AS - importer for xmind - "released" :)
Hello there,
I was looking for quite a while for an importer for mindmaps from xmind. Since there wasn't any solution available I just started with applescript from scratch last weekend. The files are compressed xml-files. So it's possible to adopt this also for freemind. status: parsing handlers are finished, unzipping the xmap-files pending handlers for importing prepared (projects, tasks, linked files) I'm totally new to applescript. So if anyone has interest to join or support - please contact me. Furthermore - I think, I'll provide the script here for reviewing, to get a slim and effective script. regards Udo p.s. I also think about a exporter to xmind. Any other suggestions / ideas ? |

So here's my script finally
I would really appreciate if someone could have a look at it regarding performance improving. Thanks in advance. |
This is great! I just downloaded it and will give it a try. I am not an applescript programmer at all. Although i do know several other languages.
I just noticed this was for OmniFocus... while this is interesting, I would love to get my maps into OmniGraffle. |
Great work, Udo – I'm very impressed how you pulled data from the XMind file. This script will make it possible for me to brainstorm project structures more effectively. Please do post any updates here!
Note to others: for the script to work, you'll need to create a folder that matches the import_folder property in the script. I renamed it to "XMind" for the sake of simplicity. Also, [URL="http://bylr.net/3/2008/05/brainstorm-in-xmind-work-in-omnifocus/"]blogged[/URL]. :) |
Dan,
thanks! Regarding your email - I was also thinking to create a folder for a project. (would mean a subfolder to the import-folder) Furthermore, for "big" projects I need to implement the possibilty to import all the sheets of a xmind file. [U]todo items are:[/U] - assignment of context (considering already available ones) - import all sheets of a xmind-file - improve processing speed (maybe through using terms of) I think I'll also create a script for freemind. Input, ideas, requests - all welcome. Udo |
Do you have an updated version of your XMind import script? I would love to play around with it!
How do I use it? I have never used scripts with Omnifocus... Edited... Well I figured out how to use it. However, it does not seem to work. I am trying to debug it but my applescript is weak at best. |

Hi,
actually it have been a while. Unfortunately I didn't had the time to update the script. But since there is still interest in that one, I'll see what I can accomplish. I think I'll find some time at the weekend to review the script and the todos. Thanks for the feedback. bye Udo |
This is very interesting and I will try it out and give you feedback for ideas and observations. Excellent idea.

GrowHelperApp.app
The script is asking me to locate the GrowHelperApp.app
I tried using spotlight to find it but unable to locate it. Is there something I missed? |
