For the This Day in Family History addon, I tried changing the Home Person and editing a person, but the addon remains stuck on yesterday, which is when I closed and re-opened Gramps. I might just have to get into the habit of not leaving the program running overnight, which isn’t the end of the world.
I never leave Gramps running overnight or if I step away from the computer and expect the computer to go to sleep.
As to resetting the app for a new day… try modifying one of its configuration settings, then changing it back to your desired setting. Have no idea if it works, cannot test because I close Gramps overnight
You’re right about this; it didn’t work for me either. What worked to refresh the data is to close the gramplet and add it back to the dashboard. Give that a try.
Looking through the “Signals and Callbacks” wiki page and developer docs did not indicate a Gramps signal to be monitored for refreshing after a date change.
And Perplexity had a possibly useful response for coding such a feature to the prompt:
I have a question related to the Signals and Callbacks in Gramps (see https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Signals_and_Callbacks and https://gramps-project.org/docs/gen/gen_utils.html#gramps.gen.utils.callman.CallbackManager ) Is there a signal for either “wake from sleep” or change in the time/date ? (So a Gramplet could be refreshed on: wake, after an hour, change of date)
