Known Issues - Mindjet for Windows (v11.0.272)

TPAssist has been updated for the latest Mindjet update (v11.0.272). There is one new issue we are working on and we still have the issues identified in v10.1.459 (See here).

There are known issues with TPAssist 2007 v1.8.7 and Mindjet for Windows (v11.0.272).

• Accessing the "TPAssist Options" prevents MindManager.EXE from closing. If you access the "TPAssist Options" dialog, close it and then exit Mindjet for Windows, the EXE stays running in the background. Opening Mindjet again, and then closing Mindjet causes an exception error. The only work-around at present is as follows: after closing Mindjet, use Task Manager to terminate MindManager.EXE.

Note: This issue has also been seen with TPAssist Capture v1.3.6.

Known Issues - MindManager 2012 (10.1.459)

There are known issues with TPAssist 2007 v1.8.6 (and earlier) and MindManager 2012 Service Pack 1 (version 10.1.459).

• When "Effort" is enabled (MindManager Options, Task Info, "Show Effort Field"), the TPAssist Journal command isn't able to correctly modify "Duration". This issue is being worked on. For now, it is advised not to enable "Effort" when you have MindManager 2012 Service Pack 1 (version 10.1.459) and TPAssist 2007 v1.8.6 or earlier.
• Quicklink Rebuild and other hyperlink handling aspects of TPAssist 2007 fail when you use earlier versions of MindManager to open maps created or modified with MindManager 2012 Service Pack 1 (version 10.1.459). When TPAssist fails, you will get an ugly error message about "EffortReadOnly" and "missing in schema". This issue is being worked on. For now, it is advised not to run different versions of MindManager, i.e. choose your timing and upgrade all your machines to MindManager 2012 Service Pack 1 (version 10.1.459).

TPAssist 2007 version 1.8.6 - Release Notes

TPAssist 2007 for Mindjet® MindManager® has been updated.

Version 1.8.6 is a maintenance update.

Improvements:

• Task start/due date and duration handling adjusted for MindManager 2012
• Journal Dialog supports "Minutes" in duration (MindManager 2012 only)
• Task "Levelling" uses map calendar (for MindManager 2012 and MindManager 9)
• Outlook Integrated Linkage Module compiled for MindManager 2012 (10.0.445)
• Journal Tab adjusted to include "Active" button
• Send Map and Send Topic support "date"

Fixes:

• Journaling in multi-map now updates parent map's topic after child map (so correct priority/percent complete/flags are reflected).
• Task Summary correctly collecting "due date" as overdue not just today
• Auto-Journal no longer leaves "NOTES MACRO" tree in new maps
• Hours in day handled correctly.
• Auto-Clear Background will be skipped if font colour and background colo are the same.
• Topic Tree Template no longer processes Research and other control topics

Known Issue - MindManager 2012

There is a known issue with TPAssist 2007 v1.8.5 and MindManager 2012.

When editing task information using the Journal Tab of the TPAssist Console, changes made to Duration are not reflected on the topic when you click apply.

The issue is being worked on. For now, it would be wise to make Duration related changes with the MindManager task tab.

UPDATE: Nov 8, 2011 - TPAssist 2007 v1.8.6 resolves this issue.
