New Version of Google Wave MindMap Gadget available


I've just updated my Google Wave Mind Map gadget to a new version.  New features include:
  • It renders graphically now, so things are a little prettier
    • It won't work on Firefox versions earlier than 3.0.  If you are running an earlier version I strongly suggest that you upgrade
  • There is now the ability to edit properties, accessable via the properties menu button.
  • There is a context menu that can be used to access the menu, accessible via the Right Mouse button.
  • You can change the colour of nodes. There's also the ability to edit the background colour, but this is currently unused.
  • You can change the outline of nodes:
    • Underline
    • Circle
    • Cloud
  • You can change the direction of layout of the root node. Where is places nodes is a bit random, and I do plan on fixing this
  • You can specify whether nodes are collapsed upon intial view or not.
  • Upload/Download now supports non-ASCII characters, such as Cyrillic
Its not perfect, and there are a few things that need to be fixed, but it is an improvement on the old version so I thought I'd release it. If thre are any problems, please do not hesitate to let me know. I can easily revert it back to the old version if its really broken, or issue quick patches.


I'd be delighted to hear your feedback.
