Now I’ve heard from Ryan Wesley, Freeplane’s project manager, that overall it is pretty stable. With this “hidden” feature boldly proclaimed, it would likely saved me some trouble.Īnyway, I sure do appreciate the hard work you’ve put into this addon to make our lives easier.I’ve been meaning to add Freeplane to for a while, but its alpha status was holding me back. I wanted to try the latest, downloaded and installed the latest but couldn’t (didn’t) find the hidden panel referred to above, so I didn’t think the action list feature was working! Uninstalled and went back to what I could see working.

I wish this was out front !!! I finally found a combination of Freeplane version 1.8 and GTD version 3.0 that worked together very well. The content of the list is similar to the original version.

There is no need for manual updates either, the addon watches all node changes by itself. Just pull or click the right panel to open and you will find the GTD Next Actions tab there. It is integrated within the sidebar of the Freeplane framework since version 3.5 or so. Since it is quite big, I rather not add to the distribution of the add-on, especially, since I would have to mess around with the Java security and OSGI loaders for weeks again to get it off the ground. From the Java 11 coming up this year, going forward, JavaFX will no longer be available.

First the developers using the latest JDKs were affected but it is spreading fast. I looked into them and to my horror found Oracle pulled the plug on the best UI interface Java had and removed JavaFX from the JRE altogether. This is when I started getting weird reports from the users. The list and the map are synchronized, and everything is peaceful, until… As a great addition the addon creates tasks from typed text automatically. It still needed some ugly low-level hacks to work, I managed to pull it through to support Freeplane versions 1.7.x. Also had a few languages supported by some of the users like French, German, Spanish. Not only it had more features, like moving done tasks to review/archive folders at a single keystroke, but icons are displayed in the tasks list, many more configurable features, aliases clipboard copy as formatted text, etc. It more-or less worked, however I needed a few more features, so I decided to take over and add some enhancements, so I can use it for organizing my own daily activities.īy the time v2.0.0 was released the add-on got way smarter. If you like the addon, don’t forget to honor the work put into it by donating to the author. The release is available at the release page, on GitHub and on SourceForge. TL DR Freeplane 3.0.0 is available for testing at the usual places. This is a story of what happened to FreeplaneGTD over the years. It got to be a pretty decent solution over the years, but now there is a major set-back thanks to Oracle’s idea of progress. Over the years I tried adding featured, while following the changes in the main Freeplane developments. It was clunky and ugly using a simple HTML view. It started off as a spin-off of a long abandoned project, that just didn’t cut it. This is just one of those times when it’s easly shown why.įreeplaneGTD has gone over several stages in the past years. I don’t like what Oracle is doing with the IP they get their hands on.
