Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

I've written a script to export the issue list as a freemind mindmap (.mm), see http://freemind.sourceforge.net/

I've uploaded it to http://bugs.mantisbt.org/view.php?id=7214

The idea is to be able to easily and quickly browse many issues with one offline data set and use the nice freemind UI. This is e.g. very helpful to get an overview of new issues, and one can take advantage of the nice structuring possibilities of freemind.

I would be glad to hear your comments / feedback!

Cheers,
Peter

This looks great. I tried it out and I love the way it uses the filters applied to the current page to trim down the export. I don't know if this is practical, but... we are interested in the order of responses each issue gets, and so it might be nice to have the replies to each issue appear as children of the issue instead of in the notes.

It might be nice to also be able to set some styling options somewhere (mantis database?)

Thanks for the positive feedback!

True, some styling options would be nice, but I fear I don't have the time to look into this. I'd appreciate any contribution!

Cheers,
Peter
