FYI, after 2 years of break, I got back to working on Gedcom 7. In the last few days, I worked on a library which can form the basis of a new Gedcom 7 import addon. It is written from scratch and does not attempt to parse invalid Gedcom files. This is not ready for testing, but wanted to announce i…

Greg Lamberson (BetterGEDCOM founder) just posted an extensive note to his 2021 GEDCOM7 feature request: I wanted to update this thread with some significant developments in the GEDCOM 7 extension ecosystem that directly address GRAMPS needs. 12226 : [GEDCOM 7]Support Import & Export of New (June…

I tried to use the https://gramps-gedcom7.streamlit.app/ Streamlit web app using Firefox 142.0.1 on Fedora 37. Drag’n’drop and the Browse button did not work. The (apparent) landing pad was an unscalable icon (cloud with an ‘up arrow’, always at 100% width regardless of zoom scale). [image] Drag…

That’s what I meant with [image] DavidMStraub: EDIT: It looks like there is a weird error that when clicking on the link above, the stylesheet and fonts do not load. When I copy the URL https://gramps-gedcom7.streamlit.app/ into the address bar, it works fine (I am using Firefox). Not sure what…

[image] DavidMStraub: If you copy the URL into a new tab, it should work. Apparently Discourse does something weird when redirecting. It seems to be bypassing the stylesheet on redirects. A hotlink from a Gramps-Project.org MediaWiki page or and “Internet” person record in Gramps did load th…
