Meanwhile I’ll keep using it in my day job and enhancing it. MindNode’s developer has been aggressively updating the application culminating in today’s update. I’m open to contributions, bug reports, and ideas. This update puts MindNode on an equal footing with iThoughts HD for me, which is saying something. If you are interested in using it or, still better, contributing the project is on Github: My employer (IBM) has given me permission to create an Open Source project for filterCSV - using the MIT licence. So I’ve got it to the state where I want wanted to Open Source it. (The backslash character \ is really handy for this.) In my day job I’m creating bash scripts with each matching criterion on a separate line - as I try out matches. (Craig Scott, the iThoughts developer, kindly gave me the RGB values for the palette.) The idea is that any nodes in the mind map matching a specific regular expression get coloured with a specific colour. Where ^ABCD is a regular expression to match the text of the node and 3 is the third colour in the iThoughts palette. It’s a Python 3 command line tool with syntax such as: I’m actually using filterCSV in my day job - so I know it works for me. I think these capabilities could be quite useful for users of iThoughts, Freemind and MindNode, particularly as I built in export to OPML and import from Markdown bulleted lists. So I built filterCSV to enable me to do that and a whole lot besides. For example, I wanted to use regular expression matches to colour nodes. I wanted a way to usefully manipulate the CSV files I pull into iThoughts before I pull them in. I’m a long time user of iThoughts, with code that generates CSV files to pull into iThoughts. I thought about putting this on the Mac Power Users Forum but think it a slightly better fit here.
