@kmikkels what is wrong here?
It happens when I try add the gramplet in right sidebar
176362: ERROR: grampsapp.py: line 188: Unhandled exception

AttributeError: 'HistContext' object has no attribute '_HistContext__sel_file'
I think it is because I tried to preserve user setup for a single file into the new file array.
Will look into it right away

Fixed.
Users who have used the old version will have to select files - only default is used
I added a few full dates for a few events and they show up yyyy-mm-dd just fine. Events with just the year all add -01-01 to the From column and -12-31 to the To column instead of just the year entry.
The “Compare on years” is a little awkward in English (I know not your native language). Maybe switch the default to using just the year and have the check box “Use full date” as the option.
Sorry, but I dont see fresh commits here GitHub - kajmikkelsen/HistContext: A python gramplet for the gramps genealogy software, which will show historical events in the sidebar
Could you share where can I download the fix from?
The fix should be on the branch on addons-source.
Will commit it on my own repo after dinner
Thanks for doing the efforts

it works. I forgot that I can install via Gramps 
Thank you!
I’ve opened all *.txt examples but can not find at least one row where full date format is used. I tried but receive an exception. That is wrong here?
1900-12-12;1948-11-11;....
Now pushed to my own repo as well

My natural language is Danish.
Will use your advice
That should be OK.
I will add your date format to my test file, and return with info
My test file for dates currently looks looks like this:
17000528;1710;kajs test linje 1;https://vgdata.dk
1 dec 1801;1805; kajs test linje 2;https://vgdata.dk
Today;today;kajs test linje 3;https://vgdata.dk
1715;1716;kajs test linje 4;https://vgdata.dk
1855-02;1855-02;kajs test linje 5;https://vgdata.dk
When I look at my source, the line number you have the error in looks different.
Could you please verify the version of the gramplet, you are using, by looking at the HiistContext.gpr.py? it should be 0.2.16
And it could have something to do with the environment, what is the LANG and LANGUAGE variables?
And perhaps the LC_TIME?
Any update on this issue?
Sorry, I can check it in several days later and will answer here.
Thank you!

No, I still receive the same error. But my version is 0.2.11. The new one 0.2.16 is not available via Gramps installer

While Kaj is doing experimental tweaks to troubleshoot your problem, you will need to download a ZIP and do manual updates.
Since his Repository contains a single addon, you could use the Tools → Isotammi Tools → ZipInstall addon (from the Isotammi project) to install from the ZIP download.

Thanks for adding the Color Picker GUI.
And for the multiple file selector.
I am thinking about adding a Sociopolitical influences (requested Perplexity compile a list. Still have to reformat it for the Gramplet.):
