Although there are no menus and toolbars, we can use shortcut keys + right-click menu to add visual information such as contacts, frames, outlines, labels, icons, etc.

Proper use of timers can help us improve work efficiency, especially in meetings. It can stimulate the thinking of friends and come up with good ideas accidentally.

Demo mode

The XMIND presentation mode displays the current mind map in full screen on your computer screen. At the same time, only the selected topic will be highlighted in the center of the screen. You can use shortcut keys to complete all operations, such as viewing, browsing, editing, etc.

Drill up and drill down

The drill-up and drill-down functions of XMIND software allow you to focus on a certain branch of the mind map more conveniently. When you select a topic and drill down (shortcut key F6), the topic and its subtopics will appear in a new diagram with it as the central topic, but this is only a temporary state. You can return to the original image by drilling up, or save the image in this state as a new file.

Export

The software supports the export of multiple file formats, such as FreeMind, pictures (BMP, PNG, JPG), plain text files (.txt), HTML files, etc. In the enhanced version of XMIND, you can also export mind maps to more formats, such as MindManager files, vector graphics (SVG), PDF documents or mind maps, Microsoft Office Suite Word/PPT presentation files/Excel table files, etc.

XMind FAQ

   Question1. XMind prompts to solve the problem of invalid installation configuration path

When installing XMind, some children encountered an incorrect installation prompt. This article will explain the error prompt Invalid Configuration Location when installing XMind.

Problem description:

The following error window appears during installation, prompting Invalid Configuration Location.

Problem analysis:

1. Most of them are Win64-bit operating systems but choose to install the 32-bit XMind software, which is incompatible (generally 64-bit systems are compatible with 32-bit systems, but some software is not optimized). This is not a serious problem, it is just caused by the inconsistency between the configuration of the software XMind and the configuration of the computer system. Just re-download the 64-bit software.

​​ 2. In the past Vista system, the "Application Data" file was used to temporarily store user temporary data, but now Win7 or Win8 mostly uses the "AppData/Roaming" file. The two are equivalent, only some software is not optimized. Therefore, we only need to make a slight modification and update the software configuration file to point to the "AppData/Roaming" file.

      Problem solving:

​ ​ 1. Right-click XMind to open properties and find the location of the XMind installation package, or you can directly open the XMind installation package folder.

​ 2. Use Notepad to open two files: "XMind.ini" and "XMind-original.ini".
