MindView Documentation
The Timeline Outline
This panel is only used in the Timeline view. It shows all the branches of your map as a
hierarchical list which you can expand and collapse as required.
The Properties dialog
This dialog shows the properties of the MindView element currently selected, for example the
root, a branch or a floating comment. If nothing is selected the properties of the current view
are shown.
See "Using the Properties dialog" for more information.
The Overview panel
The Overview panel allows you to bring the different parts of your map into view.
See "Using the Overview panel" for more information.
The Object list
This lists all the objects placed on the currently selected branch of your map.
See "Using the Object list" for more information.
Resizing panels
To resize a panel, move the pointer on one of its edges until it changes to a double arrow and
drag with the mouse in the required direction.
Undocking panels
The Timeline panel and the Multimedia Catalog panel are always anchored on the right of the
workspace.
All the other panels open by default on the left of the workspace, except for the Text Note editor,
which opens at the bottom.
You can however move any of these panels freely on the workspace or dock them to a different
position:
To undock a panel, just drag its title bar away from its current position until it is completely free,
then let go of the mouse button.
You can also double-click the title bar of the panel to undock it and double-click it again to
redock it. If you want to undock a panel and move it freely on the workspace without it "snapping"
to a docked position, press the Ctrl key and hold it down while dragging the title bar of the panel.
Docking panels
You can dock an undocked panel to the left, top or bottom edge of the workspace as follows:
Drag the title bar of the panel and move it in the direction required until you see the arrow
shapes left , up and down appear on the edges of the workspace.
Drag the panel on top of the required arrow until you see a darker shade of blue outline the
new position. Release the mouse button if you are happy with this new position, else continue
dragging to the required position.
You can also dock a panel above, below or on the side of another panel. To do this:
Drag the title bar of the panel and move it in the direction of the target panel until you see a
three-arrow shape appear.
