There is a problem with Freemind 0.9, which is the version I get if I use sudo apt-get install freemind.

When trying to share a .mm file between Windows Freemind and Ubuntu Freemind, I get the error

Error while parsing file:freemind.main.XMLParseException: XML Parse Exception during parsing of a map element at line 1: Expected: =

Googling, I find advice at PLABO: fixing "Error while parsing file:freemind.main.XMLParseException: XML Parse Exception during parsing of a map element at line 1: Expected: =" to instead use Freemind 1.0.

I don't do a lot of manual installs in Linux.

I first download, then unzip, and put the directory in /opt/. I then add to ~/.profile the line export PATH=$PATH:/opt/freemind-bin-max-1.0.0_RC_4/.

But this seems to only work for calling freemind.sh from the terminal. I'd like to call from the launcher.

Is there a better way to do all this? Is there a relatively easy way that is also better?

I've checked the Freemind site, they only provide 0.9 for Debian.

Note: I am Kubuntu user.

  • @Braiam, I am in kubuntu, but I will take a look. – Brady Trainor Aug 09 '14 at 04:51
  • Through it says "unity" all DE actually support that. – Braiam Aug 09 '14 at 05:05

    @Braiam, I right clicked the Launcher button (KDE gear), clicked edit applications..., and it was pretty smooth sailing from there; even added a downloaded logo. Thanks! I'm so reliant on apt, but relieved the final step was easy. Thanks for realizing what I had left to do, I could not see it tonight. – Brady Trainor Aug 09 '14 at 05:39
