New FamilyTreeView Addon (Thread 2)

[ztlxltl]

I would like to provide an update on the improvements made over the past two weeks (as of v0.1.151):

• To improve the clarity and findability of the available configurations, I moved some configurations to dedicated pages of the config window.

• There are new configurations on the Names page that enable custom emphasis of call names (e.g. underlining) and primary surnames:
  

  
  
  In the screenshot, the SURNAME, Given Suffix name format (defined in the Gramps preferences) is used. The selected formatting/emphasis options turn the SURNAME into PETITE CAPS, underline the call name (or the first given name if no call name is specified) and emphasize the primary surname with bold formatting (in the last dropdown menu, you can also choose to emphasize the primary prefix as well). The result of this configuration is shown as a preview with an example name at the bottom of the screenshot.
  This feature was inspired by this forum topic posted by @GerhardP. Although it doesn’t enable this feature throughout Gramps, you can now underline the call name in FTV.

• There have been multiple questions about missing expanders in certain situations (e.g. here by @hamkg, here by @stuck, and most recently, in this reddit thread.
  I implemented a “…” icon with a tooltip to inform the user that this is not a bug and to provide a hint on how to show the people he/she wants to expand:
  

  

• There are now multiple options for dashed lines representing non-birth relationships (see issue #57 by @amikot). Four different options for dashed connection lines are available at the bottom of the “Appearance” config page:

  • No dashed connections
  • Dashed if at least one parent is non-birth
  • Dashed only if both parents is non-birth
  • Dashed on each side based on each parent

  The “Dashed on each side based on each parent” option might be the most interesting. When applied to a tree with the following child relationships, they appear as shown in the screenshot below:

  • Both parents have a birth relationship
  • Only father has a birth relationship
  • Only mother has a birth relationship
  • No parent has a birth relationship
  

• Images of families are now displayed in the info box and the panel, requested by @csam, see my comment for more context and example images.

• You can now add the first person to an empty database using FTV.

• Several minor bug fixes and improvements.

Please let me know your feedback and report any bugs that I may have overlooked.
