In IntelliJ a .mmd in Scrachtes opens as text-file
See original GitHub issueIf I create .mmd
file as Scratch, it opens as text. So I can’t use the Mindmap Editor:
Press: <kbd>ctr</kbd> + <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>shift</kbd> + <kbd>insert</kbd>
And choose: MBMindMap


Scratches are used in IntelliJ to edit and sore files, which are not part of the git repsoitory. So I can create local files without sharing them. This is the way I create all my PlantUML diagrams.

@MikhailAsadchyIDT I have tried it under 2021 EAP and looks working without problems, in downloaded Ultimate 2020.3.2 I can reproduce the issue only if I create scrath throup popup menu for “Scratches” folder, if I create mind map through popup “Scratches and Consoles”->“New” then mind map shown well. Looks like that Intellij team fixed the issue in 2021, in your case you can select in popup menu for the file “Change langiage (NBMindMap) to…” and select the same NBMindMap from the list and it will fix work of IDE
Doesn’t work for me 😦
