Do more with the thought appearances.
Hi,
Being a veteran mindmap builder I like to put lots of colours in my brains. Especially the text colours of thoughts I like to differentiate a lot (as well as the background colours).
A couple of things bother me on that level:
First: The labels can't have the colour of the thought (...or a different colour)
Second: In the notes area of a thought, it's name and label are not inheriting the allocated colours of the thought text.This would greatly enhance the unity feeling of the whole. You can choose for hero icons in the note but it…

Restore Built In Screenshot Capture in v15
Several longtime users miss the old built in screenshot / Insert Image workflow.
The current OS screenshot method works, but it does not feel equal for heavy screenshot users. What used to be one smooth action inside TheBrain now takes more clicks and keypresses, sometimes turning into three or four steps depending on the user’s setup.
For users who capture images while thinking, writing, researching, or building notes, those extra steps break their flow and slow down a workflow they had built into TheBrain for years.
Please consider restoring a direct built in screenshot capture option in TheBrain 15, so…

Allow embedding attached images in the Note
Say I create a thought for the new microwave I just bought. I drag a photo into the thought as an attachment, along with a PDF receipt and maybe an email or two. Now, within the note, I'd like to see the photo, not just in the list of attachments. At one point, I would just create a Markdown link to the image like this:
That worked for a while, but doesn't now. When I add that markup, the brackets end up escaped, .e.g:
`!\[\](my-new-microwave.jpg)`Currently, the only way I know how to it is to drag/paste a copy…

Manually set thought creation date
When creating a new thought, or pasting an older thought after copying, it would be massively liberating for workflow to be able to set a toggle to manually define thought date.

Make TheBrain dual screen compatible
Hi, I looked into the roadmap for version 15 and didn't see anything about dual screen support for TheBrain. Let me clarify, of course you can have two screens installed and have TheBrain running. But you can't choose to have the plex on one screen and the notes on another. This way you would be able to expand the visual interaction with both areas to the max.
I know there is a lot of people out there that are working on multiple screens, wouldn't it be a great idea to have TheBrain expand across your entire screen(s) field? No more…14 votes -
Open notes in separate window from plex
I would like the option of opening the notes section in a separate window on my second screen instead of having it attached to the side of the plex in the same window.
This is somewhat possible now with opening a second window of the brain and maximizing the notes on there, but when I navigate to a different thought, I then have to navigate on both windows separately, which is a pain. I have not found any way or information about splitting the two otherwise.

Viewing Images in notes independenly
I like to collect screenshots in my notes. Which is useful because it allows me to comment individual shots in one note. All is well and works fine - but I sometimes run into readability problems when TB isn't fullscreen or my notes panes it too small. It would be great if the context menu for images had an option to quickly zoom them out, show them in original size.

Support for Markdown code block language identifier
The integrated text editor ("Edit as text") supports the code block language identifier (language tag / info string):
```json { "a": 42 } ```But after saving and exiting the editor, the closing fence is stripped:
```json { "a": 42 }and markup is broken.
This behavior destruct markdown markup in pasted text.

Set Categories for Events
It would be nice to set categories for events that we can inherit colours for.
Currently I have to remember meetings = orange, holidays = green etc.I'd like the ability to specify categories (or types, but not linked to Thought Types) for events so I don't have to remember or manually assign the color.

Add the Ability to Pin the Note Preview
Currently we have the ability to preview the notes by mousing over the note icon on thoughts.
This request is to add the ability to pin or make permanent on drag.
Example usage, I want to compare two or three notes:
I mouseover the note I want first, drag and the note preview becomes a window that has to be closed (normal window buttons appear on the top right). I do this to other notes and compare them.2 votes -
Rename Notes.md files to match the thought's name
I often use tools other than TheBrain to search the notes in my Brain. The problem is that if I'm searching in, say the Mac's Finder, the search result is nothing but a list of Notes.md files. (see attached)
I would love it if those files could be named in some way that they could be more easily identifed.

report results should not have a 1000-hits limit but should show all results
In TB 14 the reports do not have a limit: all thoughts fulfilling the search criteria are shown.
In TB 15 there is a limit and only 1000 results are shown and it is not clear what criterion is for choosing which thoughts are displayed.

additional integration of the free version of the Mistral-Vibe AI (fast) Chat-Software, GDPR-compliant
We need and use alternatives to ChatGPT and Anthropic (BigTech models) in Europe, which is why I suggest integrating Mistral-Vibe with TheBrain.
https://mistral.ai/products/vibe/
The French product Mistral-Vibe is GDPR-compliant and offers a wide range of user features even in the free version (custom agents, reminder function, connectors, libraries, etc.) for organizing projects in Mistral. This approach seems to align very well with TheBrain.
It is likely slightly inferior to ChatGPT and Anthropic in terms of model performance. However, for the average user, the functionality is more than sufficient and satisfying, and it is one of the fastest AI chat programs…4 votes -
Deep linking
One of the interesting features of Obsidian (and some other stuff) is the ability to deep-link to specific paragraphs of notes. I can write a note and link a statement to a paragraph in another note. Or, even transclude that other-note paragraph into the note I am writing.
In addition to this, other aspects of deep linking needed in TheBrain include:
~ Section anchors that would correspond with the existing section headers used in the TOC
~ Bookmarks that could be placed at the paragraph level
~ Transclusions (amazing!)Please add these deep linking features to TheBrain? For me it's…

Option to sort the search results according to date accessed etc.
At the moment I am not sure how the search results that the search/create field returns are sorted. To me the search order does not make much sense and the thought that I search is somewhere in the middle hidden between thoughts that are not relevant.
It would be nice to be able to choose the sort order according to date accessed or alphabetically. Additional options could be relevant for other users.3 votes -
Implement the possibility for choosing how report results are sorted
At the moment it is not clear to me how the thoughts in the result for reports are ordered.
I would like to be able to sort them alphabetically, or according to date created/modified/accessed.3 votes -

Dynamic LLM Switching
It would be very cool to be able to switch between:
Cerebro TheBrain LLM utility
API via (multiple) user LLM accounts
Local API for offline LLM useThe switching should be:
Online Cerebro running out of periodic token quota
Cerebro triggered by saved script or real time instruction
Cerebro triggered by conditional triggers or automatic on user defined triggers
Button toggled by sidebar / topbar button, sequence entries user definedReference:
