I noticed the older array index (3) was now pointing to local_sort_date and you had to increase offset it to 4.

However, most of the URLs in the uk_UA_data_v1_0.txt Ukrainian data file are bad too. They are too long and have spaces instead of underscores. (The Ukrainian Wikipedia even complains that the URLs are longer than 255 characters.)

Also, the path for the HistContext.ini is hard-coded to a plugins folder named HistContext. When I installed the update with ZipInstall, it renamed the destination folder. So the Gramplet created a folder that just had the one item. Can you make the destination relative instead (in the same folder as the main module)?

24

I just copied Iuris datafile, but let me see if I can fix it anyway.
The path should absolutely be fixed
The change from 3 to 4 should already be comited and pushed

Oh. Forgot something. Could you make the Default_data_v1_0.txt configuration option selected by default? When doing a fresh install, the gramplet is blank until you use the View → Configure.

In the same vein of not being blank by default, please make it not hide outside the lifespan by default. (So wven in no person exists, there will be data in the Gramplet. (Gramps doesn’t consistently adhere to the GUI guideline that options should in positive rather negative phrasing. But it should. So “Hide outside lifespan” should a “Show outside lifespan” option instead.)

27

If no file is selected, it will use the default file.
But I certainly can make it selected

Ran into another problem.
If birth date or death date is a special date like:
abt 1803
between 1803 and 1805
before 1803
after 1803
the gramplet will crash.
Think I just have to parse the date to get the year (between - the first year)
What haven’t I thought about?

@kmikkels And also a small question. Now its possible use dates in formats like YYYY-mm-dd, but the interface still shows years only, right? Is it possible show full date in interface, dont trim it to years only?

30

go to options and uncheck use year, then you should be good

@emyoulation har tidigare beskrivet hur du kan fÄ den med isotamis verktyg.
Jag skickar ÀndÄ ett mejl, för att sÀkra att vi kan kommunicera via mejl om nödvÀndigt

Two of the files for the US have evolved into something usable. The earlier collection of “prejudicial influences” is now in a usable format. Just had Perplexity create a list of critical dates for involuntary commitment trends in the USA. (Sickened to learn that, upon entering the almshouses in Connecticut, patients were whipped ten times.)

The Historical Context of these policies remind me to look for
 unpleasant
 record possibilities in an ancestor’s life that I might otherwise dodge.
