I’m wondering if masterplan supports locking of cards. I want to try migrating my annotated png map out of puref and into masterplan due to it having features I’m missing with the former.

However, if I import a map it is absolutely important that it’s not able to be accidentally moved or selected in general. I’d want it to act as a backdrop. 

Is it possible for me to make an image card for my map that is then ‘locked’ so it cannot be selected or accidentally dragged, like in puref?

Also, is there a way to store all my data inside masterplan projects? Local file paths can break or get lost, and I don’t want my project to be susceptible to bit rot if I use the new web cards either. 

This is especially important as I often move my map file around computers. Puref was amazing for having everything baked into the project file, so I could just move one file between computers and know that everything is still in there. 

I think an ability to use it to go up from sub-page will be great.

Right now I can't find an option for this, it looks like dragging tasks overtop of others just drops them onto a pile to be pulled apart manually. I end up spending a fair amount of time drag selecting the lower half of a column of tasks, moving them down to make space, then adding items into the middle.  Is there a better workflow than manually moving whole groups of tasks?

In Excel, this is the Shift + Drag behavior of selected rows when you grab them by their border.

  I`m sending you an internet hug - I`m overjoyed  - Thank you!

I threw some extra change your way. :) I think projects like this deserve all the support they can get, and I really admire your work ethic and that the project is available as OSS.

P.S. If I could make one suggestion it would be to allow pasting images from clipboard, but I'm sure this is already on your roadmap.

Keep up the amazing work!

When are you going to push a new update here.   It's been awhile.

PS,

I love the app, been using it with my projects.

Good work.

Here's the code if anyone wants to try it out. Just duplicate another theme file and paste this (including the curly braces) over the top. It'll show up in the list of themes as whatever you name the file.

{
    "GUI_OUTLINE":              [64, 13, 164, 255],
    "GUI_OUTLINE_HIGHLIGHTED":  [87, 0, 252, 255],
    "GUI_OUTLINE_DISABLED":     [73, 31, 99, 255],
    "GUI_INSIDE":               [225, 226, 251, 255],
    "GUI_INSIDE_HIGHLIGHTED":   [80, 86, 255, 255],
    "GUI_INSIDE_DISABLED":      [184, 186, 247, 255],
    "GUI_FONT_COLOR":           [0, 32, 67, 255],
    "GUI_NOTE_COLOR":           [132, 255, 189, 255],
    "GUI_SHADOW_COLOR":         [159, 125, 247, 255]
}

• The infinite canvas is very nice to have.
• Support for multiple boards and fast switching between them is awesome.
• I like a lot how tasks combine in a list or a tree, based just on their relative position.
• Timers are great for workflow organization, great idea that I didn’t see anywhere else.
• Whiteboard is great for those ideas that are hard to describe. Really simple to use.
• Overall, I like restrictions and simplicity of tools and grid placement. Good for OCD.

Now for downsides and suggestions.

• The UI is non-standard, so tab and other focusing shortcuts won’t work.
• The workflow needs re-thinking. Right now everything is added as a task and then changed (only by mouse) into other elements.
• Too many interactions require dialogs, for example completing one task in ‘progression’ requires going into property dialog and incrementing a number.
• Late tasks are nervously animated and too distracting. I cannot keep the tool open all the time because of this.
• The font is not changeable, there are more readable fonts out there (like open sans).
• Why is zoom blurry when using vector fonts?
• I’d like to be able to zoom out more and zoom in less.
• Unicode support is lacking.
• Maybe use a special color value for grid dots, so I can make them almost transparent in themes.

That’s all I have for now. Thanks @SolarLune for creating this.

I downloaded the new version of masterplan, was previously using the last release. When i try to open a copy of my current project. It opens a blank project(it loads my old theme) but none of my boards are there. What should I do?
