Hi Wes
One of the more powerful features of mindgenius is the caregory system - they are one of the few who provide nested categories - you might call them category groups - but nesting is not limited) - so in a sense there is similar categorization power as infohandler, maybe more, - and like infohandler you can filter items with an arbitrarily complex category intersection. The filters take a little more effort than IH to create, but they can then be saved and reused thereafter.
Cheers, Ian

I am a teacher and I think mindmapping is a wonderful tool for opening the capabilities of the mind and allowing natural relationships between notions to be expressed in a practical, flowing way that itself develops the entire process. I think ConceptDraw Mindmap http://www.conceptdraw.com is the perfect tool for the creation of wonderful, individual and truly useful mindmaps.

Graham and Wes -
Which edition of MindGenius are you using? The home version is clearly more limited, but it isn’t clear whether or not the business and educational uses offer the same or a slightly different set of features. The comparison on the website is amongst Version 1, Version 2, and Home, so it is only of limited help.
I was interested to see that the Scottish Parliament has debated encouraging its use in education.

Actually, I have this as well.
The problem I have is that sometimes I am blasting off a quick brainstorm mindmap, sometimes I am drawing a structured mindmap for teaching purposes and sometimes, I am wanting a diagram to illustrate a set of relationships which isn’t a Mindmap at all. The problem isn’t the capability of any of the programs I own, but more a feel that they aren’t right.
Concept Draw Mindmap, as I remember was a bit too stylish for what I want.

I have the education version which I was told is identical to the Business edition but comes with different templates. In practice as I trialled the business version then bought the education version, I just copied the business templates into the education version.

Do you have a link for this. As a Scot living in Wales and working in England, I am still interested in Scottish education issues.
