Uh, this is bad. :-(

It is even worse, FreeMind 0.9.0 (final version) doesn't work better.

I removed ~/.freemind completely and tried to open one of my former
mindmaps. So clean config, probably old mm-file-format.

Yes, 0.8.1 format, that's the problem, and that sounds definitely like an upstream bug.

Interesting fact: freemind asks for converting the document format *after* the
panic message was written to stdout.

Ignore the panic message, it's not the problem, I also get it if I call FreeMind without any file.

I also attached my test mm file.

Thanks, very helpful.



OK, 2 things:
1. I will try to ping upstream.
2. I guess the problem is caused originally by


Cheers, Eric

If I call FreeMind without any file, and then open the file from the GUI, I get a more explicit error (see attached file). java.lang.RuntimeException: Use of the extension function 'xalan://freemind.main.HtmlTools:replaceSpacesToNonbreakableSpaces' is not allowed when the secure processing feature is set to true. Does someone know what it actually means? What is 'secure processing feature'? Is it something of the program, or something of the (Java/Xalan) environment?
