  1. When watching presentations in meetings or webinars, I often want to repeatedly screen capture into notes. Sometimes slides are moving fast and I don't have time to drag the screen shot window evertime.
    As a user, I would like to have a command that Repeats Previous Screenshot and adds to current note.

    This is discussed here

  2. When using the Redo function in the AI assitant of the notes editor it would be helpful to have access to the last prompt entered. Often a Redo implies a change or refinement of the last prompt. Currently one has to reenter the complete previous prompt (and to remember the exact previous wording).

  4. The 'workaround' of taking a screenshot and printing it is NOT suitable. I want to be able to natively print the mind map, several levels deep, on to A3 so it can be added to hardcopy report packs. To get all levels in a screen shot means zooming out, and then taking the screenshot, pasting it into something else and then scale it up to A3. This results in a really poor quality output.

  5. If not explicitly overridden subtypes inherit the attributes (i.e. color, icon) of their super type.
    The same should happen with tags and subtags.

    1. Have a text box to add some text at the bottom of AI generated content. For me it would be "Generated by $model on $date". Ideally those would fill in

    2. For Length of AI, a slider is not a good interface. Replace with Radio buttons giving easy access to different lengths. See screen shot
      https://forums.thebrain.com/post/feedback-word-count-on-ai-9841-9930-9931-12744381

    3. Add a checkbox to optionally have AI add a Wikipedia link and maybe some other common ones. I often type this in and its helpful to get this link automatically.

  7. Get TheBrain to work with Vivaldi browser. Cannot drag urls or get the Brainbox to work. Have to switch to Firefox every time.

  8. For a thought type - e.g. Citation I would like to have a citation MD which will be preperated like a formula
    Author:
    Titel:
    Pages
    etc.

    This should be the default MD for the specific type.

    Or a possibility to create Default MDs for special thoughts, which could be added via Add Attachment/Add Special MD File. The default blank MD File should be replaced with this special md file

    The default MD file should be replaced, with the MD type file, because I would like to see it clicking on the thought without the necessity of a further selection.

  10. Make the text

    "Do you have an idea for TheBrain? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? Contribute your ideas and vote for your favorites. Your feedback will help shape the future."

    a tooltip for the "Suggest new Feature" button on the forum pages.

  12. I am not comfortable with the work flow of BrainBox. I suggest having two right click options (or left click options), one for Add to Brainbox and one for Select Parent thought. This allows the user to chose AT THE TIME OF ACTION, rather than having had to remember to set the setting on the last usage. I do not want Vulcan to open if possible, I would just want a search box, but understand if that can't happen. When using the Extension, I don't want to "be in The Brain", I want to be moving on to the next…

  13. We can assign backgrounds to thoughts using the Typing system (meh), but you have to be careful that all backgrounds work with within the applied theme (or else your text might become ineligible). That's because the theme is applied globally, while backgrounds are not.

    The solution is to allow themes on a finer grained scale, like at the typing system level (to match backgrounds as it work now) or on selected thoughts basis.

  14. It would be helpful to add the usual "X" button for "Close Window" to the pop-up windows of the commands "Add Attachment/Add from Brainbox..." and "Add Attachmen/Add File from Template...". I know, one can use ESC, but having a "X" button for closing a window is an almost universal standard that everybody knows.

  15. I only see this in Workflowy and for me and many of my colleagues it works extremely well. I do hope my "burning the midnight oil" doesn't make this idea seem totally silly. Oh boy!
