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.
