Power Markers Help Desk Goes Live
Are you one of the growing number of MindManager users who have new found capabilities and application thanks to the popular add-in Power Markers? If so then we are pleased to tell you that a dedicated Help Desk for Power Markers™ for MindManager® has just been made live and can be accessed here: Power Marker Help Desk
The help desk has been created by Harport Consulting, the developers behind Power Markers™ for MindManager® and has a foundation of information and resources which will grow steadily over the coming months.
The Help Desk can be used to submit support queries and suggestions, view installation information and Tips and Tricks and has details of current known issues, announcements and FAQs.
If you have any suggestions for content or ideas for articles you think could be included within the Help Desk then please log-in and submit your ideas.
Olympic Add-ins Updated
We are pleased to announce that with the release of MindManager® 9 for Windows®, all of the Olympic add-ins and solutions have been updated to work with the new version.
Power Markers™, OPTi-P2™, OPTi-Q™ and the OPTi-Suite™ (formerly Olympic Utilities) are all available for MindManager® 9 and can be downloaded from our download page located here.
Harport Consulting have included some improvements to Power Markers™ with the update, the first of which is a single installer which now means there is only one download for all supported versions of MindManager®, currently MindManager® Pro 7, MindManager® 8 and Mindmanager® 9 for Windows®.
Other improvements include:
- The dates used for the Financial Year can be selected from a set of dates in use around the world. To change the setting for your country, go to the MindManager Options dialogue > Power Markers page.
- A new configuration option has been added to control whether Power Markers asks you for permission to delete empty map marker groups, when refreshing the Active Legends. You can choose to always delete unused groups, never delete unused groups, or ask you each time. This setting is in the MindManager Options dialogue > Power Markers page.
- New automatic marker conditions have been added to detect $centraltopic, $maintopic and topic $level:N. Refer to the documentation for more details.
- The $resource and $task:resource conditions have been extended to include testing the text inside the resource string, in the same way as other tests for text. This allows resources matching, starting with, containing or ending with defined substrings to be detected. Refer to the documentation for more details.
- A bug has been fixed which allowed the “Copy to Clipboard” command to remain active after a document was closed.
- A bug has been fixed which caused the Hot List to be truncated when exported to the Clipboard, if a topic with no text on it was encountered. Unnamed topics are now identified as “(Unnamed Topic)” in the Hot List for clarity.
- A bug has been fixed which allowed the Hot Lists task pane to remain active while Map Part was being edited.
- A bug in the documentation in the Standard Generic Dashboard has been fixed (incorrect reference to “tag” automatic marker condition).
There’s more in the Help Desk. See the previous article
That’s all until the next issue.
Thank you for reading…..

Welcome to the June issue of Olympic News.
In this issue:
- Power Markers Version 2 Released
- OPTi-P2 Update
- Small Team Licence Offers
New version of Power Markers™ for MindManager® brings dashboard maps to life
| We are pleased to tell you that version 2 of Power Markers™ for MindManager® is now available for download.
Power Markers™ is an extension for Mindjet MindManager® 7 and 8 for Windows, and makes it easy to work with your maps by automatically creating to-do lists from them. So as well as representing your information or project visually, you can see the status of your map at a glance, with all your next actions collected together in one list, wherever they are in the map. This is perfect for “dashboard” maps that represent work in progress. You can mark actions and key information points anywhere in your map, and Power Markers will track them in the “Hot Lists” so that you can always get to them with one click. It makes even the biggest maps simple to navigate and maintain, greatly enhancing their value and extending their useful lifetime. |
