Importing/exporting to FreeMind
Hello,
The list format just doesn't do it for me (I like to visualize). I use FreeMind (mindmapping software) a lot and would love to be able to import and export .mm files into/out of OmniFocus. Is there any hope in that being possible ? Or even OmniFocus integrating a mindmapping-like functionality ? Thanks, Axel Ronsin Paris, France |
The immediately available migration route would be through OPML and Omnioutliner professional.
The Freemind accessories folder includes XSL templates for MM <--> OPML conversion. (opml2mm.xsl and mm2opml.xsl) Omnioutliner opens and saves as OPML. Omnifocus opens Omnioutliner professional files. To export from OF to OOP you can use [URL="http://web.mac.com/robinfrancistrew/Site/OF2Omnioutliner.html"]this script[/URL]. All of this could be automated, in both directions, through a pair of shell scripts. |
Thanks for the detailled response
Thank you, RobTrew.
I will try that. |
Worked for me
I wasn't sure where to find that "accessories" folder. It's in the actual application package and I had to right-click the application icon in finder, select "show package contents" and then browse through the folders. I copied the files to a more easily accessible location so I could reference them for the XSLT export. Thanks! This might be good for project brainstorming in freemind then exporting to Omnioutliner and/or Omnifocus when the project has ripened.

How I use a XSL template? tks |
[QUOTE=roframor;84442]How do I use an XSL template?[/QUOTE]
The simplest use would be from the Freemind menu system: File > Export > UsingXSLT ... > choose XSL file etc. (More generally, there are various XSLT processors - you could start by experimenting with something like [URL="http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/welcome.html#testxslt"]TestXSLT[/URL]) |
