teachers, project managers, and any person who cares about how he thought things before. Revision offers the opportunity to review how map was days before and even revert back to it. Yes, back to every revision in this map from very beginning.
BTW, this feature is available in XMind free package too. At present, you can just review revisions. In the future, you could be able to do comparison between revisions.
Spellcheck view
After receiving many many requirements, XMind does have a spellcheck view now. This is a free feature. You can open it from menu, “View — Other — General — Spelling“.
It offers the option to scan current sheet or all opened workbooks, and lists the results with entire path in the map. Double-clicking one result will dirently bring you to that topic or note with error. Very simple.
New XMind packages, New business mode
This is a big and important change. Besides XMind Pro Subscription version, there are XMind Plus 2012 and XMind Pro 2012, two life-time versions. Yes, XMind offers the perpetual license now!
Below mind map shows more details of this update. Please review it online or download to read on your computer.

In the meantime, XMind.net has a big change. The overall style is re-designed.

I have one problem with the new Gantt Chart: I have a mindmap with for instance 79 knots. Only 7 of them are tasks, which are connected with dates. In the timeline I want to see only these seven tasks. Otherwise I have to scroll all 79 lines in order to find my tasks.
In the old version the Gantt Chart timeline showed only the tasks connected to dates. How can I hide the lines which ar empty in the timeline?
Congratulations!
XMind is a very good and useful app to me.
Thank you very much for the upgrade.
thank you!
@Holger this will be brought into consideration in next update.
Thank you, because only then GanttChart is usefull for me. In the old version, the entries were sorted first by priority, then by starting date. With no empty lines. That’s just, what is needed.
What is the advantage of the subscription service now that I can have a perpetual license?
Subscription customers can get the free upgrade service before subscription expires. Life-time license customers will pay for big version upgrade. but they have not to.

I completely agree with Holder.
The new gant view is not usable when there are many tasks without date.
I also miss the ability to show task name on chart.
@Mikolaj Even without date, you should be able to see that task on the left outline list. As for that bar view, what do you want xmind do if no date information? Maybe you can share something more here.
Off course I am able to see the task on the outline list.
But I cannot see the whole picture at once, it requires scrolling.
Take a look at this example (there are dozens of nested elements on the mind map, but only a few have dates assigned):

What do you think of option to show task summary on bar view?

does not work … on win7
Maybe it’s too early, but what are the future development targets?
Are you planning a yearly release cycle (or more/less frequent)?
Or a 7-day trial for the Pro/Plus features?
In the earlier version in xmind.net teh public map did not allow cliquing hyperlinks but they were available in the outline view. Cannot find the outline view in this version 2012? Did it disappear?
Hi there,I’m using tesseract in my application but it seems there’s an error with the initialization it closes the application I think that it can’t find the tesserdata folder somehow.I added the “tesserdata” folder to the resources and also added the “basepi.h” and the library yet it doesn’t work it always crashes at this line:
@jpaz Yes, we also update the website design. Now, please can read the outline content in the map page.
@Dwyne XMind has a big version plan next year. As for featuer trial, this is also in schedule.
