MindMapper Versions Save

For those who are cloning the repo this will be a very small change, a bug preventing the BigPic node from displaying its big picture has been patched.

For those who are only downloading the release version there are quite a few more changes:

Big Pic Node

• displays a large resizable image, drawn onto the node editor backdrop

Big Text Node

• a large single line of text written on top of everything else

Sound Node

• play/loop a single sound file with volume control

Checklist Node

• a simple checklist

Numbered List

• a numbered list

New Features

• Hi-Res Image Support - up to 2K (2048 x 2048) - c/o and thanks to 3dn-bip!
• Select Images with larger previews
• Select Image Folder to auto populate previews
• Node Color button has a Material Icon next to it
• Drawer button is larger (can still be hidden in Addon Preferences)

Changes

• Blender image preview collection and 3dn_bip image preview generation now in use
• Image selection menu replaced by enum preview
• Mindmap default node color changed
• Node default image and image folder ship with addon

Future

• AI Texture Generation integration still planned
• further streamline the workflow: ideally you wouldn't need a hidden control panel, and you could simply click directly on the label, image etc to edit it. Time will tell how much I can change this.

New Features

• available in Shader, Geometry and Compositor Node Editors
• found under 'Extra' in Node Editor Add menu, or via search
• New Note Node: Text-only, with only one output

Changes

• split into multi-file
• restructured code - Nodes now inherit from a NodeBase class and are each defined in their own .py files
• renamed some vars to conform to Blender naming conventions - eg 'MindmapTreeType' to 'MindmapNodeTree'

Future

• add higher res image support
• add support for Dream Texture generation using node text as prompt
• streamline image adding/changing process

Haven't used this addon in a while, went to install it and realized that, although the addon itself works, the way to install it was so cumbersome with renaming folders, that I decided to just upload a working .zip for someone who just wants to install and go.
