Would it be possible to show birth and death place in the tree’s boxes?
@hamkg
I’m planning to add a configuration for the boxes where you can select what to show in the boxes. You could deselect the picture/avatar and select the place of birth and death. Right now, I have other high priorities, but it’s on my list.
A very nice addon for gramps
Thank you for your kind words!
it took me some time to fix the dependencies for all functionalities (on my slackware linux I had to install goocanvas, graphviz and xdot).
Why did you had to install graphviz and xdot? They are not dependencies of FamilyTreeView. They are dependencies of GraphView, whose search bar is displayed if available, but GraphView or it dependencies are not a prerequisite.
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.
This has been asked several times. Just yesterday, @Urchello asked this. You already found the option, but let me quote my answer from yesterday to @Urchello and highlight the important part:
There is an experimental config to use an adaptive approach to calculate the generation distance. I only got positive feedback from one user, so I’m not sure if there are any problems with special cases. Once a few people have tested this experimental approach, I’ll make it the default.
So, if you want this to be the default, please give me feedback!
Maybe this was added in v. 1.40 - or did I just miss it earlier?
It was added quite a while ago (and I’ve been waiting for feedback since then), but I agree that it’s a bit hidden in the experimentals page of the config window.
Anyone else experienced the following oddity?
LANG=sv-utf8
I’m not sure why Gramps has problems when a translation is missing. It sounds more like a problem with the plugin manager because I can’t control what it tries to download and how it behaves when it can’t find a translation file.
The alternative interpretation of this behavior would be that Gramps requires me to provide translation files for all possible languages. @emyoulation Can this be the case?
In my opinion, the best solution would be to catch the problem in Gramps’ plugin management.
@emyoulation I’m still waiting for a response from Nick (see here) to move forward on this topic. Do you have any news for me regarding this?
