Can you remove the Mindjet Connect buttons etc. from MindManager?

Saturday, December 10th, 2011

If you are not using Mindjet Connect with MindManager you can disable the login attempts and hide the toolbar buttons.

Go to File > Options > Mindjet Connect and untick the boxes.  This will stop attempts to connect to Connect on start up.

MindManager Options - Mindjet Connect

You can also remove Mindjet Connect from the status bar.  Right click the bottom bar and untick Mindjet Connect and the Connection Button.

Can you use Mindjet Connect in a browser from your iPad or iPhone?

No – if you use Safari. Flash and Apple don’t mix.

Yes – if you install the Photon Browser. Click the Flash button in the toolbar prior to loading the page with flash in it and this browser switches to an image relaying service.  You can load the Files page but before opening a map, tap the flash icon. The page is browsed by Photon’s computer and the image relayed to your device.  I did not see any reduction in the speed of browsing or image quality (once I increased the bandwidth setting to 3).

Why would you when there is a Mindjet Connect app for the ipad / iPhone? Because the browser has more functionality and will display more content from your desktop maps.

Of course you need to be online for this to work.

Can I be logged into Mindjet Connect on the iPad, MindManager 2012 and Browser at the same time?

Yes.

Why would you?

To see 3 maps
To watch others co-editing whilst preparing a new map on the same project
To check that everything is being updated
To see the differences between the displayed content on the three platforms. MindManager 2012 can have more displayed objects e.g. Alerts, Outlook links – which won’t be visible on other platforms but are still in the map’s database.

Can I use password protected MindManager files in Mindjet Connect or iPad?

No.  Password protected files are not supported based on my trials today.

I created a new map in Connect but I can’t rename the file?

This is what happens for me in the Mindmanager 2012 Desktop Client:

When I open a New Map, right click the map name and then Rename, my typing is not changing the name!

Open the map edit the Central Topic or add a topic and “Save” the map.

Return to the Mindjet Connect Manager window and the map Rename works. :)

How do you invite new users to your Connect account or a map?

This is what happened for me:

  1. In MindManager 2012 Connect desktop client Sharing > Contacts did not open a web page in Firefox, my default browser.  It did in Internet Explorer.  A friend reports it does work for them in Firefox. Maybe I am blocking some functionality with my Firefox settings.
  2. I added a new contact in the Mindjet Connect browser > Contacts page.  It was not available to me in MindManager 2012 Connect desktop client.
  3. I had to repeat the addition of the new contact in the MindManager 2012 Connect desktop client by right clicking the map and using + Share With a New Person. After filling in the screen for the contact and clicking OK there is no new visible contact. But when you press Share, the email to the contact appears.
  4. I am now waiting for my new contact to join me on the map. And they have. :)
  5. When I added a second contact with the process given in 3. They appeared in the list immediately and I felt reassured that I had entered the information correctly.

What happens for you?
