There are several plugins delivered with FreeMind 0.8.0 and 0.8.1, including a reminder plugin, a plugin for export to SVG and PDF and a help plugin. If you use the ''max'' version of FreeMind, you have the plugins delivered as part of the distribution, so you do not need to install them manually.

* You need to be using the FreeMind "Max" version to be able to access the plugins (it's great, by the way!).
* Also, there is a bug (in FreeMind v.0.8.0) that means that plugins are not operative if you start FreeMind by clicking on a .mm file that is not in the same folder as FreeMind.

Plugins in 0.8.0

There are several plugins delivered with FreeMind 0.8.0 and 0.8.1, including a reminder plugin, a plugin for export to SVG and PDF and a help plugin. If you use the max version of FreeMind, you have the plugins delivered as part of the distribution, so you do not need to install them manually. The functions that plugins offer are accessible from various menu items.

Plugins delivered with FreeMind 0.8.0:

Plugin: Time Management
Enables adding reminders to nodes. A reminder contains a date and time and is stored with the node it is attached to. FreeMind regularly checks if the date and time is already reached and informs you using blinking icons.
Menu items:
  • Tools > Show Calendar
  • Tools > Show Time Scheduler List
See also Time Management HowTo.
Plugin: Export to SVG and PDF

  • Export > As SVG
Plugin: Help
