Does someone know where I can find those beautiful icons which are used in CKM Freemind?

Thanks in advance

Hello Bert,

This is what Thomas said back in the day (2012), but I think the links targets have been moved, but maybe they give you a hint of where are they now

All

this is the Github project containing the icons. I don’t have time to check on whether they are up to date right now, but if someone can do that it would be good. Let us know if they are not, it should be no problem to update.

Note that I have newer icons in the AWB, which probably are not in this repo. Those are here, in the AWB Github project. These are not used in CKM, but if people want them in a more obvious place, I’ll add them to the first project as well.

Caveat: all icons made by me should be considered rough cuts designed to be so hideous that some proper artist will come along and do them properly. So far this strategy has not worked that well …

Thanks Thomas and Diego :wink:

The point is that I am using the mindmaps from CKM for documentation-purpose, but it does not deliver the icons. When I open a mindmap in Freemind, it shows red-X in the nodes where the icon should be. I need to delete the cross manually per item (by double clicking it it opens the html belonging to that node), and add again the icon over the UI of Freemind.

I wonder how other people do this. I think the icons are necessary information, they represent, for example, the datatype of a node.

I found now a hack on the freemind website: http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Asked_questions#To_add_user_icons_to_FreeMind

I am now doing this, but I doubt if this is the best way.

Is there any way to do this better?

The only way I found back in the day that was completely error proof was to include the desired icons into the local freemind resouces/icon folder when exporting mindmap from the tool (as it is a known folder)

By doing so you get rid of those red crosses

Probably that was in the old days, Freemind does not anymore contain a resources folder, it does contain a lib folder, but probably, that is not part of the classpath, it does not recognize it as such. I edited the jar-file, and put which helped, all icons in flat structure to the icons in the jar-file, not easy to standardize such a hack.
