Troubleshooting
See Troubleshooting page.
General
Which documentation is available?
A help mindmap is available in the application (menu: Help->Documentation). It is a small documentation mostly suited for reference purposes.
The Freeplane wiki contains extensive documentation, but only on a few topics.
The Freeplane manual is currently under development.
Are there books about Freeplane?
Not yet. But there are a lot books on Mindmapping in general.
German readers might find a book about FreeMind to be useful: "FreeMind kompakt: Besser lernen, verstehen und entscheiden mit dem Open-Source-Mindmapping-Programm."
Why a new project? What made it worth forking from Freemind?
See the article on the Freeplane/FreeMind relationship.
Installation and Configuration
Where is the "user directory"?
The location of the Freeplane user directory can be found by in invoking the menu item Help->About. It's <tt>~/.freeplane</tt> on Linux and <tt>%USERPROFILE%\.freeplane</tt> on Windows.
Note that the user directory of test versions of the coming release 1.2 on Windows is <tt>%APPDATA%\freeplane\1.2</tt>.
Where do I find the log file?
Mainly for advanced features like Scripting you need to know where the log file is located. Find it in the user directory. It's named <tt>log.0</tt> in most cases. If you have more than one Freeplane instance opened then it might have the name <tt>log.1</tt> or even <tt>log.0.1</tt>. The most recently changed file matching the pattern <tt>log.*</tt> will be the one you are looking for.
Note that test versions for the coming 1.2 versions under Windows have a different user directory than the 1.1 series.
