Hello All, I am new to the Gramps Dev community and after having looked at the setup requirements that would allow me to pursue what I envision, I am very intimidated. Background: I have “inherited” the custody of my family’s tree that one of my uncles and my father previously converted from a 19…

Hello and welcome to Gramps. Google Photos is great, but keep in mind that if your Google account gets blocked because the AI deems some pictures too revealing (like a baby splashing around in a pool without swim trunks), everything is gone. I save everything locally and upload it as needed, whe…

[image] DavidMStraub: In my opinion, Gramps Notes would be a perfectly viable option for a biography page. We’d just need to agree on a universal convention for marking a note as a biography. Then Gramps Web could display it in an appropriate way. Perhaps just a new dedicated NoteType in Gramps …

Yes. I installed a local copy of Picasa.

Thank you for your reply @ DavidMStraub , Q1) Are you mostly thinking about Gramps Web or Gramps in general?
