Hello everyone, Since about the middle of 2022, I have been working on and off on a navigable tree visualization of ancestors, descendants, and other relatives . I was trying to create a view that looked more organized/consistent than the Graph View, and that easily displays basic information about…

[image] hamkg: [image] ztlxltl: I should be able to add an option to make the boxes smaller and show no image or avatar at all for all people. That would be a nice option! [image] hamkg: Would it be possible to show birth and death place in the tree’s boxes? @hamkg I’m planning…

[image] Urchello: [image] hamkg: I’ve noticed that the distance between generations increases with the distance from the active person, could that be changed? It makes it difficult to navigate among the earliest generations in a tree with > 8 generations. I also agree with this. My vote +…

[image] ztlxltl: Maybe I wasn’t clear enough about where to find it? Im sorry, I understoot it only now ))). I’ve updated the addon, found the experimental option, turned on it, and everything looks nice! [image] Its REALLY cool! Earlier I said that the best tree view has Myheritrage, but …

One more small suggestion which can be actual for big trees is: maybe alternate lines colors? when it will be 5-10-15 horizontal black lines - it will be difficult to find card by line. Here is only 3 lines - its OK [Screenshot from 2025-01-15 19-15-26] Or maybe go between cards by clicking the l…

[image] Urchello: maybe alternate lines colors? @Urchello The low contrast is due to the dark theme. Adapting to dark theme is on my todo list and as more and more people report it, I’m moving it up my list. [image] Urchello: Or maybe go between cards by clicking the lines (I dont know,…

@ztlxltl another question about zoom-in, zoom-out. Is it possible make font size fixed when a card is zoomed? So, even if some content is truncated we can zoom-in and all the content will appear :thinking:. [Screenshot from 2025-01-15 20-36-16] [Screenshot from 2025-01-15 20-36-34] What do you t…

[image] Urchello: Is it possible make font size fixed when a card is zoomed? @Urchello Thanks for the question. I actively decided not to do that and added the info box for that (by default it opens on single click). The text in the info box doesn’t change when you zoom. In your case, where…

[image] ztlxltl: I have finding a solution for long dates on my todo list Some other features use tooltips for expanded listings. (I should really check that it isn’t already doing that before posting… but I’m working from my phone today.)

No, tooltips are not implemented, but this is a great idea and therefore ANOTHER item for my todo list. :sweat_smile:
