Description: Semantik - a mindmapping-like tool for document generation (reports, thesis, etc). Features its own internal diagramming tool.
Runtime requirements: KDE >= 5 Python >= 3.3
Compilation requirements: KDE5 development packages Python3 development packagesLast changelog:
1.2.8
* Improve boundaries and cloud elements * Add and edit newlines in diagram elements * Deselect items before exporting images * Add a Markdown export filter (experimental) * Improve the configuration and build on Ubuntu Jammy
Very nice program, thank you very much for developing it. The only thing for me is that it would be great if the arrows could go from any node to any other. Right now it says: "only one root is allowed: try 'references'". For me, being able to connect any nodes in order to show complex causality would make a huge difference.
Thumbs up that the author keeps updating this tower of an app. I sincerely have much respect for him.
I use this app on a daily basis, and my whole information infrastructure is depending on it.
Just one thing, i noticed that after having places a huge amount of nodes ( my save file is around 1 MB) that the program seems to slow down on every node i click even on an i5 2.4Ghz with SSD.
Fortunately when out of desperation, ( 3-5 sec pause on every node click, switch or creation kills my thinking process ) i have tried the older 0.7.3 version it was blazingly fast again, just like as if i had started a new map from scratch.
Anyone else has run into the same problem ? (or am i the only one that uses Semantik on such a scale ?).
I'm quite content working with 0.7.3 version, but that means i just miss out on some of the diagram tools.
This is not a mindmap for linux , this is a linux for your mind.
This piece of software is way ahead of its time.
It combines the things outline, mindmap, search function in a practical, way with a correct working gui. I tested every single mindmapping, outlining, diagram software from Notecase to The Brain and Scapple and Scrivener , but this is it. Finally.
10/10. Thank you very much, this app is priceless.
hello!
i can't compile semantik on debian testing
./waf configure executes successfully
while compiling with ./waf i get this:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstr
i searched online but couldn't anything helpful. also i don't have a file called lstr on my system
any idea what i have to do?
thanks

Hello:
I'm a teacher and I want test this program.
I installed from http://software.opensuse.org/search
But appears a dependency problem:
nothing provides libpython2.6.so.1.0 needed by semantik-0.7.2-1.1.i586
Can anyvbody help me.
Thanks in advance
Thank you, that helped, I was able to build a functional application.
I linked /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2, but i guess a better workaround can be found.
I didn't have to do anything for Python. Though my distro (Lunar-Linux) installs the python executable as /usr/bin/python2.7 with the /usr/bin/python-config pointing to /usr/bin/python2.7. Maybe its distro differences?
Arch linux have added python 3 and use that pr default now, python 2.7 is also installed. arch linux does not use alternatives, and i do not know if there is a similar tool.
I believe if the scripts requires python 2, they should use that explictly.
I'm new at cooperating through kde-apps.
Can someone point me towards how I would checkout a copy of the source. I'm assuming that kde-apps has a git or mercurial repo for all of the apps.
I want to see how it's laid out, because I have some ideas that I'd like to try with it.
One of the most useful programs I ever encountered. It saved me several times when I had many ideas, but just couldn't turn them into a logical, readable text.
For me, this is the Linux-killer app. Thanks a lot.
Let me say that I'm extremely enthousiast about this program. Perhaps most because other than mindmappers that I used until now, it allows you to throw concept on the screen without haveing them all connected to one center, which to my mind, is very much against how my mind works.
I would like to have more control over printing the maps. And a full screen mode would also be wonderful.
why ?
why the developer does not want you to continue porting to the windows? not
There is a tool in windows like this. neither free nor with high prices, nothing.
many people can not use linux. is a necessity.
This would be unrespectful with the maintainer of Semantik, I'm not as experient as him so I respect his opinion.
Semantik is a wonderful app, and the Linux deserves to have such app exclusively for it, especially if the one who developed it for years want so.
I don't want to cause any kind of confusion and don't want to impair the development this great app.
I would like to ask others also to __NOT__ try to port it. Please do not insist.
If you really need a similar free tool for windows google for "flo mindmapping", don't expect it to have as many features as semantik.

Select an item, then drag from the " " to another item while holding the ctrl key pressed. This will add a reference.

Had a build problem. Filed a report in the gitlab page. Thanks!

Report the issue to the bug tracker and attach the files/testcases.

So, any hope of a semantik update for recent ocaml and python? I would love to have it back!
Its been a while since looking at this but IIRC what I did was remove "-lstr" from the wscript.

Any news on this issue?
I'm new at cooperating through kde-apps. Can someone point me towards how I would checkout a copy of the source. I'm assuming that kde-apps has a git or mercurial repo for all of the apps. I want to see how it's laid out, because I have some ideas that I'd like to try with it.

I would like to have more control over printing the maps. And a full screen mode would also be wonderful.
The latest snapshot does have a fullscreen mode.
In respect to Semantik's developer opinion, I will not try porting Semantik to ms windows anymore. Thanks a lot for such great app.
why ? why the developer does not want you to continue porting to the windows? not There is a tool in windows like this. neither free nor with high prices, nothing. many people can not use linux. is a necessity.
