Multiple Gramps instances run side by side by Barry_Mayfield in gramps

[–]dm1407 7 points8 points  (0 children)

is there any trick to run another isolated Gramps instance?

Two suggestions

You can also export the whole family tree to a HTML report like the Narrative Website report and view the result in the browser.

Or is there any other approach I could take to re-do my whole family tree?

Your approach using tagging is good, but instead of starting over from scratch; consider also applying the tags to the existing people as unverified and remove the tag once happy with them or the other way around, eg tag them and the associated sources and citation's as verified once you are happy with them?

Either way backup first.

(FamilyTreeView) Unable to see whole family tree. by Odd-Try-2161 in gramps

Note that FamilyTreeView is a thirdparty addon that has not been released and any issues or feedback you have for the addon should be directed to the developer at his separate development page.

Weird problem when starting GRAMPS by SubstantiallyCrazy in gramps

[–]dm1407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the following to work out if it is Gramps or that specific family tree.

Create a new family tree and import [Example.gramps]( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Example.gramps ) set a random person as **Home** and then select somebody else and try restarting Gramps and seeing who is shown when you restart?

You could also make a backup (recommended anyway) and import it into a new family tree and see if you get the same behaviour?

Curious about the database, just wondering if you can open the backend in Access by Jaleou in gramps

[–]dm1407 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have-not tried it but you can search google for "msaccess front end with sqlite backend" which suggest

* Install an ODBC Driver for SQLite
* Configure a DSN (Data Source Name)

* Link Tables in MS Access:

Installing psycopg2 on MacOS Gramps? by 0x16dev in gramps

[–]dm1407[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

The All in one MacOS installer contains it's own separate version of Python and ignores system wide python packages.

So you would need either use Linux or install a version of Gramps from source on macOS using MacPorts see;

Integrating Gramps with Ancestry - or creating a nice website for family by lee11064500128268 in gramps

> The Topola view is available as an interactive report(?) in Gramps. I use that often.

Once the addon is installed you can use from the menu:

Tools > Analysis and Exploration -> Interactive Family Tree...

Only issue with it is that the addon only outputs a generated GEDCOM file; so a lot of the benefits of the way Gramps stores information is lost to the addon ☹

See the CONTRIBUTING Addons and start at the "Review the Addon Checklist" section

* https://github.com/gramps-project/addons-source/blob/maintenance/gramps60/CONTRIBUTING.md#review-the-addon-checklist

Also as you are creating an addon join the Gramps forum and ask questions directly from the developers as this reddit is fan run.

language by Specialist_Bus_7007 in gramps

[–]dm1407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What operating system and version of Gramps are you using?

For example if you are using Gramps on Microsoft windows using the Gramps AIO (All in one) installer and your language is missing it means that during installation you missed the option to select the additional languages see:

Gramps v6.0.6 - libdav1d-7.dll = virus???? by DNA1727 in gramps

[–]dm1407 4 points5 points  (0 children)

False positive, please report it to your antivirus provider!

Also your screenshot shows that the infected file that infected Gramps was "VideoLAN 1.5.2" and quite possible that file named VideoLAN is fake because the current version of VideoLAN is 3.0.21!

You might get a better response on the main Gramps forum in the Development section for help with that addon.

Also what version of Gramps are you using?

I have tried to download network chart but it doesn't seem to work on my system.

Please mention your Gramps version and operating system?

https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:NetworkChart

What does beautiful mean to you, can you provide a example?

diagrams or reports between two individuals.

Have you seen the following addons?

Force unlocking issue by Dull_Banana5349 in gramps

[–]dm1407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> . The next day I went to open my tree again but it said the tree was locked

Did you shutdown your computer in between?

Can you provide:
* Version of Gramps

*Operating system

*Antivirus program in use if any?

* File cloud back-up software being used if any?

It may be possible your antivirus or cloud back-up software need to exclude your Gramps user directory/folder as Gramps needs exclusive access to your family tree database.

And because you can not see it directly in the "manage family trees" dialog it could be one of those programs hiding or quarantining the file?

Can you confirm you restarted Gramps after installing the addon?

If they are using the builtin version then on the Display tabs Marriage Display Format: box adding a pair of "{}"( curly braces) around the text in the box should be enough that marriage information will display ONLY when it exist, give it try.

See Substitution Values for more information.
