MindNode Next breaks Hook integration

Discussion & Help
1

The next-gen version of MindNode has significant differences in its file storage and management functionality. Originally, Mindnode documents were exposed in the file system and stored in iCloud. While the new version still uses iCloud, documents are technically stored in a database and not directly accessible by the end user. MindNode Next allows you to copy links to specific documents from within its integrated file manager, but those links are “MindNode.com” links. I can’t speak to whether they’re exposable through AppleScript.

We just updated our script server with the support for MindNode Next, script version 351. Please update your local Hookmark script and give it a try.

Thank you

Hello,

I am on version 351 and Hookmark returns “No linkable item…” when i invoke Hookmark from both inside a document and from the file browser. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Could you please open a mind map document , select a node and run the following script in Script Editor? Then post the result here.

Thank you

Hi, it duplicates the selected node with the following result:

“{"name":"U3R1ZmZlZCBNZWF0YmFsbCBhbmQgR2lhcmRpbmFyYSBQaXp6YQo=", "address":"U3R1ZmZlZCBNZWF0YmFsbCBhbmQgR2lhcmRpbmFyYSBQaXp6YQo="}”

If I invoke Hookmark while a node is selected, that node appears in the Hookmark window. But the link itself is just the text of the node with %20 in place of spaces.

What’s your MIndNode next version? Mine is Version 2025.1 (246).

Could you please post a screenshot for the following problem?

Thank you

Thanks for sharing your version, there was a MindNode update available for me that fixed the problem. I’m now able to link to specific documents from within the browser as well as link unique nodes within a map (which is really cool!).

Thanks for the help here!
