In consultation with @emyoulation , the original thread about FamilyTreeView (FTV) has been split at the v0.1.65 anouncement due to the thread’s length (>330 comments). The discussion can be continued here. The addon seems to work, but should not be considered stable yet. Please back up your data b…

[image] GeorgeWilmes: What if there could be an optional “as-of date” that would act as a filter (eliminating all of the people not yet born as of that date, and events that had not yet occurred), and showing other relationships as they were as of that date? I think filtering would be rather …

[image] emyoulation: @Nick-Hall about the best way to mitigate the Requirements barrier. (Possibly bundling the GraphView support or rolling the addon into the core.) Both the GraphView and FamilyTreeView use GooCanvas which is now obsolete. It is unmaintained and not available in Gtk 4. As…

Today I created a new wiki page “Addon:FamilyTreeView” and started editing this page. From my point of view the FamilyTreeView is the most important addon, but it has not been documented. I created headings for the different parts I wanted to document, like installation, configuration and usage. …

[image] csam: This really PISS ME OFF! That was me :frowning: This addon is unreleased and does not point to the wiki, the developer will decide when it will be added to wiki, so for now I’ve adjusted the documentation to point to his development page. [2026-01-15 10_13_47-Addon_FamilyTree…

Yes, wiki pages on new (and changing) addons or new releases can be very challenging. After several frustrating sessions of wiki-contributors working at cross purposes, I put together a “work in progress” template that asked other contributors to refrain from editing until a specific date. (Our issu…

@csam please hold off creating the wiki page until @ztlxltl ( the creator of the addon) decides it is ready for release. The current documentation is available in the readme on Github for the addon see: https://github.com/ztlxltl/FamilyTreeView

We didn’t ask if @csam hasn’t already been in contact with @ztlxltl about creating an Addon: wiki landing page for the gpr.py file. That’s one of the preparatory steps for a general release. Wikicontributors often offer to relieve the developer of learning mediawiki markup idiosyncrasies. We can ad…

I don’t see a problem with people helping to write the user documentation. This is often overlooked by the developer.

Because the 2 threads for the FamilyTreeView are absolutely HUGE (over 250 postings in each) having a Wiki article that talks about installation would be helpful. Key points for avoiding manual installation: installing pre-requistite Using the Addon Manager ’s Projects tab for adding the path to cu…
