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…

@Brinycoolie Thanks for your suggestion! I’ve also thought of this before, but it seems I haven’t put this on my list yet. Currently there is a “Filter result” badge to highlight the results of the sidebar filter (see here ). Unfortunately, this can be extremely slow for complex filters, since the …

In the latest version (v0.1.103), I added a feature that was originally a high priority: Links to make one of the people listed in the panel (general info on person/family and timeline) as the active person. In my original HTML/CSS/JS implementation I used buttons for this but in Gtk (the GUI toolki…

With the FTV panel showing for the Active Person, then in the panel when I click on the link to make the spouse the Active Person then, as expected, the chart updates and the spouse becomes the Active Person. However, the panel for the new person does not open. I didn’t expect that. I presumed th…

[image] stuck: However, the panel for the new person does not open. @stuck This is somewhat intentional, coming from the built-in panel to hide automatically to show the new tree. I agree that it makes sense to show the panel in some situations. I’ll put this on my list.

[image] ztlxltl: This is somewhat intentional… OK but given that I’d clicked a link in the panel I expected the focus to stay in the panel.

In the latest version of FamilyTreeView (v0.1.109), I added a feature that has been requested several times ( here and here by @Urchello ): a way to display dates compactly. The two images below show dates and their compact representation. Please keep in mind that the representation is just a first at…

After @emyoulation suggested using ≤ and ≥ instead of < and > ( here ) and moving and copying posts a bit ( discussing how “before” and “after” are misleading labels), I pushed v0.1.110, which adopts @emyoulation ’s suggestions. As I wrote before, the currently used symbols are only a first draft, so a…

[image] ztlxltl: @Urchello Have you tried the compact date display? yes, it looks very good, thanks a lot! [Screenshot from 2025-03-16 13-32-15] And what about regular mode? Can I configure the same character-view? [Screenshot from 2025-03-16 13-32-37]

@Urchello Your first screenshot looks like the “only display year” option (which overrides the compact date format), which is enabled by default for the “Birth and daeath or fallbacks” item type. Regarding your second screenshot: Are you sure you checked the option for the item types for the “Regu…
