I too got it to work and was expecting a filtered list based upon Birth and Death of the person.
But… one person I tried it on was born 1934. The time span for Hitler’s rise to power is 1933-1945. The event was in the darker shade so still visible I feel should still be included as an event for them if the list is filtered.
Note: My list did not pick up the en_US_data_v1_0 (I am in the U.S.) file although it did pick up the custom_data_v1_0. I assume I was expected to load the file da_DK_data_v1_0
Now looking at the config file, I see the Filter check box which I assume is for the shading of events. The problem with always displaying the full list of events, an event in 1750 has no relevance to someone born in 1934. I opened the gramplet in the bottom bar in Relationships. Could the list, with shading, be filtered to be between the Birth of the parents to the last Death of either the Person, spouse or children?
