Markus Mueller has updated MindNode Pro (http://www.mindnode.com/), a mind mapping app for Mac OS X (10.5 and higher), to version 1.5. The upgrade adds image support and visual file links and brings a completely redesigned new toolbar.

MindNode Pro features an interface that lets the user focus on expressing and developing ideas. By leveraging technologies introduced in Leopard, MindNode Pro’s new features are carefully integrated and only surface when required, Mueller says. You can print, share and export mind maps as TIFF image, FreeMind, PDF, HTML or OPML.

MindNode Pro costs approximately US$24.95 for a single-user license. Version 1.5 is a free update for registered users. A demo is available for download.
