Generally speaking, however, the 'important' information within the map is maintained between import/export (text, notes, layout, links etc.) It is usually the more 'aesthetic' attributes that are an issue (text styling etc.) This can be an issue when re-exporting as the unrecognised/unsupported attributes really are discarded at import time and will therefore not be present in the subsequent export. iThoughts doesn't distinguish between line and fill colour, so when importing it picks one and discards the other.
Most desktop apps have a different colour attribute for line, fill and text. A good example of this is when dealing with colours. If an attribute is unsupported by iThoughts then it may be 'interpreted'. If an attribute or setting is not recognised by iThoughts then it is simply ignored. When iThoughts imports a 3rd party format it converts it into the ITMZ format (native to iThoughts.) This conversion process is 'lossy'. =(Įdit: Ah, what I'm seeing is a lossy conversion into and out of the iThoughts proprietary format.
Freemind (v1.0.1 on Mac) doesn't think iThoughts saves in the most recent version, and lots of formatting gets lost. Not very compatible with Freemind, though. Wow, as far as mind-mapping software goes, you're not joking! Pretty advanced mapping, plus lots of import and export options, cloud syncing, etc.
