Example.gramps and 1.7.2 grampsxml.dtd

Development Beta Testing

Maybe a ‘very old’ design issue… It occurs when we “run” a gramplet a second time after having a list stored as “self.text” (GtkTextView) on the first run.

-       self.text.set_text(_('Parsing file...'))
+        if isinstance(self.text, list):
+            pass
+        else:
+            self.text.set_text(_('Parsing file...'))

An other solution might be to make the run button inactive after the first run. If there is a simple way for cleaning the TextBuffer (GtkTextView), like a purge, then this might be better (for ressources, memory leaks & co).

To close all my pending digressions (iteration), and as this post has its solution (dtd file for 1.7.2). Just for information, as I did not look further on the old method and ID importation during investigations, there is maybe one clue after importing a custom Gramps XML generated outside program (outside exporter).

By using custom IDs for records, the easiest way was a simple 1+1+1+1+1 ID set once there is a new record. So, a complete sequence, which could help to see the first records imported and the last group. At the top, the most recent (latest on import pass)

The logical rule is maybe not the expected one (alphanumerical or numerical). I suppose it is the DB stuff. There is no problem for me.

As import process was longer than 1 second, I guess that the timestamp set is one global DB transaction commit. So, if there is an ID mapping issue (like with Gedcom interlinks or broken ID set with ‘old method’), then there is a bug during import, even without interlinks! As it was a custom Gramps XML during testing, the issue should be fixed on the Gramps XML generator (like for Gedcom file format). Do not need to make a new workaround for this old mapping method.
