A great release is to come. We have many exciting new features: WYSIWYG-Editing for nodes and notes, scripting, filter, attributes and many more.
But all these new features still need a lot of testing and documentation. To start this, please have a look at the newest version here and tell us your opinions.
Use this wiki page for documenting the new features.
But: Don't use this version for productive maps. It is not stable enough!
Attributes =
Quick Attribute creation
- select node
- Edit Attribute: Alt-F9 or, Rt-click>Edit attributes
- type in an Attribute name
- then add a value if desired
- edit with the Attribute Manager later if necessary
Using Attribute Manager
- open the attribute manager with attribute icon on toolbar or, Tools>Attribute Manager
Create Attribute
- Click the "Edit" button in the "All Attributes" row
- Type in your Attribute name, then press add
- Repeat to add multiple attributes
- Press "Close" to close the Attribute Edit dialog
- NOTE: This is also the place to delete Attributes
Create Attribute values
- After adding Attributes, you should see them listed under the "Attributes" column heading
- Click on the "Edit" button in the row of your new Attribute and add the values
- type the value name, then press "Add"
- It's a good idea to add a blank value to the list. It helps when assigning attributes later
- Close the Attribute value dialog by pressing the "Close button"
- NOTE: this is the place to delete Attribute values
Every Attribute can have multiple values
- eg. I use an Attribute called "Staff" and the values are the staff person's name
- eg. I use an Attribute called "Priority" and the values are #'s 1 to 5
Assign Attributes to nodes
assigning only a few nodes
- Choose the node, press Alt-F9
- or, Rt-Click the node and choose "Edit Attributes"
assigning many nodes
- got to: Tools>"Assign attributes..."
- choose "Selected Nodes" or "Visible Nodes"
- from the drop down list, choose the Attribute you want to assign
- here it helps when there's a blank value
- you can assign an Attribute to all nodes needing it,
and then set the value later, on a node by node basis
- press the "Add" button to assign the Attribute to the node/s
- add more than one attribute to a node if necessary
- delete attributes from multiple nodes with this dialog
Viewing/Hiding Attributes
to see an icon on nodes with attributes
- Tools>Preferences>Appearance>Show icon for attributes
show all attributes
- Alt-s or, View>Attributes>Show all attributes
show no attributes
- Alt-h or, View>Attributes>Show no attributes

- in the Attribute Manager, select desired Attributes in the "Selected Visible" column
