What is an Add-on?
Particular preferences of Freeplane are installable and kept in the Freeplane user directory (see Tools->Open user directory).. You can think of:
- scripts
- preferences,
- translations for menu items, config options etc.,
- keyboard shortcuts (scripts only),
- script permissions (per script).
An add-on is a package of some or all of these features, which can be installed at once.
Installing an add-on
The add-on has the form of a mind map. To install the package you simply download the mind map and follow the procedure:
1. copy the link location of the download links (use context menu of your web browser). 2. Open the Manage Add-ons dialog via Tools->Add-ons. 3. Enter the copied link in the text field at the bottom of the dialog. 4. Click on Install. 5. Restart Freeplane.
You will find the new command in the menu. (For instance "Insert Inline Image" can be found under Edit->Node extensions and it will have the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+i.)
Here are the first packages, for use with preview versions only:
Add-on Insert Inline Image
This script asks for an URL and inserts an HTML <img> tag at the end of the node's text. If the node is not already an HTML node it will be converted. Known from the example scripts page. The new menu item can be found under Edit->Extensions and it is bound to Control+Shift+i.
Add-on Developer Tools
This add-on collects some utilities that script and/or add-on developers will find useful. The new functions are available under Tools -> Development Tools. Among other:
- Check Add-on: Adds all standard nodes, attributes and notes to the current map. Can be used with an empty Map to create an add-on skeleton.
- Release Add-on: It copies the <addon>.mm to <addon>-<version>.mm and updates the script node's context from the files lying around.
- freeplane.dsld: Adds Eclipse editor support for predefined script bindings such as node, c, ui, textUtils, ...
- Insert Binary: Asks for a file to insert as text of the current node (BASE64 encoded).
Add-on Example Theme
This little theme add-on installs the old link icons (Link.png and LinkLocal.png).
