1. Train of Thoughts

   Wander through a selection of thoughts. The wander speed between different thoughts of the train can be set. Ideal to give presentations! We just need a specific thought type that registers the selection and wander speed.

2. keywords field in P&A to hold aliases

   Add a Keywords field to Properties & Attachments to store keywords, aka aliases. Keywords in this field to be available to Instant Search.

   Even better, P&A to be added to Create Child Dialog box so all data can be entered before new thought created, not afterwards.

3. Offline Mode

   Have PB operate in offline mode automatically or by a setting:

   I use PB on my laptop and my work brain has several thoughts that point to network resources. When I use the brain undocked, it freezes for almost 1 minute when accessing a parent thought that may have child thoughts pointing to network files or directories.

   I'm not sure if this is actually a bug or flaw but I have contacted support and they just acknowledged this happens. However, this makes my most important brain virtually unusable undocked and off the network.

5. preference: open attachments without Thought activation

   Sometimes, when I am working under a central Thought, I want to open an E-mail attached or invoke a program linked to another distant Thought. Then I use instant activation search. But I need to go back after opening the wanted attachment.
   In such a situation, a setting of opening attachments without Thought activation can make it quicker--"two clicks saved". A "Shift+Click" or "Ctrl+Click" way can be used to achieve this.

6. dynamic Thoughts

   While using PersonalBrain, we add and update Thoughts manually. If we have dynamic Thoughts, these tasks may be done automatically. Here I mean Thoughts with code binded: a function in an external dll or exe executed periodically.
   When the corresponding code is executed, result is returned as a predefined xml file, then content in the file added to the Thought as its children. Before adding the new Thoughts, a dialogue can show up for overwrite or keep existing Thoughts.

   In 5.5, long names show on multiple lines during mouseover.

8. Add back and forward navigation to the right click

   It would be very helpful to have a Back and Forward in the right-click menu on empty space in the plex. Often times i simply need to move back to my last thought and find myself right-clicking like I do in FireFox and IE. I am not fond of going to the upper left corner of the toolbar to hit the back arrow each time in PB or my browsers.

9. Index thoughts in Spotlight

   I've read in several places that "Spotlight integration is already completed in version 5.0.0.9", but that's not true. Yes, you can search Spotlight -from- PB. But you could do that the long way already: by going all the way up to the Spotlight icon on the menu bar...

   The more interesting integration is the other way round! I want to find my PB thoughts in Spotlight, the same way I find address cards, e-mails, and documents today. As of 5.0.2, you index the attachments, but not the thoughts themselves.

   Please index the thoughts!

   Unfortunately, the architecture of Spotlight requires a file to be created for every item that it indexes. This would mean creating a “dummy” file for every thought…

10. Tagging virtual thoughts/folders

    I suspect that many users, like myself, have large amounts of information on external hard drives and other storage devices. These data can be connected to thoughts in the Personal Brain as virtual folders but the ease of working with virtual folders is limited because they cannot be assigned thought types, tags, or icons. I would like to find out whether at least the tagging feature can be added to virtual thoughts to facilitate managing information stored externally.

11. blank screen

    What about a command for apple laptops that allows the screen to be blacked out between slides while using the Brain in presentations? It's somewhat distracting to keep it up between slides.

14. Reward Users with winning Brain Improvement Ideas!

    We all want The Brain to succeed in the Mind Mapping arena and to continually improve incorporating many of our "suggestions". Many improvement ideas are so good that they could give competitive advantage to other products. I think that Brain Technologies, should recognize and reward the winning ideas and when a new updated version of the Brain comes out, upgrade the few users that contributed to its continued success with FREE Brain license.

16. Arrange thoughts by Label as well as by Name, etc.

    Add "Label" to Arrange Thoughts by menu so I can order thoughts as I please by cleverly filling the label field. I also suggest having multiple and numbered Label fields (e.g., Label 1, Label 2, etc. and being able to arrange thoughts by any one of these fields. All non-blank label fields will be displayed on mouse-over.

17. Search x then y

    When "crawling the brain" you cannot set the search path finely enough. For example scenario #2 in this post cannot be done:

    http://thebrain.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/129320-search-within-x-hops-of-active-thought

    Here what I would like to be able to do:

    Start searching the children of a given active node. And then I would like that search path to crawl the children's jump and parent nodes (excluding the active node). Current the system is limited to crawling only one set of directions. Unfortunately if I want to crawl and find other alternate parents of the child nodes of an active node it cannot be done. This is also true of jump nodes.

    So for example if I have the following:

    • an active node with 10,000 children.
    • of those 10,000 children 300 of them have parents other than the active node
    • of those 10,000 children 500 of them have jump nodes

    I cannot search the 300 parents or the 500 jump nodes.

    I am requesting that the "crawl" function be expanded to work in this way. There are so many situations in which I have an active node and I know I need to search an area of the brain that is a child area in relation to that active node. But I certainly don't want to limit my results by only the children of the children. I merely want to limit the start of my search by the children of the active node. In other words I want to point the search in the right direction, have it take the right "freeway exit", go down the right irrigation channel, take the right hiking trail at a divergence in the woods, etc. (hopefully you get the idea). Beyond that first hop I would like to search everything, or optionally search one or more link types. I think this logic is fairly straight forward, just give the brain a starting direction.

    Consider this scenario:

    • an active node with 10,000 children
    • of those 10,000 children 300 of them have parents other than the active node
    • the alternate parents of those 300 children have an additional 100 children

    I want to include those 100 children in my search. They are only 3 hops away, in the correct area of the brain that I want. If I could point the brain in the right direction (children of the active node) and then let it search both children and parents I would find those 100 children. Naturally you would have to build in the logic to track the path and exclude nodes from previous hops from the search path in order to prevent circular searching. But that is merely an implementation detail, easy for computers to handle. I think the idea here is fairly clear and logical. Let me know if it is not.

    In the end what I am trying to accomplish is to search an "area" of the brain. Currently area searches either exclude or include too much data making them useful only with limited data structures (namely simple hierarchy). Data structures that are more complex (yet still divided into general "areas") are difficult to search because the results are not accurate, usually there are nodes in the area that don't get searched at all. This makes the current "crawl" feature useless in many cases.

    So here is the deal, you have built a tool that is designed to allow infinite cross linking of nodes. You have set the system up to handle non-hierarchical and hierarchical systems intermeshed in complex ways. In other words, your software handles the messy relationships that other software companies don't want to touch. So why is your search function like the other guys? Why are you cutting off access to the very thing that makes you guys better than everyone else? Leverage what you already have, relationships. Upgrade the search and let me search my digital brain the way I search my real biological one.

    Cheers.

18. Grease Marker with Image Export

    It would be very handy to be able to freeze a brain view and use a grease marker / highlighter (multiple colors and line styles). This view could then be saved (like expanded views are) with the markings for future reference. Ideally the view could be saved as an image as well.

20. Open multiple URLs simultaneously

    Firefox has "Open all in tabs" feature. One of my Brains is a Bookmarks Manager, useful because no other BM is multiparent, so I'd like to be able to hang several URLs off a Thought, then open them all with one click. Maybe set up Shift+click or Ctrl+click to do this?
