Ability to make bowed connect lines that do not go through other nodes
I very much like the connecting node lines. However, as of now it is not possible to draw them in a way that they do not go through other nodes.
Let's say you have one node on the right side of the root node and one on the left. Creating a connection line will make it go straight through the root node.
I would like to have an additional option (next to dotted, solid, and colour) bowed
that will make this line curved, trying to avoid other nodes and instead going around them.
I hope my request is clear.
Thanks for listening!
this is now done in mindmup 2.0, you can select a theme (view→themes) and the simple theme has bowed connectors that do not cross each other or nodes

Any change of just being able to drag the line rather than have it in right angles?

Devs, I'm not seeing any response to this. Can you please get back to us?

I'm literally clicking between simple vs standard in MindMup 2.0 and the lines I've added are not bowed in either theme. In the simple theme, the lines are even crossing other lines...

Any chance this feature will be coming to the standard layout? I don't even mind the connections going behind other nodes, but if we had the ability to adjust the curve, we could make much more fluid maps.
LOVE Mindmup so keep up the great work either way! :)

Also it would be great to have captions for connect lines.

I'd event pay a few bucks for it.

Just what i was looking for! I want funky curves for the lateral connectors too, not just the parent-child connectors.
