   Maybe an import for the common mindmap-files like XMind, Mindjet MindManager and Freemind would be a good idea?

   From a usage point of view, it is more friendly to browse directly by opening these files. After I research the nextcloud front end and select the file box, the function of saving as will be added.

   Great! I love the Idea of dropping FreeMind Files into nextcloud and being able to directly open and editing them. This way, I could add ideas on the go in the browser and refine them in a desktop App.
   But maybe this would mean to switch the File Format from .km to .mm or something…?
   Will there also be an option to export to the FreeMind/XMind file formats?

   Personally I have few FreeMmind/FreePlane format I would like to import
   it is possible to export them into a lot of type, but I think the most plausible are: md and xml
   #### What would be the step to import a md and/or xml into Nextcloud MindMap ?

   Wouah! it was too easy I simply drop my .mm into nextcloud than double-click ;)

   Yes opening is easy, but how do I save my changes?

   Picking this up for the next feature release (0.2.x, Nextcloud 36+), building on PR #259 by @stephancordes.

   Instead of a "Save as", FreeMind (.mm) and XMind (.xmind) maps get Export to KityMinder (.km) in the Export menu at the top right: #465

   • The editor holds every opened map as KityMinder data, whatever the source format, so the export works for all importable formats.
   • It is only offered for files that cannot be saved in their own format; .km files keep their normal Save.
   • It downloads the current map, including unsaved edits, as a .km file named after the original. The original file is never changed.
   • The conversion is one way: whatever the importer does not map (e.g. some FreeMind styles) is not in the .km file.

   Saving back as .mm for round trips with Freeplane/FreeMind is not covered; that is #166 / #149.
