Favorite "gramplets"?

What are some of the most popular gramplets?

2

For me, the References gramplet is indispensable and the one I use most often. The Quick View gramplet is perhaps the most flexible, and probably the one I use second most often.

You’d probably have to separate that into 2 Gramplet categories: built-in & 3rd party add-ons.

Oh… and Gramplets are only the interactive subcategory of add-ons (or more generically, plugins. That category include both built-in plug-ins and add-on plug-ins.)

Without a doubt, the Gramplets I use most are the various Views’ built-in Filters. But they are used so ubiquitously that most users don’t even think of them as a ‘Gramplets’ anymore.

Beyond that, I am constantly using the Pedigree, Descendants or Deep Connections when speaking with curious cousins.

And the Data Entry Gramplet is a wonderful shortcut for filling in a branch of the tree.

I am a heavy user of the Web Connect. Wished it worked on more than the People lists though.

The biggest change to my use of Gramps has been the new Combined View addon.

My favorite is Graph View addon. special mention to the addons search bar.

Most used is the Forms addon for entering census information.

The Quick View shell is also a very useful gramplet.

I like to have the Biography addon quick view in the Bottombar of the People views. When configured in the Quick View shell, it automatically updates to display the vital statistics for the Active Person in conversational form.

Designed for copy’n’pasting a Biography to improve WikiTree profiles using their preferred format, it allows clipboarding of vital statistics for a Person.

This is one of the few places that allows clipboarding the full Person name or Place hierarchy.

I’ve patched my Biography addon to also list the parents of the spouse. (patch, Feature request 13655)

I can not find this anywhere. Is it a direct install from github? It’s not showing in the Addons Manager or the Plugin Manager, or the preinstalled gramplets.

Looks like it is listed under “Expert” for some reason.

the Data Entry gramplet is an “Expert” audience gramplet. If you don’t do the broader (mass) install from the “Settings”, you will need to choose “Expert” or “All audiences” from the audience pop-up in the Addons tab of the Addon Manager. Then the listing and an “Install” button will be shown in the Gramps collection.

the Audience attributes were chosen by the team converting the gramplets to 5.2 registration. Some of the cuts were probably made to reduce overload or increase saturation in sub-categorizations.

As the author, you might want to review your addons and push audience changes where needed. At the very least, your Data Entry and Import Text seem like they could be for Everyone.

The “Audience” was derived from the “Use” column in the Addons List in the wiki. You can see that the Data Entry gramplet is listed as “Expert user”.

The “Status” was enhanced to include some of the options in the “Rating” column.

See the legend for a further details.

Perhaps it is time to make the wiki consistent with the Addon Manager. We can update any categorisation as appropriate.

My favorite gramplet is “What’s next”. I primarily use it together with my favorite add-on FamilyTreeView.
