Exchanging mind maps with MindManager

This is one entry in Vic's collection of information about how mind mapping software can communicate. Some packages have a built-in capability to import and export to other types of mind mapping software. Some software authors have kindly provided information about the format of their mind map or interchange files.

This is a starting point, from which this go-to source for interchange information, already substantial, will grow. Let me know about any new information, or any mistakes you spot: Vic at the above domain.

Mind mapping software:

MindManager

The MindManager format is next only to FreeMind's in being commonly handled
for import or export by other mind mapping software. Mind map files (.mmap) from
versions 5, 6 and 7 are commonly accepted.

MindManager of all versions (Back to 2, at least) can make outline format Word or
text files, and these can be imported by some software.

Anyone making an XSLT for conversion to other software not mentioned below is
invited to submit it here for general use.

Can accept files from:

Any software that can export a MindManager (.mmap) file, namely Mind42 and
Mindomo.

Can prepare files to be read by:

3D Topicscape, Comapping, Mind42, MindMeister and Mindomo, all of which
can import a MindManager (.mmap) file.
