In version 0.1.159, I added an interesting feature that some of you may find interesting:
-
You can now specify rules to select a picture. This allows you to add other images to the FTV chart, such as people’s signatures or the coat of arms of a people or families. Here is an example using parts of the blurry “birth record” image from the Gramps example tree as signatures. This is just an example and it would look much better with high-quality scans:
The image settings in the content profile are defined as you can see below. The important part here is the “Only use images with a tag that… exactly matches: signature” option. Since I added a new “signature” tag to the image, FTV uses that image here.
Unfortunately, I had to use tags that are attached to images (media objects). I would love to use tags attached to media references (or something like media reference types), but this is not currently supported by Gramps. Besides citations, attributes and notes, the only information stored with media references are the rectangle and the privacy flag. I decided against using attributes or notes as criteria because this would add more complexity due to the key-value pair of attributes and the different purpose of notes.@emyoulation Are you aware of any efforts or discussions to add tags to media references (or secondary objects in general) or any other ideas for adding functionality to distinguish media references for a given person or family? This would make this feature much more streamlined.
@Urchello This new feature should also allow you to achieve what you described here. You need to add a tag to the images, add the images to the corresponding people, create a new content profile (or modify an existing one) that includes an image item with the “Only use images with a tag that…” option set to the tag you added to the images.
-
Image resolution and grayscale filter can be chosen individually for each image content item.
-
The item parameters don’t reload after every modification in the content profile editor.
As always, please let me know what you think!
