Installed GrampsAIO-6.1.0-beta1-1_win64 and imported a copy of my tree. The FamilySearch icon in the status bar alerts… Not logged in to FamilySearch From the menu Family Trees >> FamilySearch Sign In… User consent declined I opened my default browser and signed in.

And what happens next? I’m not clear on how to use the FS plugin.

Before we can issue authentication keys, the new FamilySearch Integration will need to be certified by FamilySearch. I am just waiting for our middleware to be installed before asking FamilySearch to begin their certification process. Perhaps Sam can give a progress update on this. An alternative …

Yup! Direct mode should still work if you run gramps with GRAMPS_FS_ENABLE_DIRECT=1 python3 -m gramps or GRAMPS_FS_ENABLE_DIRECT=1 GRAMPS_FS_DEBUG=1 python3 -m gramps You just have to set the correct mode in the corresponding preferences tab

Still no access.

[image] emyoulation: Speaking of that statusbar icon, those 16x16 FS-BLA-16 and FS-G-16 are so tiny that it is hard to de-cypher. At first I thought it was was a screen noise from a video corruption. Perhaps a 22x22? I can ask, but we have to adhere to the FamilySearch Solutions Program Brand…
