Options - Save

To see these options click the MindManager Button , click MindManager Options, and then click Save.

Prompt for Map Properties on first save
Automatically displays the map Properties dialog for each new map, where you can enter information about the map.

Always create a backup copy .BAK before saving maps
When you select the option to create backup files, a backup file with the extension .BAK is created from the previous version of the file each time you save it. This means that if you have some sort of computer disaster or save a map with changes you later regret, you always have the previous version available. You can open this file in the normal  Open dialog and then save it with the proper name to restore it.

Save AutoRecover info every x minutes:
You can specify how often you want to save AutoRecover info. This info is used to restore your maps if MindManager is closed abnormally (ie if the power goes out or if your computer crashes). When MindManager restarts, you can specify to restore a map or just use the previous (last saved) version.

Default document location:
The default location for opening maps and saving your maps and exported files.

Compression on saving:
The Compression setting is very similar to one found in common file archiving tools (e.g. WinZip). Compression decreases file size, but can result in files taking a longer to open, although this will only be noticeable with large files.
Compression increases on the following continuum: Super Fast (least compression), Fast, Normal, Maximum (most compression).
The normal setting is usually appropriate, but you may want to change this when working with extreme document cases. For example, if your map has a large number of big raster graphics Fast or Super Fast will be more appropriate, since raster graphics are already compressed by jpeg/png algorithms. On the other hand, if you have a large map (thousands of topics) that is primarily text Maximum compression may save some disk space.

Encoding on saving:
The Encoding setting is used when integrating MindManager documents into third-party tools that use either plain XML files or that process MMAP archives to extract the XML content. In these cases the XML processor may expect a certain type of encoding which can be selected here.

Reopen last open maps on startup
Automatically opens the last maps you were working on.

User interface customization:
If you reset the user interface customization, the Quick Access toolbar and Ribbon will return to their normal state  the next time you start MindManager.
