Gramplets available in combined view

Glad we could give you some usable suggestions.

If you’re so inclined, you could help us help the next person. The longer we use Gramps, the less we notice where using it is convoluted. It starts to feel natural.

So we need reminders from new users where it is unnatural. In a lots of case, smoothing out those rough edges can improve the experience for everyone.

An example: it used to be hard to get rid of Custom Types that were made by mistake. If you typed in a gender of ‘mAle’ while trying to type '‘Male’ , then you were stuck with a 3rd Gender menu item. There were constant questions on the Maillist about how to eliminate accidentally created menu items. (You had to find & fix all occurrences of the typo, export the Tree & re-import to a fresh Tree.) We were all thrilled when Paul released an add-on tool to manage custom types. The process is so much more simple that we can’t think: “yeah, but if the custom type creation routine just ignored capitalization when looking to see if a matching menu item existed, then ‘mAle’ would never have caused a mess in the first place.”

Maybe you could reflect on your ‘new user experience’ while it’s still fresh? Then write your story at:
