Sometimes users find that they cannot open a mind map because it is corrupted. A corrupted mind map can be a result of varied causes, not necessarily caused by a bug in FreeMind.

Methods of recovery:

  1. Find an automatically saved backup version. Such a version you can find in the "<home folder>/.freemind/Map Backup" folder.
  2. Correct the corrupted XML manually, by opening a mind map in a plain-text editor such as Notepad, and checking for non-matched opening "<" characters.
