Export template as xmind

Hi!

I would like to export a template as an XMind file. However, when I try to export the template as XMind, nothing seems to happen.

I can successfully export archetypes as XMind, so that functionality appears to work.

Does anyone have any tips on what I might be doing wrong, how to fix this, or if there is another easy way to generate an XMind from a template?

not sure if related, but some IPS templates have names with โ€œ&โ€ which could break some XML-based exports (if I remember correctly, label is allergies & intolerances). Is that the template you are exporting?

I can share an app that will convert a Web template to xmind. It is a bit limited by the xmind api that we used and it us actually quite tricky to know exactly how much detail to carry.

The app code is at GitHub - freshehrteam/wt2xt: Tools for converting openEHR Web templates to various export formats ยท GitHub

Example (ugly!!) below - is that what you had in mind?

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to convert my template to OPML format (with some help from ChatGPT), which I was then able to import into XMind. :slight_smile:

@OscarKarlsson I believe some people might be very interested in how you did that, for example seeing the prompts used :slight_smile:

P.s. Sligthly related thread that lists many interesting mindmapping tools Thoughts on "Wisemapping": an open-source, web-based, collaborative mind-mapping tool? - The open souce ones could likely be tweaked/extended to streamline template related analysis/design work more.
