What files can SimpleMind Pro import
SimpleMind Pro can import files in the following formats: .itmz .mm, .opml, and .txt
iThoughts Files - itmz.
SimpleMind imports the hierarchy (parent-child structure), notes, images, cross-links (known as "relations" in iThoughts), most icons, and links. This integration aims to make it easy to continue working with your iThoughts maps.
FreeMind (.mm) and .opml files.
SimpleMind imports the basic structure of .mm and .opml files, capturing text, notes, and hierarchy while ignoring other attributes like links and icons. This import is designed as a one-time transfer. Opml can also be used to create mind maps with ChatGPT.
Text files (.txt)
This is a quick way to turn text files into mind maps: each new line creates a new topic, and lines that start with a tab become child topics.
Tip: Use "Paste Text as List" to quickly copy text into mind map topics. On Mac, go to Main Menu > Edit > Paste > Paste Text as List. On iPad, iPhone, and Android, use the topic toolbar to select "Paste Text as List."
